Nature Reserves in Russia

Few countries can match Russia when it comes to the rarest jewels of nature. This is an amazing land where you can be transported back well beyond the reaches of human history. Russia has an incredible collection of zapovedniks or nature reserves, where eco-systems are preserved in their pristine states. While it is true that Russia is extremely fortunate to have such an enormous basket of natural resources, it is also to the eternal credit of the country’s government that this inherited wealth is so splendidly protected for future generations. Many of us tend to forget that conservation comes at high costs, because a country must forego significant material and financial benefits of economic development in order to look after its natural reserves.
