The Tumninsky reserve was established in 1987 with the aim of preserving and restoring valuable, rare and endangered species of animals and their habitats. It is located in the Tumnin River basin along its left bank, from the mouth of the Abua River in the north, to the mouth of the Honolik River in the south. The eastern border is along the coast of the Tatar Strait from Cape Aukan in the north, to the mouth of the Chumka River in the south. Relief of the reserve is mountainous. From the north to the south the Primorsky Range lies. The highest point is Mount Bekaya (899 m above sea level). The climate is monsoon. Various associations of larch forests predominate in the vegetation cover of the reserve, fir forests are confined to the stream valleys, the Tumnin River over-flooded terraces, intermountain depressions. The territory of the reserve has been little studied in floristic respect, there are no herbarium collections. The basis of the animal world is made up of representatives of the Okhotsk-Kamchatka fauna.
