The article presents data on the fauna of ground beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) in the northwestern part of the Green Belt of Fennoscandia. The material was collect-ed in the Pasvik Strict Nature Reserve, in the territory of the planned regional Pazovsky Nature Reserve and in the Korablekk Nature Park. Some data were obtained from the vi-cinity of Nikel, Zapolyarny and Pechenga urban areas. Beetles were collected by soil traps in 2007 and 2010–2012 in communities of different types. Additionally, manual collec-tion was used. A total of 3607 imago ground beetles were collected during the surveys.
