The Nizhnesvirsky Nature Reserve (Russian: Нижнесвирский заповедник, lit. Lower Svir Zapovednik) is a 416 km² (131 sq mi) zapovednik in Leningrad Oblast, Russia, established in 1980. It occupies lowlands on the right bank of the lower Svir River, including a portion of the eastern shore of Lake Ladoga and its waters. The zapovednik's northern border coincides with the border of the Republic of Karelia. It is an important stopover location for migratory birds.[1] The zapovednik has a humid continental climate (Köppen's Dfb). The predominant tree species is Scots Pine.
