Udegeyskaya Legenda National Park (Russian: Удэгейская легенда, which translates as Udege Legend) covers the richest coniferous-deciduous forest on the western slope of the Central Sikhote-Alin mountains of the Russian Far East.[1] The Sikhote-Alin is a range that runs north-south through Primorsky Krai (in English, "Maritime Region"). The park is designed to protect west-slope river valley habitat, and to support the remnant of the indigenous Udege people. The area is known for abundant fishing and boating on the streams and rivers. It is also a refuge for the endangered Amur tiger. The park is roughly midway between the city of Vladivostok (520 km to the southwest), and Khabarovsk (440 km to the northwest). The relatively warm waters of the Sea of Japan are to the east, the Korean peninsula to the south, and China to the West.[2]
