Wilderness and WILDForst Brief for Zacharovanyy kray, Ukraine

Zacharovanyy kray National Nature Park, Ukraine, has two Wilderness areas – a Wilderness and a WILDForest area. Today we are releasing two new reports about these areas – ‘Wilderness Briefs’, which detail the region, biodiversity, and tourism opportunities in the Wilderness!

Ancient and Primeval Forest

Both Zacharovanyy kray Wilderness and WILDForest include old-growth beech forests, of the same kind that once covered the majority of the European continent, but are now very rare. Because of this rare forest, the Wilderness is also of high international importance, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site – Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe.
