The his­to­ry of the spe­cial­ly pro­tect­ed nat­ur­al area in the Tunk­in­sky dis­trict begins in 1957. Then the exec­u­tive com­mit­tee of the Tunk­in­sky aimag coun­cil orga­nized a reserve with an area of 60 thou­sand hectares on the ter­ri­to­ry of the Tunk­in­sky aimak to pre­serve and increase the num­ber of valu­able game ani­mals, ani­mals and birds. All hunt­ing, log­ging and cedar nut col­lec­tion were pro­hib­it­ed on the ter­ri­to­ry of the reserve for a peri­od of 3 years.
