meaning “Udyl”, reserve of federal significance “Olzhikansky” and
nature reserve of federal significance "Badzhalsky".
The climate is characterized by a change in the direction of air flows to the opposite from winter to summer.
In winter, air currents prevail over the Lower Amur, directed from land to sea and having
low temperatures, and low moisture content. Summer streams humid air brought from the sea
cool rainy weather. During the warm period, 80-90% of annual precipitation falls, often in
in the form of showers. The driest month is February, the wettest month is August. Temperature

more than 5 months; spring is short and dry. Summer is cool and rainy, but in some years
Droughts are possible in early - mid-summer. Autumn is short and sunny. Soil: The soils of the reserve are divided into mountainous and flat.
In mountainous areas, mountain brown-taiga, mountain brown-taiga illuvial-humus and brown mountain-forest soils are common.
Mountain brown-taiga soils are found under mountain coniferous forests, are characterized by weak
dismemberment of the profile, low thickness of horizons and a high degree of rubble. Mountain
brown-taiga illuvial-humus soils are found under spruce-fir and spruce
forests on mountain slopes. They are characterized by low power, acidic reaction, heavy
mechanical composition. Brown mountain forest soils are developed under coniferous-broad-leaved and
deciduous forests. They are formed under conditions of good drainage on loose eluvial solution. Their profile is characterized by an intense brown color, more pronounced
division into horizons.
Lowland areas are characterized by brown forest podzolic, floodplain brown, meadow

Komsomolsky Reserve
The Komsomolsky Nature Reserve is located in the basin of the Gorin River, a large left tributary of the Amur River, in the Khabarovsk Territory. The reserve was founded in 1963. The relief of the territory is low-mountain, smooth, the watersheds are flat, completely covered with forest. The modern territory of the reserve includes both mountain ranges and riverine lowlands. On average, the height of the mountains is 500 meters above sea level. The highest point of the reserve is Mount Chokkety (about 800 m). The reserve is located at the mouth of the Gorin River basin, a left tributary of the Amur. In addition to the mouth of the Gorin with its tributaries, the reserve includes a 100-meter strip of the Amur riverbed. In the floodplains of these rivers there are many lakes and oxbow lakes. Most lakes are small and shallow. The largest lake is Beach. Its length is about 2.5 km, width more than 1 km, depth up to 2 meters. The territory of the reserve is located in the zone of influence of the Far Eastern monsoons. Winters are usually cold, with little snow, summers are cool and rainy. The average January temperature is -25ºС (minimum -50ºС), July +20ºС (maximum +35ºС).
Dzhugdzhursky reserve
The reserve was created in 1990 to protect the undisturbed mountain-taiga landscapes of the Okhotsk region with their inherent flora and fauna, as well as the marine ecosystems of the south Sea of Okhotsk and marine mammals, places of migratory gatherings of birds. The territory of the reserve includes the central part of the Dzhugjur ridge and the southern part of the Pribrezhny ridge.
The vegetation features of the protected area are determined by the harsh climatic conditions western part of the Sea of Okhotsk. According to botanists, the largest center of endemism is located on the coast of the Ayano-Maisky region, that is, many of the plants growing here are found nowhere else. Three species of plants in the reserve are listed in the Red Book of Russia. These are Lady's slipper grandiflora, Valerian ayanskaya and Borodinia Teelinga. The most common animals in the reserve are brown bear, sable, and wolverine. Rock grouse are also common. Typical Arctic species are also represented: ptarmigan, rough-legged buzzard, and Central Asian: bighorn sheep, black-capped marmot, mountain pipit. In the coastal part of the Sea of Okhotsk, a variety of pinnipeds are found: ringed seal (akiba), spotted seal (spotted seal), piebald seal (lionfish), bearded seal.
Botchinsky Reserve
In 1982 at Far East Russia in the river basin In Botchi, a reserve of regional significance with an area of 239 thousand hectares was organized. In 1984, according to the plan for the development of a network of reserves in Russia until the year 2000, the scientific community of the region made a justification for the need to create a reserve on the basis of an existing reserve. As a result of detailed expeditionary research biological diversity In the Khabarovsk Territory, in 1994, in the Sovetsko-Gavansky district, the Botchinsky Nature Reserve was created on the site of an existing reserve. The area of the Botchinsky Reserve is 267,380 hectares, it is located 120 km south of the city of Sovetskaya Gavan.
The Botchinsky Nature Reserve is located in an area where inhabitants of the north and south coexist. In the north, the forests are dominated by coniferous species: larch, spruce, fir. Representatives of the Manchurian taiga include: Amur grapes, Korean cedar, pointed yew, and ginseng. Larch forests are developed in the upper reaches of the tributaries of the Ikha and Mulpa rivers. Thickets of dwarf cedar are found at the headwaters of the Botchi River and its tributaries. Fir-spruce forests are most common in the watershed between the Nelma and Botchi rivers and at its source. Among the plants listed in the Red Data Book of the Russian Federation, lady's slipper grandiflora, leafless mullet, and obovate peony are found here. Among the mammals, elk is widespread, and there are wapiti, musk deer, wolverine, reindeer, and brown bear. But the white-breasted bear is considered here rare species. The Botchinsky Reserve is the northernmost permanent habitat of the Amur tiger, the number of which is here in last years ranges from 4 to 6 individuals. Of the birds listed in the Red Book of the Russian Federation, the mandarin duck, Steller's and white-tailed eagle, osprey, peregrine falcon, golden eagle, and fish owl are noted. Black stork and black crane are also seen.
Bolshekhehtsirsky Reserve
The territory of the reserve occupies most of the Greater Khekhtsir ridge and is located between the river valley. Ussuri and the Khabarovsk-Vladivostok railway. The reserve's topography is predominantly mountainous, but there are also flat areas - flat, slightly dissected surfaces of ancient lake terraces. They lie at absolute heights from 35 to 100 m, on average 40–50 m above sea level. seas. Lowland areas are characterized by long-season permafrost and waterlogging; The main type of landscape is chenopodia. The foothills of Khekhtsir are hilly and rugged. Average heights are 80–150 m, individual hills reach 200–250 m above sea level. There are several oxbow lakes - Nymphaeum, Surprise, Brazenievoe. Spring floods are not pronounced; floods are common in summer, during the monsoon rains.
In the foothills and mountainous area Hazel oak forest is common, and the grass stand is characterized by bracken fern, asters and Ussuri sedge. In addition to oak, in such places there are Amur linden, small-leaved maple, and Daurian birch. The valleys are dominated by willow, alder and ash forests. Willow forests are represented by Schwerin willow, alder forests by downy alder, and ash trees by Manchurian ash. In the valleys mountain rivers and streams there are shrub and cedar forests from the group of valley wet cedar-broad-leaved forests. The dominant position in the fauna of the reserve as a whole belongs to the fauna of mountain coniferous-deciduous forests. The dominant species of mouse-like rodents in the forest-meadow foothill zone are the field mouse and the eastern vole. In the lower reaches of the Chirka, the gray rat lives outside of human habitation. The forest-meadow landscapes of the northern slope of Khekhtsir limit the distribution of the Amur hedgehog in the reserve. The most common ungulates here are roe deer, summer time- wapiti and wild boar, among predators - badger, raccoon dog, fox. Wolves periodically enter the foothills of Khekhtsir.
The game was recorded in the village of Bichi, which is located in the zone of the state Komsomol reserve of the Komsomolsky district. Only employees of the reserve now live in this village. This game is reminiscent of the Russian game "Running over bumps". “Jumping over Bumps” was played by the Nanai children of the Bichi camp, who in the process of this game learned to quickly and deftly overcome difficult bumpy areas of the terrain.
"Duck Hunt". One of the favorite games of Nanai children was “Duck Hunting”. This game brought children a lot of joy and pleasure. Akim Samar - teacher and poet who died in the Great Patriotic War near Stalingrad, he recalled his childhood in this way: “Each of the players tried to be like a duck, and when we ran to an imaginary lake, we got the impression that these were real ducks flying. To the side, hiding from us, the “hunters” sat impatiently waiting for their “prey”.
Traditional Nanai games are of particular value. Their effect on the body of the children of the Amur people was distinguished by a wide range and was truly universal. With their content and focus, the games aroused children's interest in the crafts of their parents. With the help of games, health developed and strengthened, vital motor qualities and skills were formed, honesty, courage, mutual assistance, will, love of nature were cultivated, and a certain spiritual mood was created.

- Area of protected territory: 9,831
- Location: The reserve was established in 1963 to preserve and study the natural complexes of the Lower Amur region - slightly disturbed cedar-broad-leaved forests, dark-coniferous and light-coniferous taiga.
- It is located on the territory of the Komsomolsky district of the Khabarovsk Territory, 40 km northeast of the city of Komsomolsk-on-Amur.
- It consists of one plot with an area of 64.4 thousand hectares, including the water area of the river. Amur is 4.5 thousand hectares. The area of the protected zone is 9.8 thousand hectares.
- The reserve has 4 controlled territories: the natural monument of regional significance "Silinsky Forest" with an area of 50.8 hectares, the reserve of federal significance "Udyl", the reserve of federal significance "Oldzhikansky" and the reserve of federal significance "Badzhalsky".
- Climate: The territory of the reserve is located in the zone of influence of the Far Eastern monsoons. The monsoon climate is characterized by a change in the direction of air flows to the opposite from winter to summer. In winter, air currents prevail over the Lower Amur, directed from land to sea and having low temperatures and low moisture content. In summer, streams of moist air from the sea bring cool, rainy weather. During the warm period, 80-90% of annual precipitation falls, often in the form of showers. The driest month is February, the wettest month is August. The temperature regime differs significantly from the average for these latitudes. In Komsomolsk-on-Amur, the average annual temperature is 6 degrees below the average latitude. The average annual temperature in the reserve area is 0.8 degrees. C, average January -25 degrees. C (minimum -50), July +20 degrees. C (maximum +35). In spring and autumn, penetration of cold Arctic air masses and development of late spring and early autumn air masses is possible. frosts. Winter is usually cold, with little snow, lasting more than 5 months; spring is short and dry. Summers are cool and rainy, but in some years droughts are possible in early to mid-summer. Autumn is short and sunny.
- Soil: The soils of the reserve are divided into mountainous and flat.
- In mountainous areas, mountain brown-taiga, mountain brown-taiga illuvial-humus and brown mountain-forest soils are common.
- Mountain brown-taiga soils are found under mountain coniferous forests and are characterized by weak profile dissection, low thickness of horizons and a high degree of rubble. Mountain brown-taiga illuvial-humus soils are found under spruce-fir and spruce forests on mountain slopes. They are characterized by low power, acidic reaction, and heavy mechanical composition. Brown mountain forest soils are developed under coniferous-deciduous and broad-leaved forests. They are formed under conditions of good drainage on loose eluvial colluvium. Their profile is characterized by an intense brown color and more pronounced division into horizons.
- Lowland areas are characterized by brown forest podzolic, floodplain brown, meadow gley, swamp and floodplain layered soils.
- Flora: The plant cover is formed by representatives of three floristic complexes - Amur (Manchurian), Beringian and East Siberian. The Manchurian complex near the mouth of Gorin is at the northern limit of distribution. Only a few of its species penetrate to the north and northeast of this area, and they are found there sporadically and soon disappear completely. The most typical Amur elements for the reserve are Korean cedar, Japanese and lobed elms, Manchurian ash, Amur velvet, Eleutherococcus senticosus, Chinese lemongrass, Amur grape, Actinidia kolomikta and others. Typical representatives of the Beringian flora are Ayan spruce, white fir, Middendorf weigela and Clintonia ouda; East Siberian - Cajander larch, hard and black-headed sedges, marsh rosemary and rosemary, spreading birch and others
- Fauna: swimming birds are most numerous during spring and autumn migrations. Since the Komsomolsky Nature Reserve overlooks the Amur River and is located a short distance from the Evoron-Chukchagir Depression, where there are many bodies of water that attract ducks and geese, its territory is crossed by important routes for migrating birds. Among the migratory ducks, pintails, teals, and scoundrels predominate; of the geese - white-fronted and bean goose. During nesting time, killer whales are more common than other ducks; large mergansers hang out along fast rivers - tributaries of the Amur. Scaly-tailed merganser was also recorded on Gorin. The nesting of a fish owl is very likely. Chipmunks and squirrels are found almost everywhere in the reserve where there is woody vegetation, but in the cedar forests the number of these species is much higher than in the fir-spruce forests and larch forests. The flying squirrel inhabits a wide variety of habitats; This peculiar big-eyed animal with twilight and nocturnal activity, capable of covering the distance from tree to tree with a special gliding flight, is common in the Lower Amur region. Among ungulates and predatory animals, the central place in the communities of the Gorin basin belongs to musk deer and sable, elk and brown bear. “Southern” predators - the harza, the white-breasted bear and the tiger - are extremely rare or appear only intermittently.
