Reserves of the Republic of Bashkortostan

preserved in its natural state, is completely excluded from economic

activities. There are three reserves in Bashkortostan: • Shulgan-Tash Nature Reserve • Bashkirian State Nature Reserve • South Ural State Nature Reserve The total area of Bashkortostan's reserves alone is 327.1 thousand hectares. This is approximately 40% of the area of all specially protected natural areas. The most favorable conditions for the protection and scientific study of forests in Bashkortostan have been established in the state reserves of the republic. These reserves are not only republican, but also all-Russian and even world-wide. It should be specially noted that our reserves are geographically located at the junction of 2 parts of the world: Europe and Asia, and therefore they have very interesting floristic and faunal complexes.

has a federal status. It is located in the western

foothills of the Southern Urals, in the mountain-forest belt, within the Burzyan district. The total area is 22,531 hectares, or 225 square meters. Km.
The name comes from the Bashkir words "Shulgan" ("dropped", "failed", "disappeared") and "Tash" ("stone").

Burzyan region of the Republic of Bashkortostan, on the spurs

of the Southern Urals. The reserve was organized on July 11, 1930.
In 1951, by decision of the Council of Ministers of the Bashkir ASSR, the reserve was liquidated, and a leshoz was organized on its territory: intensive exploitation of the forest began.
Only in November 1958 the first reserve of Bashkortostan was restored . Until 1986, the reserve consisted of 3 sites: Ural-Tau, South Krak and Pribelsky.
The reserve was created to protect the intact ecosystems of the mountainous Ural region, primarily undisturbed forests. The main direction of scientific research of the reserve is a comprehensive study of natural ecosystems of the western slopes of the Southern Urals. About 700 species of herbaceous, shrubby and woody plants grow in the reserve; There are 51 species of mammals and 155 species of birds, 27 species of fish, 4 - amphibians, 6 - reptiles. In the forests of the reserve there is still a wild Bashkir beekeeper bee

in part, the Chelyabinsk Region.
Заповедник образован Постановлением ЦК КПСС и Совета Министров СССР № 487—152 от 19 июня 1978 г. для охраны и изучения горно-таежных экосистем Южного Урала. Заповедник расположен в центральной, наиболее высокой части Южного Урала на территории Республики Башкортостан и Челябинской области. Общая площадь 252,8 тыс. га.
На территории заповедника расположены несколько горных хребтов — Машак, Зигальга, Нары, Кумардак и Ямантау. Гора Большой Ямантау, имеющая высоту 1640 м, является самой высокой горой Южного Урала.
Реки — Большой Инзер, Малый Инзер, Тюльма, Юрюзань.
Доступ на территорию заповедника ограничен. Есть предположения что заповедник был основан в целях ограничения доступа к секретным объектам, расположенным в ЗАТО городе Межгорье и на прилегающей территории.

left bank of the river Juruzan. Zigalga is one of

the most powerful and extended ridges of the Southern Urals. Refers to the central Taganay-Yamantau belt. The Zigalginsky suite is named on the ridge.
The most significant peaks, from the south to the north: the highest point of Zigalga and the third highest in the Southern Urals - Bolshoe Shelom (1427 m.), Third Shelom (1293), Merslah Utes (Mörzlaya) (1237), Transverse (1389), Eulactus 1310).

mountain massif in Bashkortostan. It stretches to the northwest, width

- 3 km, length - 5 km. The main peaks are Bolshoy Yamantau (1640 m) and Maly Yamantau (1510 m). The peak of the "Big Yamantau" is the highest point of the Southern Urals. Located in the territory of the South Ural Reserve, it is located in the Beloretsk District of Bashkortostan. Bashkirs often invested an applied meaning in the name of geographical objects. The name "wicked mountain" probably came into use, as the slopes of the mountain massif are swamped and flooded with a kurumnik, which did not allow grazing cattle. Also there exist the beliefs of local Bashkirs that horses died during the campaign to this mountain, and on the slopes of the mountain there were many bears.

tributary of the Sim river (Kama basin). It starts from

the merger of the Big and Small Inzers. The last few years, the river has become increasingly shallow. There is a quarry adjacent to the river, where there is an active industrial extraction of stones and gravel. On the banks of grazing cattle - cows, bulls, horses, sheep. Near the roads there are uncovered congresses where people wash their cars constantly, polluting the river.

The Weeping Stone is composed of carbonate rocks, abundantly overgrown with moss, there are trees. The waterfall is on its southern side, which descends steeply to Inzeru. From the back, the northern part, the mountain canopy and covered with steppe vegetation.

a waterfall in the Southern Urals, in the Arkhangelsk region

of the Republic of Bashkortostan. The waterfall is the exit from the grotto of Atish on the surface of the underground river, also called Atish. The grotto itself (the same Atysh cave) is located in the mountain Yash-Kuz-tash. The age of the waterfall is very large. The mountain, where the waterfall Atysh is located, is composed of limestone with an age of 570 million years. Waters of the rivers Agui and Atysh protruded limestone in the upper part of the mountain, and passed down to the southern slope of the mountain, which forms the indigenous shore of the river valley of the river Lemesa.
At present, the waterfall Atysh is one of the most popular places for connoisseurs of Bashkir natural beauties. In this connection, there was a very unsightly ecological situation around the waterfall. Piles of rubbish are visible everywhere, including across the waterfall itself.

region is located one of the oldest in our country.

It was created in 1920 by decree of Lenin. Even then, in the country destroyed by the long civil war, the question of protecting these unique places was acute. Currently, the reserve occupies 34 place among other nature protection complexes.
Despite the fact that the territory of the reserve is only slightly more than 34 thousand hectares, there are deep-sea lakes of the Southern Urals: Savelkul, Baraus, Bolshoy Ishkul, Big and Small Kisegachi, Terenkul and others. The water of these lakes is characterized by cleanliness and a special mineral composition.
Almost the whole territory of the Ilmen Reserve is forests with the richest vegetation, the distinctive feature of which is its mosaic. Here pine forests are mixed with birch forests, oak forests with small glades. Uniform forest in the reserve you will not meet, and this is its peculiarity.
Animal world of the reserve is typical for the Southern Urals. Most species are listed in the Red Book of the country and are protected at the federal level. Here, spotted deer and beaver, moose and roe deer, fox and wolf, marten and lynx feel great here.
