Brest Region, Administrative region in southwestern Belarus.
The Brest Region extends across 32,800 square kilometers of territory, containing 16 districts, 20 cities, and numerous rural settlements along the Polish and Ukrainian borders.
The territory shifted between different states until 1939, when it became part of the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic after belonging to the Second Polish Republic.
The population of 1.3 million people includes Belarusians, Russians, Ukrainians, and Poles, who maintain their languages and traditions within the region.
The region maintains strong agricultural production, generating substantial quantities of meat, milk, and eggs while operating numerous food processing facilities across its territory.
The Belovezhskaya Pushcha National Park occupies 2.7 percent of the region's area, preserving ancient forest ecosystems alongside 17 additional wildlife preserves.
