Kedrovaya Pad Nature Reserve

Russia · built 1916

Kedrovaya Pad (́, lit. Korean Pine Valley) is a nature reserve (gosudarstvenny prirodny biosferny zapovednik) on the territory of Khasansky District in the south of Primorsky Krai, Russia. As of 2011, it occupies an area of 178.97 square kilometers (69.10 sq mi), about one thousandth of the total area of Primorsky Krai. In March 2019, a wounded and emaciated leopard was found on the territory of Primorsky Krai, near the Kedrovaya Pad Nature Reserve. It was not possible to return him to the wild due to the consequences of his wounds. Veterinarians claimed that the beast was badly damaged from a hard fight with a fellow tribesman. Svetlana Radionova became the keeper of the leopard. The beast was named Elbrus in honor of the highest mountain in Russia.
