Kedrovaya Pad (Template:Lang-ru, lit. [Korean] Pine Valley[1]) is a nature reserve (a zapovednik) located on the territory of Khasansky District in southern portion of Primorsky Krai, Russia, between the western coast of the Amur Bay and the Sino-Russian border at the spurs of the Manchurian Mountain Range.
While some kind of nature protection measures had been in effect in the area since 1916,[1], the reserve was officially established in 1925, making it the oldest nature reserve in the Russian Far East.[2] The reserve occupies the area of Template:Km2 to mi2.[2]
The nature of the reserve is unique in a sense that its high biodiversity represents an overlap of southern (subtropical forests) and northern (coniferous-broadleaf forests) species and animals.[3] Some of the species endemic to the area include the Siberian Tiger, Amur Leopard, and Asian Black Bear.[3]
