NEW! The Amur-Heilong River Basin Report

This comprehensive report is a wealth of information on this extraordinary and biodiverse region. Did you know that:

  • One of the ten largest rivers in the world, the Amur-Heilong River separates the Russian Far East from China's eastern Heilongjiang province.

  • European world maps use the name Amur, whereas China uses the name Heilongjiang, or "Black Dragon River", for the same river.

  • The Amur is the only river in Siberia which runs not from south to north, but from west to east.
Download the report (PDF, 15.31MB) to learn more about the river and WWF's work to save this amazing place.
