The Natural park «Kondinskie lakes» named after L.F. Stashkevich was established in 1998 for sustainable management and research of rare ecosystems of the three unique lakes (Arantur, Pontur, Rangetur) and nearby areas with their historical and archeological sites. The surface area of the park is 43900 hа. The territory of the Park is located in the middle taiga subzone. It is located on the left bank of the river Konda, South from the reserve “Malaya Sosva” (Small Sosva). The vegetation cover is represented by forest, marsh and meadow types of vegetation. The core of the park is a system of lakes located along the left coast of the river Konda, including the lakes Arantur, Pontur, Rangetur and some smaller ones. There are also rivers, brooks and oxbow lakes. The three large lakes, Lake Arantur, Pontur and Rangetur are bordered by sandy soil uplands covered by pine forests – with lichens, greenmoss and Vaccinium in the forest floor. Prominent features of the natural park Kondinsky Lakes is the presents of large floating bogs (quagmires), transitional bogs and periodically flooded marshes. These mires together with sedge meadows, willow thickets and paludified small forest gave the park a very high biodiversity, being inhabited by many rare kinds of birds, vascular plants and mosses.
