Oberlausitzer Heide - und Teichlandschaft Biosphere Reserve
Oberlausitzer Heide - und Teichlandschaft Biosphere Reserve, Biosphere reserve in eastern Saxony, Germany.
The reserve spans across eleven municipalities, featuring a network of ponds, wetlands, heathlands, and forested areas covering diverse ecological zones.
The territory received UNESCO Biosphere Reserve designation in September 1998 to protect its landscapes from agricultural expansion and preserve natural resources.
Local communities maintain traditional fishing practices in the numerous ponds while participating in conservation efforts through sustainable resource management.

The reserve contains extensive pond systems that support various bird species during migration periods, making it a central point for ecological research.
