Altai is a remarkable mountain country, which is rich of peculiar, sometime harsh amenities of its nature, presenting contrasts of its different parts. In 1998, Altai was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List of cultural and natural properties as representing an important and original centre of biodiversity of mountain plants and animal species in northern Asia, a number of which are rare and endemic. UNESCO List inscribes five natural complexes of Mountainous Altai: Altaisky and Katunsky Reserves, Lake Teletskoye, Mount Belukha and Ukok plateau (http://whc.unesco.org/sites/768.htm).
