Davsha Ghost Town, Buryatia, Russia
Russia first Nature reserve created in 1916 by Czar Nicholas 11. Once East Siberia’s home to trappers and explorers is today an abandoned Ghost Town.
The small dark-furred sable that drew trappers to settle the unfriendly territory of Siberia was endangered by the 20th century, so in 1916 Czar Nicholas II set up Russia’s first nature reserve and a village to manage it.
