A method has been developed for creating artificial nesting sites for the Far Eastern turtle during the period of high water content of the Amur River in its breeding areas. The Far Eastern turtle is listed in the Red Books of the Russian Federation and Khabarovsk Krai. Among the factors limiting natural reproduction are high and prolonged floods on the Amur River. Artificially created sites above the zone of coastal flooding by natural waters provide turtles with conditions for successful reproduction.
