The Virgin Komi Forests is a large woodland in the northern part of the Ural mountain range, in Russia. The forests are part of the Komi Republic of Russia. The forests cover an area of 32,800 square kilometres (12,700 sq mi) and are the largest virgin forests in Europe.
They were made a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1995. Most of the area is flat Taiga plain, about 100 metres (330 ft) above sea level. They rise towards the Ural mountains.
They are threatened because parts of the area contain a lot of gold. Illegal logging is also a threat.
