Yelnya Reserve, Landscape reserve in Vitebsk Region, Belarus.
The Yelnya Reserve extends across 253 square kilometers of wetlands, representing the largest swamp ecosystem in Belarus with diverse plant communities.
The establishment of Yelnya Reserve in 1968 marked a crucial step in protecting Belarus wetlands, leading to its designation as a Ramsar site in 2002.
Belarusian environmental scientists regularly conduct research programs in Yelnya Reserve to monitor bird migrations and document changes in plant populations.
Visitors can access the reserve through designated trails while maintaining a safe distance from nesting areas of the 150 bird species inhabiting the wetlands.
The wetland system contains more than 405 plant species, including 13 endangered varieties, and serves as a critical stopover for birds migrating to North Africa.
