Endangered flora and fauna in the Georgian Red List will be better safeguarded by a planned creation of a new nature reserve adjacent to the Mariamjvari protected territories in Georgia's east.
A 5,000 square hectare space will join the territories as the Tsiv-Gombori Reserve, in a move to protect the brown bears and red deer native to the areas, in addition to safeguarding highland oak and evergreen conifer trees.
The Agency of Protected Areas of Georgia said the area had "significant recreational value and eco-tourist potential", and would enable visitors to discover historical and cultural monuments as well as have access to other destinations in case of infrastructural development.
