From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Yamal–Gydan tundra ecoregion (WWF ID: PA1114, also known as "Yamalagydanskaja tundra") sprawls across the expansive Yamal Peninsula and Gydan Peninsula in the northern expanse of Russia. This unique ecoregion is characterized by its sparsely populated vegetation and wildlife, yet it holds great significance as a vital haven for migratory birds and coastal sea mammals. Embraced by the Palearctic realm and firmly entrenched in the tundra biome, it boasts an extensive area, covering approximately 412,067 square kilometers (159,100 square miles).[1][2]
