The Russian Government signed the decree creating Yugyd Va National Park on the 23rd of April 1994. This action aimed to protect taiga forests while allowing for recreational use of the land.
UNESCO recognized the forest area as a World Heritage Site under the name Virgin Komi Forests in 1995. The designation included both the new park and the nearby Pechora-Ilych Nature Reserve.
Yugyd Va National Park sits on the western slopes of the Polar Urals and Northern Ural mountains. It straddles the border between Europe and Asia along the main ridge of the range.
Eighteen bird species inhabit the region including several quite rare varieties. Twenty fish species live in the rivers and lakes that flow through the terrain alongside five amphibian species and one reptile species.
Park expenses reach approximately 5 million roubles or US$200,000 per year leaving a significant financial gap. User fees generate some 2.4 million roubles annually which equals roughly US$100,000.
