The Day of Nature Reserves and National Parks of Russia has been celebrated in our country annually on January 11 since 1997.

The date is timed to coincide with the date of the formation of the first reserve in Russia, the Barguzinsky Reserve — January 11, 1917.

Nature reserves and national parks are specially protected natural areas — today, perhaps, the only way to save at least a small part of the wildlife and wildlife from death.

In Russia, the formation and activities of protected areas are regulated by the Federal Law of March 14, 1995 "On Specially Protected Natural Territories", according to which protected areas are areas of land, water surface and airspace above them, where natural complexes and objects of special environmental, scientific, cultural, aesthetic, recreational and recreational significance are located. which have been withdrawn from economic use in whole or in part by decisions of state authorities and for which a special protection regime has been established. Specially protected natural territories belong to the objects of national heritage.
