Primorsky Territory is located in the southern part of the Russian Far East, at the edge of the Eurasian continent. It is bordered by the East Sea of Korea/Sea of Japan, China, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Most of Primorsky Territory is mountainous, with the 2,000 km long Sikhote-Alin mountain range occupying most of the eastern part. Nearly 75% of the 165,900 km² area is forested. The climate - with short, cold and sunny winters and rainy and cloudy summers - has given Primorsky the richest biodiversity in the Russian Federation.
