Codrii Tigheci, Landscape reserve in Cantemir District, Moldova.
Codrii Tigheci contains numerous plant species and century-old trees spread across valleys and steep slopes within its protected boundaries.
The forest area decreased substantially after 1800 when agricultural expansion reduced Moldova's forest coverage from 80 percent to 12 percent.
The term 'codru' stems from pre-Roman Paleo-Balkan languages and represents the traditional forests that characterized Moldova's central region.
The reserve maintains walking paths that allow visitors to observe local wildlife and plant species while ensuring environmental protection measures.
The protected area functions as a research site for studying ecosystem changes and monitoring the effects of environmental factors on local species.
