SayanBaikal is a term that can refer to several related concepts, primarily associated with the Sayan Mountains and Lake Baikal in Siberia, Russia. The Sayan Mountains are a mountain range in Siberia and Mongolia, forming a natural boundary between Russia and Mongolia.

This region is characterized by its immense natural beauty, including vast forests, alpine meadows, and the unique aquatic environment of Lake Baikal. It is also an area of cultural significance, inhabited by various indigenous peoples with distinct traditions and histories.

In some contexts, SayanBaikal could also refer to specific projects, organizations, or research initiatives focused on the environment, conservation, or socio-economic development within this interconnected geographical area. These endeavors often aim to study, protect, and sustainably manage the natural and cultural heritage of the Sayan and Baikal regions. The area presents both opportunities and challenges related to tourism, resource extraction, and climate change.
