The Altai Mountains in southern Siberia are the main mountain range of the Western Siberian biogeographic region and the source of the region's largest rivers, the Ob and Irtysh. The region is divided into three separate areas: the buffer zone around the Altai Mountains and Lake Teletskoye; the buffer zone around the Katun Mountains and Mount Belukha; and the Ukok Quiet Zone on the Ukok Plateau. The total area is 1,611,457 hectares. The region represents the most complete sequence of high-altitude vegetation zones in central Siberia, including steppe, forest-steppe, mixed forest, subalpine vegetation, and alpine vegetation. The area is also an important habitat for endangered animal species such as the snow leopard.
