Nenets Nature Reserve

Strict nature reserve in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia

Nenets Nature Reserve (Russian: Ненецкий заповедник) (also Nenetsky) is a Russian 'zapovednik' (strict nature reserve) in the northeast of European Russia on the coast of the Barents Sea and the delta of the Pechora River, about 800 km northeast of Arkhangelsk. With abundant wetlands, rivers, and sea islands, the reserve is an important point on the Atlantic migratory path for birds that winter in Western Europe and nest in the Eastern Europe and Western Siberian Tundra. Also present are large breeding grounds for the Atlantic Walrus.
