Bikin National Park

Bikin was established in 2015 and covers almost forty five hundred square miles. The park lies throughout the mountainous landscape of Primorsky Krai. Two main rivers run through the park: the Ussuri and Bikin River. The climate has very seasonal weather with hot and wet summers and cold winters. It is still being developed to help protect the vast and immaculate forests. Hundreds of species inhabit the forests, including moose, wild boar, Amur tigers, mink, and Himalayan bears. The main reason this park was created was to help preserve the untouched Ussuri taiga and to protect the world’s largest cat, the Amur (Siberian) tiger. About thirty tigers call the park their home, but numbers are slowly rising.
