🎧 Listen to Introduction
The Western Caucasus, located in the westernmost part of the Caucasus Mountains, covers an area of more than 275,000 hectares, 50 km northeast of the Black Sea, and is one of the few large mountainous areas in Europe that has not been seriously affected by humans. Its subalpine and alpine pastures are only grazed by wild animals, and its large areas of undisturbed mountain forests extend from the lowlands to the subalpine zone, which are unique in Europe. The region has extremely diverse ecosystems, important endemic plants and wildlife, and is the origin and reintroduction site of the mountain subspecies of European bison.
