Codri, Protected forest reserve in central Moldova
The Codri reserve spans 5200 hectares of hills with elevations reaching 380 meters, containing deep valleys and numerous forest species.
Established in 1971 as Moldova's first scientific reservation, Codri preserves the remnants of extensive forests that covered the region during medieval times.
The Nature Museum within the reserve displays specimens of Moldova's wildlife, including mounted animals, reptiles, birds, and insect collections.
The reserve contains three functional zones: a 720-hectare strictly protected core, a 4357-hectare buffer zone, and a surrounding transitional area.
Codri hosts 52 mammal species, including the last remaining population of forest martens in Moldova and rare forest cats listed in international conservation records.
