Carpathian Biosphere Reserve

Description

In 1968, with the aim to preserve the unique mountain landscapes, the Ukrainian government has adopted the Resolution on the formation of the Carpathian reserve, with the area of 12,6 th. ha. Within 50 years of its functioning, the territory of the reserve has been changed several times. From 1992 became a part of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves of UNESCO. The Carpathian biosphere reserve (CBR), with the total area of 58035 ha, consists of six detached massifs, botanical preserves “Chorna Hora” and “Yulivska Hora”. The protected massifs are located at an altitude of 180 - 2061 m.a.s.l. in the central and eastern sectors of the Ukrainian Carpathians. Such territorial structure of the CBR represents nearly the whole landscape and biogeographical diversity of the Eastern Carpathians. Almost 90% of the whole reserve’s territory are covered with forests - mainly virgin forests.
