The landscape already supports a range of keystone species including Brown Bears, Lynx, Golden Eagles and the elusive Snow Leopard. The project will protect and expand the habitat available to these animals while sequestering carbon.
The project will also reintroduce the native Siberian Tiger, creating the region’s most well protected reserve in the process.
