The Land of the Leopard National Park is famous all over the world for its truly unique nature. Located at the junction of the borders of three states, this territory has the largest variety of animal and plant species in Northeast Asia. The "Land of the Leopard" includes reference areas of the South Ussuri taiga that have preserved relict black fir-liana-deciduous forests. In terms of plant species diversity, these places have no equal in the entire Far East. Only here you can simultaneously see five species of birch, eight species of maple, as well as many endemic plant species. 64 species of flora are listed in the Red Book of Russia. The animal world of the "Land of the Leopard" is no less rich. This place is rightfully called the "most feline" specially protected natural area of Russia. After all, only here there are four types of wild cats at once – the Far Eastern leopard, the Amur tiger, the lynx and the Far Eastern forest cat.

The Far Eastern Marine Reserve is the first and only marine biosphere reserve in Russia, located in the western part of the Sea of Japan. It was established in 1978 and protects the unique natural complexes of the waters and islands of Peter the Great Bay – the southernmost and warm-water waters of the Far Eastern seas of Russia. Since 2020, the reserve has been part of the Land of the Leopard National Park.
The world's largest colonies of the black–tailed gull and the Ussuri cormorant are located on small protected islands, the only nesting sites in Russia for the rarest birds for the world's fauna - the yellow-tailed heron and the lesser spoonbill. The main objects of protection of the Far Eastern Marine Reserve include the Far Eastern trepang, Kamchatka crab, giant octopus, larga seal, primorsky scallop, colonies of seabirds. Whales, minke whales, killer whales, and dolphins enter the waters of the reserve. Since 2020, the reserve has been part of the Land of the Leopard National Park.

Sikhote-Alin State Natural Biosphere Reserve is the pride of Primorsky Krai. This is the northernmost of the seaside reserves, the first natural park in the Far East included in the UNESCO World Natural Heritage List. The first in Russia to have passed CA|TS tiger habitat certification.
The reserve is home to 48 species of terrestrial mammals, such as the Amur tiger, goral, spotted deer, brown and Himalayan bears, musk deer and wild boar, raisins and moose. As well as 390 species of birds, 9 species of reptiles, 5 species of amphibians, 32 species of freshwater fish, 1094 species of plants, including 38 rare and endangered (yew, zamanikha, rhododendron Fori, real slipper and others). By visiting the reserve, tourists will be able to learn everything, or almost everything, about the life and habits of wild animals first–hand - from scientists working in the taiga. We are waiting for you at the "land of the tiger"!
