Summary

Introduction and purpose

In 1914-1916 took place the great Sayan expedition to study the sable trade under the command of zoologist and hunting expert D.K. Solovyov. The participants of this expedition made many extremely interesting routes in the central, most inaccessible part of Sayan - along the sources of the rivers Kazyr, Kizir, Kan. At the beginning of the 20th century in Russia there was a sharp decline in the sable population. The Barguzinsky district was chosen to organize such reserves as the habitat of the most valuable sable; Minusinsk, Kansky and Nizhneudinsky districts of the Yenisei province ”: as areas where sable trade is of the greatest importance for the local population. In 1915, by the decree of the Irkutsk Governor-General, the territory projected for the Sayan Reserve was removed from hunting territory. Our beautiful and interesting places have all the possibilities to attract tourists ”
