Hello, my name's Maxim and today I want to tell you about Tunguska reserve.
What would happen if 2000 nuclear bombs, about that, what dropped on Hiroshima in 1945, will detonated on one place?
It was 1908, the calendar was June 30, and the clock was 07:18. The morning between the Podkamennaya Tunguska and its right tributary Chuni was disturbed by a fireball that rushed 70 km. northwest of Vanavara village and incredibly frightening local residents. Taiga forests were burned a radius of 40 kilometers, animals died, people suffered.
the state natural reserve "Tunguska" was formed only on October 9, 1995 in order to protect the territory from anthropogenic influences. The total area of the reserve, 296,562 hectares, is divided into two parts. The first one (215 thousand hectares) took over the shock wave, radiation and forest fire in 1908, the environmental consequences of the explosion are being studied here. The place of the fall of the Tunguska meteorite is the only one on earth that allows tracing the consequences of cosmic catastrophes.
Territory divided into 3 parts, and every where it's got "rangers".
In Podkamennaya Tunguska there are about 30 species of fish, including sturgeon, salmon, whitefish. On the territory of the reserve you can find predators - sable, brown bear, wolverine. Elk, wild reindeer and musk deer also live here. The bird world is rich in wetland representatives.about 70% of the territory is occupied by mixed forests, the land is swampy.Time has turned the affected area into bright green fields.
Tunguska Nature Reserve is open to tourists.
Thanks...
