Russia's oldest national park in the Western Caucasus

Sochi National Park

Sochi National Park is Russia's oldest national park, established on May 5, 1983. Located in the Western Caucasus region near the city of Sochi in southern Russia, the park encompasses a dramatic landscape where the Greater Caucasus mountain range descends steeply toward the Black Sea. The protected area covers approximately 193,737 hectares of mountainous terrain, coastal foothills, and river valleys within the UNESCO-listed Western Caucasus World Heritage Site. The park serves as a critical corridor for biodiversity in the Caucasus region, protecting ecosystems that range from subtropical coastal forests at sea level to subalpine meadows in the higher elevations. Sochi National Park also plays a key role in conservation programs for endangered species, particularly the Persian leopard reintroduction effort that has brought international attention to the park's conservation mission.
