But most of all pleased by the unique nature, which has no equal anywhere else in the world. No wonder the vast territory of Russia there are many national parks and protected areas. Each of the natural parks – this is a topic for another discussion.
After visits to at least one of them can be considered that you have learned a little more about their homeland. Today we want to talk about the natural Park "Volga-Akhtuba floodplain". Its history began quite recently, but the valley of Mesopotamia worthy of true admiration. The unique nature, diversity, which no longer meet anywhere else, Russian forest and steppe, lakes and swamps. It is worth visiting at least once.
The Beauty of the Volga lands have long been a source of inspiration for poets and artists and an object of envy for the neighboring Nations. Here was established the natural Park "Volga-Akhtuba floodplain". Only relatively recently has begun conversations about how to bring it under the protection of the state. It was an extreme measure to preserve the ecological balance. The flow of tourists, and most importantly, the poachers were stopped, and the representatives of the local flora and fauna had the opportunity to restore their numbers.

The Nature Park "Volga-Akhtuba floodplain" has more than 300 km in length. That is all the space between the two majestic rivers. Its width is about 30 km Akhtuba – a sleeve of Volga. At the narrowest point is crossed by Buzan. He goes to the Delta and there dissolves in countless sleeves, gradually merging with the river. As you can see, the border of the nature Park "Volga-Akhtuba floodplain" is outlined quite clearly, the man didn't even have to make this effort.
To get a little to imagine yourself the size, let's focus on geographic location. Akhtuba and Buzan – the remnants of the ancient riverbed. The soil it forms a "layer cake" of sand and clay. Therefore, it is not always clear shore. Regularly changing, they form a new sleeve and lakes.
Such places on the planet just a few. This is the Mesopotamia of the Euphrates and Tigris, as well as the floodplain of the Ganges and the Indus. Let us now again try to draw the boundaries of the nature Park "Volga-Akhtuba floodplain". The Park starts in the Volgograd region, and ends on the border with Astrakhan. Here the river is divided by the tributaries in this place was built Volzhskaya HPP.
It is best to look at the map, then just be clear about what spaces we're talking about. At the beginning of the valley is very broad as the Volga river changes direction, turning to the Caspian sea. The square delineates the nature Park "Volga-Akhtuba floodplain". Mentally it is difficult to assess the scale we are talking about. This is a huge expanse.
Simply Put, the Park starts just behind the HPP. Beautiful places attract fishermen from all over Russia. Floodplain and today remains a place of spawning of valuable species.
It is Difficult to imagine how big it is. It has everything you want. It's blue lakes and streams, oak groves and meadows. On our planet there is no similar area. The area of the nature Park "Volga-Akhtuba floodplain" - 154 thousand hectares of Stunning spaces populated by the unique living creatures. In the last decades of the 20th century the ecological balance in the floodplain, which evolved over the centuries, has been violated. Given the value of the object, it was decided to create the natural Park "Volga-Akhtuba floodplain". The company was founded 7 Dec 2001. This was due to the desire to ensure the preservation of nature at the legislative level.
A Large number of fish attracts not only people. The beautiful backwaters are a haven for many different birds. This permanent inhabitants of these places, and for their tranquillity, including the territory was deemed protected. The Park is rich in natural meadows and oak forests, which have become a haven for hundreds of species of animals. But the most charming can be considered as the lake of lotuses. It is relatively small, and from August to September on large sheets of lilies blooming fantastic.
And that's no exaggeration. Preserving this unique piece of nature, we will give the right to the lives of hundreds, if not thousands of species. That's why it was decided to organize a natural Park "Volga-Akhtuba floodplain". The story of creation began in the 90s of the last century, when humanity faced the problem of sharp reduction of a livestock of valuable fish. However, the difficult period in Russian history, prevented to come to grips with environmental events.
Close to this issue came up in 1999. At the government meeting a question was raised about what to preserve the unique of the object protected by the state nature Park "Volga-Akhtuba floodplain". The creation of this "oasis of life” helped to preserve the last stretch of the valley of the Volga as nature intended.
We have already considered step-by-step how to create the natural Park "Volga-Akhtuba floodplain". History allows you to see how unique natural object began savagely destroyed. To prevent such a development was impossible, since the whole area is a huge floodplain regulator of atmospheric composition.
But this is only one reason. The Park includes objects of historical and cultural heritage. Here is a unique sanctuary. Below we will give him special attention. Today tourism in these places is actively developing. It is necessary to attract the attention of people to problems of preservation of natural and historical values.
This is the main document which defines all the goals and tasks pursued by the founders of the reserve. First and foremost they relate to the activities of the Directorate of the Park. The activities of employees aimed at:
The Position of the nature Park "Volga-Akhtuba floodplain" describes all the functional zones with different protection regimes. All three of them, below, we will have to talk about them. The essence is that part of the land should be completely closed to tourists. Where the ecological balance is cleared, we can arrange group visits and camping trips, but with serious limitations.
If you are attracted by the beauty of Russian nature, the ideal place will be Volgograd oblast. Nature Park "Volga-Akhtuba floodplain" today is partly closed for the movement of tourists. On especially protected territory of any presence of people, except Park staff. The second zone is the most extensive, it is designed for regulated recreation. On its territory it is prohibited to travel by mechanized vehicles, the unit of observation decks and fires. The length of stay, picking berries and mushrooms, medicinal herbs, all negotiated in advance.
