Zakaznik (Russian: зака́зник, зака́зники, transliterated: zakaznik, zakazniki; Ukrainian: singular: заказни́к or зака́зник; plural: заказники́ or зака́зники, transliterated: zakaznyk, zakaznyky; Belarusian: заказнік, заказнікі, transliterated: zakaznik, zakazniki) is a type of protected area in former Soviet republics such as Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine[1] that meets World Conservation Union's (IUCN) category IV, or more frequently category VI criteria.
[citation needed] Many zakazniks have traditionally been managed as game reserves.
Some protect complex ecosystems, colonies of birds, or populations of rare plants.
Zakazniks are the areas where temporary or permanent limitations are placed upon certain on-site economic activities, such as logging, mining, grazing, hunting, etc.
