Kedrovaya Pad (Template:Lang-ru, lit. [Korean] Pine Valley[1]) is a nature reserve (a gosudarstvenny prirodny biosferny zapovednik) located on the territory of Khasansky District in the 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] As of 2011, the reserve occupies an area of 178.97 square kilometers (69.10 sq mi), about one thousandth of the total area of Primorsky Krai.
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]
