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