In 1998, by the decision of UNESCO, this territory at the junction of Central Asia and Siberia was declared an object of the World Heritage.
In this region there are Altai State Natural Biosphere Reserve and the buffer zone of Teletsk Lake, Katunsky State Natural Biosphere Reserve, Natural Park "Cocke" and Beluha Natural Park. The total area of \u200b\u200bthe protected area is 1.64 million hectares.
Landscapes, Flora and Fauna Altai
The geological history of the region, represented by rocks of different periods of land formation, was reflected in the unusual form of the relief of these places.
It is both the high terraces of Katun, striking by their greatness, and the highest peak of Siberia Belukha (4506 m above sea level), topped with glaciers and snowballs, and deep narrow canyons of Altai rivers.
There are few places in the world with the same contrasting combinations of various landscapes on such a small space. Here are all natural zones of Central Asia: deserts, steppes, forest-steppe, mixed forests, mountain darkened taiga, subalpine and alpine meadows. On the territory of the plateau of ocke, a tundrov-steppe landscape with rare plants and mshami was formed, many of which were listed in the Red Book of Russia.
Separate attention deserves the unique fauna of Altai: 70 species of mammals, over 300 species of feathered, including such rare birds, such as Altai Ular, Black Stork, Sapsan, Berkut, Borodach, Orlans (Belochvost and long-standing), Baloban, Eagle-burial ground, Skop. Among 20 species of fish - Harius, Taimen, Lenok, Osman.
The diverse landscape of the Golden Altai Mountains has contributed to the emergence and preservation of endemics (plants and animals common only in certain territories). Among the rare mammals - Irbis, or Snow Bars, and the Altai Mountain Baran Argali.
Uniquely and Teletsk Lake - the largest lake of Altai and one of the largest lakes of Russia, he is called the younger brother of Baikal. The maximum depth of the lake is about 330 m, there are more than 70 rivers and streams in it, and only one river flows up. According to the old legend, in ancient times in Altai was hunger. One Altais, who had a big goldst ingot, wanted to exchange it on food, but, by going around the Altai, and could not buy anything. The annoyed and hungry "rich" poor man threw his ingot into the lake and died himself in his waves. Since then, in the language of Altaians, the lake is called Altyn-Kohl - "Golden Lake".
History of Altai
Not only nature is interesting, but also the history of these places. It is believed that the first settlements appeared here almost a million years ago. The best archaeologists have studied the valley of the Katun River. The monuments of all epochs were found here - from Paleolithic parking of an ancient person to the ethnographic burial of the Altaians, and the Scythians who lived here left behind the stone pillars of mengirs, numerous petroglyphs, decorations and weapons.
In 1993, a plateau of ocke, located at an altitude of about 3 km above sea level and has long been considered a sacred territory, found a mummy of the girl, called the "Altai Princess". The burial chamber discovered six horses under the saddles and with a dressing, as well as a wooden deck of larch, capened by bronze nails. According to Chinese mythology, such horses were called Cylin (heavenly) and had to be associated with the transcendent altitudes. The burial turned out to be in an ice lens, so well preserved.
In August 2014, the Council of Elders of the Republic of Altai decided to get buried Mumia. Many residents of the republic considered it from the Kurgan caused by natural disasters, which collapsed on the mountain altai in recent years, including strong floods. Currently, the remains of "Princesses" are in a special sarcophage with climate control, in the National Republican Museum named after A.V. Anokhina. So far, the decision is not fulfilled, since the study of mummy is of great interest to science.
The uniqueness of Altai in geological, geographical, cultural treatment makes scientists of the whole world seek to expand the protected area. In the near future, the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site "Golden Altai Mountains" can be international, expanding to neighboring countries - China, Mongolia and Kazakhstan.
