Quite a number of books have been published about the zapovedniks of Russia (which are strictly protected State nature reserves) but so far most of those books have been scientific. There are very few colourful popular publications, which can be readily understood by a broad readership. The creators of this book have worked hard to make their contribution to fill this gap. The easy, narrative text immerses readers into the world of preserved nature, giving the feeling that they are traveling within those beautiful areas. At the same time one can get to know the history of the zapovedniks, which was often difficult and dramatic. However, it is not enough to merely read about nature. It is also essential for understanding to see that nature. The wonderful photographs of landscape and wildlife, taken by our leading nature photographers, also form a significant and exciting part of this book. The authors and publishers of this book believe that when readers see and understand the beauty of our Russian Nature Reserves - their forests, mountains and tundra; their steppe lands and coastlines - they will feel at one with nature. Realizing its riches, they will want to make their own contribution to the good cause of nature conservation.

The name «The Central Asian Switzerland» is by right applied to Kyrgyzstan owing to the fascinating mountain landscapes, impetuous rivers and emerald lakes. Deserts and steppes encircle the snow-capped tops of the Tien-Shan, the slopes of which abound in wild flowers and grasses. The wesome mountain tops and magnificent alpine meadows, since time immemorial, have been called The Tien-Shan – the Celestial Mountains. «The Celestial Mountains» still keep their secrets in the entrails of barrows and under the waters of the blue lake Issyk-Kul. The number of pictures presented in this publication do not represent the complete image of Kyrgyzstan. The wonders of nature and the unknown pages of its history still wait for discoverers and explorers.
