'''Ukok Plateau''' is a remote and pristine [[grasslands]] area located in the heart of southwestern [[Siberia]], the [[Altai Mountains]] region of [[Russia]] near the borders [[China-Russia border|with China]], [[Kazakhstan-Russia border|Kazakhstan]] and [[Mongolia-Russia border|Mongolia]]. The plateau is recognized as part of the [[UNESCO]] [[World Heritage Site]] entitled [[Golden Mountains of Altai]] as an important environmental treasure. It provides a habitat for many of the world's endangered species including one of its least studied predatory animals: the [[snow leopard]]. Other endangered species protected there include the [[Argali|argali mountain sheep]], the [[steppe eagle]], and the [[black stork]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://forests.org/archive/europe/sibsnowl.htm |title=Protect Snow Leopard Habitat / Siberia |publisher=forests.org |accessdate=2007-07-31 |archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20070927210043/http://forests.org/archive/europe/sibsnowl.htm  |archivedate = 2007-09-27}}</ref> Currently the Ukok Plateau is being threatened by plans for a [[Altai gas pipeline|gas pipeline between China and Russia]]. It is also being threatened by a proposal to build a road through it as well as overuse of the [[steppe]] by ranchers.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pacificenvironment.org/article.php?list=type&type=83 |title=Altai: Saving the Pearl of Siberia

==Terminology==
The Mongolian word "uheg" - literally means "elongated cabinet", "box"; "Massive mountain" or big hill with a flat top. According to the oral testimony of S. Umurzakova "Ukok" in Kyrgyz used to refer to flat-topped mountains, ie plateaus.

==Geography==
The Ukok Plateau is the high-mountainous plain located between South-Altai and Sailugem and ridges at a height of {{convert|2200|–|2500|m|abbr=on}} above sea level. There are {{convert|500|-|600|m|abbr=on}} high mountain peaks that tower above the plateau. The highest peak on the plateau is the mountain knot of [[Tavan Bogd|Tavan-Bogdo-Ula]] (Five Sacred Peaks) where the highest mountain is [[Khüiten Peak]] that reaches {{convert|4374|m|abbr=on}} above sea level. This is the second highest peak in Siberia after Belukha Mountain.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ukok Plateau|url=http://www.altaidt.com/guidebook/place/11-ukok-plateau}}</ref> The present-day eastern Altai-Sayan region areas of Ukok-Sailiugem could be considered the closest analogy to the ancient [[mammoth steppe]] environment.<ref>{{cite journal|doi=10.1371/journal.pone.0085056|pmid=24454791|pmc=3890305 |title=Ecological Structure of Recent and Last Glacial Mammalian Faunas in Northern Eurasia: The Case of Altai-Sayan Refugium|journal=PLoS ONE|volume=9|issue=1|pages=e85056|year=2014|last1=Pavelková Řičánková|first1=Věra|last2=Robovský|first2=Jan|last3=Riegert|first3=Jan}}</ref>

==History==
[[Pazyryk culture|Pazyryk]] is the name given by modern scholars to an ancient people who lived in the [[Altai Mountains]] on this plateau who are associated with some spectacular archeological findings, including mummies found frozen in the [[permafrost]]. Many ancient [[Bronze Age]] tomb mounds have been found in the area and have been associated with the [[Pazyryk culture]] which closely resembled that of the legendary [[Scythia]]n people to the west.<ref name="atlas">{{cite book

== Transport ==
[[File:Mountain pass teplyi kljuch august 2012.jpg|thumb|Mountain pass Teplyi kluch, August 2012]]
The Ukok plateau is linked to the outside world by heavy-going dirt roads through the Ukok ([[Kazakhstan–Russia border|Russia-Kazakhstan border]]), Ulan-Daba ([[Mongolia–Russia border|Russia-Mongolia border]]), Teplyi kluch and Kalgutinsky passes. The Teplyi kluch pass is at an altitude of {{convert|2,907|m|abbr=on}}. One may get to these passes from Kosh-Agach village, which is easily reachable owing to a relatively improved [[M52 highway (Russia)|M52 highway]] (the so-called Chuysky tract).

Southward, beyond Kosh-Agach, the way becomes impassable for common means of transport and passable only for [[off-road vehicle]]s. However, even they could become stuck in swamp mud in the Kalguty [[River valleys|river valley]], especially after a sunny day when frozen soil begins thawing. For most of the year the passes are snow-covered and avalanche-prone. During the short summer season all the slopes are prone to [[solifluction]].

'''Katun Nature Reserve''' ({{lang-ru|Катунский заповедник}}) (also '''Katunsky''') is a [[Russia]]n 'zapovednik' (strict nature reserve) located in the highlands of the central [[Altai Mountains]] of south [[Siberia]]. The [[Katun River]] runs down through a valley in the reserve, serving as the primary source of the [[Ob River]]. The headwaters of the Katun River originate on [[Mount Belukha]], the highest mountain in Siberia at {{convert|4506|m|ft}}, which is located on the far eastern edge of the preserve. Katun is an internationally important center of biodiversity, forming part of the "Golden Mountains of Altai" UNESCO World Heritage Site. Katun Nature Reserve is situated in the [[Ust-Koksinsky District]] of [[Altai Republic]].<ref name='reservesite'>{{cite web|title=Katun Zapovednik (Official Site)|url=http://www.katunskiy.ru/|publisher=[[Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (Russia)]]|language=ru|accessdate=January 21, 2016}}</ref><ref name='zapsite'>{{cite web|title=Katun Zapovednik|url=http://www.zapoved.ru/catalog/43/|publisher=[[Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (Russia)]]|language=ru|accessdate=January 21, 2016}}</ref>

==Topography==
The topography of the reserve includes glaciers, alpine tundra, meadows, and forests. Much of the terrain has been formed through glaciation, and there are small lakes, streams, waterfalls, and steep slopes.<ref name='reservesite'/>
[[File:Схема Катунского заповедника.png|thumb|left|260px|Location of Katun Nature Reserve in southwest of [[Altai Republic]] ]]

==Ecoregion and climate==
Katun is located in the '''Altai alpine meadow and tundra''' ecoregion (WWF ID#1001). This ecoregion displays a complete sequence of altitudinal vegetation zones in central Siberia including steppe, forest-steppe, mixed forest, sub-alpine vegetation and alpine vegetation. The region is also an important habitat for endangered the snow leopard and its prey.<ref name='eco1'>{{cite web|title=Altai alpine meadow and tundra|url=http://www.worldwildlife.org/ecoregions/pa1001|publisher=World Wildlife Federation|accessdate=January 23, 2016}}</ref>

The Katun Reserve has an '''[[Alpine climate]]''' ([[Köppen climate classification]] '''[[Tundra#Climatic classification|(ET)]]'''). This indicates a local climate in which at least one month has an average temperature high enough to melt snow (0 °C (32 °F)), but no month with an average temperature in excess of 10 °C (50 °F).<ref name='climatesite'>{{cite web|title=Climate of Katun|url=http://globalspecies.org/weather_stations/climate/533/280|publisher=GloalSpecies.org|accessdate=January 21, 2016}}</ref>

==Flora and fauna==
The reserve features 700 species of plants, 51 mammals, 140 of birds, three types of reptiles and eight fish species. Endangered species include the fawn lily (Erythronium sibericum), peony (Paeonia hybrida), spleenwort (Asplenium exiguum),and, rarely, the snow leopard (Uncia uncia).<ref name='reservesite'/>
[[File:Sunset at Kucherla lake.jpg|thumb|right|360px|Sunset at Kucheria Lake]]

==Ecotourism==
As a strict nature reserve, the Katun Reserve is mostly closed to the general public, although scientists and those with "environmental education" purposes can make arrangements with park management for visits. There are "ecotourist" routes in the reserve, however, that are open to the public, but require permits to be obtained in advance. The main office is in the town of Ust-Cox. Reserve rangers lead ecotourist hikes to Upper Lake Multinskiye, with groups assembling at 11:00 daily in season (July–September). There are other ecoroutes, requiring guides, to the headwaters of the Katun River.<ref name='reservesite'/>

The '''Emblem of the Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic''' was adopted on 2 March 1937 by the government of the [[Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic]]. The coat of arms is based on the coat of arms of the [[Soviet Union]]. It shows symbols of [[agriculture]] ([[cotton]], [[wheat]] and [[grape]]s) and [[heavy industry]] ([[oil derrick]] and [[pipeline transport|pipeline]]), as well as a symbol of the [[Turkmen people]], a [[Turkmen rug|rug]]. The rising [[Sun]] stands for the future of the Turkmen nation, the [[red star]] as well as the [[hammer and sickle]] for the victory of [[Communism]] and the "world-wide socialist community of states".

The banner bears the Soviet Union state motto ("[[Workers of the world, unite!]]") in both the [[Russian language|Russian]] and [[Turkmen language]]s. In Turkmen, it is "'''Әxли юртлариң пролетарлары, бирлешиң!'''" (in the current Turkmen Latin script: "''Ähli ýurtlaryň proletarlary, birleşiň!''").

Later version of the coat of arms had acronym "TSSR" between red star, above, and hammer and sickle, below.<ref>Compare, e.g., ''Herzog H.-U., Wolf F.'' Flaggen und Wappen. Leipzig: VEB Bibliographisches Institut, 1967 — S. 93 and Атлас СССР. М.: ГУГК при СМ СССР, 1988 — ненумерованные страницы после стр. 16</ref>

The emblem was changed in 1992 to the present [[Emblem of Turkmenistan]], which however, retains some of the parts of the Soviet one.
