About the park
From the Black Sea coast, Sochi National Park rises inland to the watershed of the Main Caucasus Range. A narrow belt of foothills follows the coast, while most of the park is mountainous, with river valleys dividing the uplands. Around 40 rivers and streams of the Black Sea basin flow through the park, whose climate is subtropical. At its north-western end, the park lies between the mouths of the Shepsi and Magri rivers; to the south-east, it reaches the border with Abkhazia.

Established on 5 May 1983 to protect the natural environments of the Caucasus Black Sea coast, Sochi National Park was among Russia’s first national parks. Since 2009, the U. A. Semenov Caucasus Leopard Recovery Centre in the park has run a programme to restore the Persian leopard population in the wild.
Birds recorded nearby include the great tit, common chaffinch, Eurasian blackbird, European robin and Eurasian jay.
