The main characteristics of these new reserves is reviewed, with special attention given to the adequacy of their location vis-a-vis natural zones and endangered species distribution in Russia. The main spatial, fiscal, and biotic trends characterizing Russian zapovedniki in the 1990s are noted, and recent initiatives to cope with a variety of problems currently besetting the system are critically reviewed.
