The activities of the State Nature Sanctuary “Ashit” cover the area of 2700 hectares of the Atninsky Municipal District of Tatarstan and 8 natural monuments on the territory of the Arsky District with a total area of 1233 hectares. Despite the weather, the inspectors exercise the regional state supervision in the field of protection and use of the specially protected natural reservations; during raids the violations of sanctuary routine are repressed.
In winter, the regular supervision over the oxygen content in water, without which fish and other living organisms cannot live, is required. The sanctuary specialists take measures to prevent fish kill on the lakes in the floodplain of the Ashit River, equip the ice-holes and regularly clean the snow from the ice surface of water bodies.
