Barguzin Nature Reserve

Barguzinsky Nature Reserve (Russian: Баргузинский заповедник) is the oldest of zapovedniks (nature reserves). It is located in Buryatia (Russia) on the west slope of the Barguzin Range, including the northeast shores of the Lake Baikal and a part of the lake itself. The name of the preserve (and the range) comes from the Barguzin River. The area of the reserve is 2,482 km2 (958 sq mi). It was created in 1916 to preserve and increase the numbers of Barguzin Sable (Martes zibellina). Mountainous and taiga landscapes are also being preserved.

The Barguzin Reserve is located in the Trans-Baikal conifer forests ecoregion. This ecoregion covers a mountainous region of southern taiga stretching east, and south from the shores of Lake Baikal in southern Russia, reaching into northern Mongolia. The climate of Barguzin is a Subarctic climate with dry winters (Köppen climate classification Subartic climate(Dwc)). This climate is characterized by mild summers (only 1–3 months above 10 °C (50.0 °F)) and cold winters, having monthly precipitation less than one-tenth of the wettest summer month.[2][3]
