Nigula Nature Reserve, Protected wetland reserve in Häädemeeste Rural Municipality, Estonia
The Nigula Nature Reserve extends over 63 square kilometers of bogs, mires, and forests, containing diverse habitats for numerous wildlife species.
The Estonian government established Nigula Nature Reserve in 1957, integrating surrounding forests and farmlands into the protected area in 1979.
The Estonian Ornithological Society conducts research programs at Nigula Nature Reserve to monitor and document the populations of migratory birds.
Nature trails throughout the reserve allow visitors to observe wetland ecosystems while maintaining designated paths that protect sensitive habitat areas.
