90000 Dzhugdzhursky Reserve of Ayano-May District of Khabarovsk Territory: territory, plants and animals 90001 90002 Unfortunately, active and harsh activitya man on the planet has endangered the extinction of many species of animals and plants. Some of them have already been lost forever, and to preserve others, special zones have appeared-reserves where scientists have the opportunity to study the plant and animal world that is not affected by human exposure. Russia pursues an environmentally sound policy.The Khabarovsk Territory, for example, has on its territory as many as six reserves, which generally boast of preserving more than one thousand different species of plants and animals. Not everyone has a chance in life to visit such a territory, where the wise and simple laws of nature prevail. Therefore, today the topic of our article was the Dzhugdzhursky Reserve, the largest in the Far East. 90003 90004 General description of the reserve 90005 90002 Dzhugdzhursky Reserve is not in vain considered the mostlarge, because its territory exceeds eight hundred and fifty thousand hectares.At the same time, more than fifty-seven thousand hectares of the marine area are included in the protected area. The security zone is two hundred and fifty thousand hectares. 90003 90002 Interestingly, scientists note that the Dzhugdzhurskythe reserve has natural climatic conditions identical to the two ecosystems — mountain tundra and mountain taiga. The climate of the western part is quite severe, there are few precipitations, and the temperature drops are frequent and sharp. On the coast, on the contrary, a lot of precipitation falls, and winds often blow.Mists are natural at any time of the year. This is a feature of the reserve, which served as the impetus for the creation of this state-protected zone. Indeed, under such conditions, a large number of endemic plants and animals live. 90003 90004 Dzhugdzhursky reserve: geographical location 90005 90002 Where is the reserve, and how to get there? To get to this zone, you will need to go to the Far East of Russia. Scientists and historians believe that these territories are extremely rich and on many lands it is possible to create reserves to preserve the purity of local places in their original form.After all, the loss of this fascinating beauty will be an irreplaceable loss that will change the entire Far East. 90003 90002 In recent years, the Russian Federation has been trying to maximize thetake care of protection of protected lands. Therefore, for about thirty years on the territory of the country there are zones with a special state status. The Ayano-May district became the place where the largest among the reserves of the Khabarovsk Territory was formed, which became the topic of our today’s article.90003 90004 90005 90004 Natural areas of the reserve 90005 90002 The state nature reserve «Dzhugdzhursky», as we have already specified, covers quite a vast territory. It is located on the coast of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, covering the land and several islands. 90003 90002 The Dzhugdzhur Range, which divides the reserve intotwo parts, actively affects the nature of this area. Everyone who comes here for the first time admires the beauty of this mountainous country, which is often given a characteristic similar to the Alps.90003 90002 Officially, the reserve is divided into three zones or clusters: 90003 90026 90027 Malmön islands. 90028 90027 Coastal. 90028 90027 Dzhugdzhursky. 90028 90033 90002 Each has its own characteristics, as well as flora and fauna. 90003 90002 In addition, the ridge that passes overland servesthe source of the formation of two absolutely different from each other natural zones. It is difficult to get to the southeast, it is mountainous and is located in the coastal strip. The second part is a mountain plateau, where in a large number there are hills, ridges and mountains.90003 90004 History of the Reserve 90005 90002 The Ayano-Mayi district was of interest to zoologiststhe distant forty-fifth year of the last century. First of all, scientists were concerned about the population of snow sheep, which it was necessary to urgently take under protection. Periodically, zoologists published their observations of the animals of this region and strongly recommended the creation of a special zone that would be protected by the state. 90003 90002 In 1984, work began on the designfuture reserve.This mission was entrusted to Professor S. S. Kharkevich. For five years, he and his assistants have been working to form the boundaries of the nature protection zone. As a result, his work was approved, and a decision was made to create a reserve. 90003 90002 The official opening date is the tenthSeptember 1990. It is interesting that in the seventeen years of its existence the Dzhugdzhursky Reserve has never changed its director. The unchallenged leader of these territories is Ten Ho Za. 90003 90002 A year after its foundation, the Dzhugdzhurskythe reserve expanded its territory, the water area of ​​the Sea of ​​Okhotsk was added to it.Over time, the material and technical database of the territories was updated, and the reserve itself received additional funding from the state more than once. 90003 90004 Goals and objectives of the reserve 90005 90002 It is difficult to overestimate the role thatDzhugdzhursky reserve. Protected species of plants and animals are in many ways unique, and therefore need careful study and protection. In addition, the fate of the water depends on the purity of the mountain rivers, which ensure the flow of water to the Sea of ​​Okhotsk.In addition, many of these waterways are spawning. A special line for the purpose of forming a reserve is the study and conservation of mountain forests. The most common representative of them is the Ayan spruce. It is a real pride of Priokhotya and is carefully guarded by the state. 90003 90002 The tasks of the Dzhugdzhur reserve can be represented as follows: 90003 90026 90027 the protection of territories for the conservation of biological species and plants; 90028 90027 conducting scientific work on the territory of the reserve; 90028 90027 ecological monitoring; 90028 90027 carrying out of works on ecological education of the population; 90028 90027 active assistance in the training of scientists and ordinary specialists in the field of ecology.90028 90033 90002 I want to note that the administration of the reserve successfully copes with its tasks. 90003 90004 90005 90004 Ecological tourism 90005 90002 The development of the reserve is also facilitated by the ecologicaltourism, which in recent years has become increasingly popular with Russians. Here you can travel to individual areas or drive the entire reserve entirely. In any case, you will have something to see. The most popular among tourists are the following places: 90003 90002 90075 Lake Baikalenok 90076 90003 90002 It is not without reason that it has such a telling name, because its water is so pure that it does not yield to its older «brother».90003 90002 90075 The Selenda River 90076 90003 90002 She starts her way high in the mountains anddiffers calmness, but quickly acquires a more recalcitrant character and with a noise escapes directly from the rock, breaking through a hole a meter and a half in diameter. This spectacle is simply impossible to forget, it captivates everyone who saw it with their own eyes. 90003 90002 90075 Zipadinsky caves 90076 90003 90002 These galleries are excellent for s 90003.90000 Dzhugdzhursky Reserve of Ayano-May District of Khabarovsk Territory: territory, plants and animals 90001 90002 Unfortunately, active and harsh activitya man on the planet has endangered the extinction of many species of animals and plants.

P. 3 90001 90002 90003 90002 90005 NATURE 90006 90003 90008 Existing since the first days of the museum nature department gives information on geography of the Khabarovsk Territory, variety of its mineral resources and diversity of its unique flora and fauna. It has valuable exhibits — nature monuments collected by its workers, scientists and naturalists P.T. Bykov, V.K. Arsenyev, N.A. Desulavy, V.V. Dombrovsky, S.Ya. Sizykh, A.I. Kordakov, G.E. Roslyakov and many others inquisitive and disinterested helpers. 90003 90008 The relief map of the Russian Far East is placed by the entrance to the first section. The Khabarovsk Territory is located in the eastern part of the Euro-Asian continent. Namely its location determines natural andclimate peculiarities and components of relief in the Territory.They are mountains, valleys and lowlands, rivers, lakes and seas. 90003 90008 Exhibits of the palaeonthological section are the remains of ancient plants and animals. They narrate the story of evolution at the border of continent and world ocean where the sea and land fossils are neighbours. The skull of Chukotka mammoth is the most noticeable among them. It was presented to the museum by the governor-general of the Priamursky Territory N.L. Gondatti in 1896. The mammoth tusk of the same age found 8 meters deep in the ground within the city of Khabarovsk in тисячі дев’ятсот сімдесят п’ять testifies to the fact that those animals inhabited Priamurye 41 thousand years ago. 90003 90008 The unique exhibit of the Khabarovsk Regional Lore Museum is a full skeleton of sea cow of Steller. Russian seamen who took part in the V. Bering expedition saw it for the first time near the Comandor islands in 1741.That animal was 10 metres long with the weight of about 4 tons and fed on seaweeds. After that in about 27 years sea cows were exterminated by hunters for sea ​​animals. That’s why the full skeletons of those animals are rare. By the order of the Priamursky governor-general S.M. Dukhovskoy two skeletons were found on the Bering island. They were brought to the museum in тисячі вісімсот дев’яносто сім and in 1898. Later one of them was sold to the Paris Natural Historical Museum for these funds to finish the building of the Khabarovsk Regional Lore Museum.90003 90008 The section «Mineral resources» shows great and various amounts of mineral resources within the area of ​​the Khabarovsk Territory, such as complex ore deposits, soft and hard coals, precious and semi-precious stones. The very rare minerals are druses of quartz, pyrites and other minerals. There is the only meteorite here found within the Khabarovsk Territory called «Khabarovsk» and also fragments of the famous Sikhote-Alyn meteorite which fell down in 1947.90003 90008 The fauna and flora of the Russian Far East is both unique and varied. Its originality consists first of all in the wonderful combination of northern and southern, subtropical and Siberian species both in the vegetation and animal worlds.
