The Bikin River Valley was included in the preliminary list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites as early as 2010. But according to the strict rules of UNESCO, the country had to guarantee the long-term preservation of this territory. And only the strict regime of the federal protected areas meets these requirements. The UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Bikin River Valley, is located within the boundaries of the «Bikin” National Park” , a specially protected natural area of federal significance. The federal state budgetary institution “«Bikin” National Park” (hereinafter referred to as the “Bikin” National Park”, FSBI) maintains an array of untouched forests on the western slope of the Sikhote-Alin ridge, where the key habitats of Amur tiger are located. As at December 1, 2019, the total area of the “Bikin River Valley” World Heritage Site and the “Bikin” National Park of specially protected natural area of the federal significance is 1,160,469 ha.

  • 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment
    IUCN World Heritage Outlook: https://worldheritageoutlook.iucn.org/ Central Sikhote-Alin - 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment Central Sikhote-Alin 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment SITE INFORMATION Country: Russian Federation Inscribed in: 2001 Criteria: (x) The Sikhote-Alin mountain range contains one the richest and most unusual temperate forests of the world. In this mixed zone between taiga and subtropics, southern species such as the tiger and Himalayan bear cohabit with northern species such as the brown bear and lynx. The site stretches from the peaks of Sikhote-Alin to the Sea of Japan and is important for the survival of many endangered species such as the Amur tiger. © UNESCO SUMMARY 2020 Conservation Outlook Finalised on 02 Dec 2020 GOOD WITH SOME CONCERNS The overall integrity of the forest ecosystems of the Central Sikhote-Alin World Heritage site appears to be in a good state, however, some concerns still exist. The Amur Tiger population seem stable and recovering after a collapse due to multiple sources of mortality. The site remains under threat from poaching, affecting not only the Amur Tiger population, but also other wildlife. Industrial logging in areas adjacent to the site creates preconditions of direct and indirect threats to property, such as increased fire risks, poaching and interruption of species migration. The extension of the Central Sikhote-Alin with the Bikin National Park in 2018 almost tripled this site by size. Local indigenous people have the right to use natural resources in Bikin National Park for traditional economic activities such as hunting, fishing and collection of non-timber products. A Council of Indigenous Minorities is active within the management authority to ensure the legal rights and interests of local people, which is likely to lead to support for the Park.

  • AHEC E-Newsletter ISSUE No
    2021 Jan-March AHEC e-newsletter ISSUE No. 59 ASIAN BIG CATS On a Mission to Protect China’s Amur Tiger In northeast China lies vast areas of forest that is the home of Amur tigers. We hear an account about what it takes to protect this area, from Liu Duo, an anti-poaching officer with WWF-China. My name is Liu Duo and I’ve grown up on our forest farm since childhood. From a young age I’ve formed deep connections with the mountains and forests here, and now I’m protecting them as a WWF anti-poaching officer. Poaching is a major threat to the survival of Amur tigers and although it’s strictly prohibited by the government, poaching and the illegal wildlife trade still exists. Snares are common and anything trapped in a snare falls victim to their deadly grasp, including tigers. It's hard to stop the poaching but we’re dedicated to our anti-poaching goal which is "zero poaching". "Anti-poaching" means we stand against poaching. WWF and partners support patrol teams in nature reserves to build their capacity and work together towards strengthening joint law enforcement and community anti-poaching groups. This is all so we can offer a safe home for Amur tigers and leopards. Being part of an anti-poaching team is hard work behind the scenes. I often walk many kilometers with other rangers to track tigers and maintain our camera traps. Most of the time I only see the footprints and scat of this amazing animal. We also support nature reserves in other ways such as setting up an Anti-poaching Supervision and Evaluation Mechanism Pilot (SAMAP), introducing new management tools and helping to train rangers.
