East Carpathian Transboundary Biosphere Reserve, UNESCO Biosphere Reserve between Slovakia and Ukraine.

The East Carpathian Transboundary Biosphere Reserve contains extensive mountain ranges, forests, meadows, and river valleys across 2,132 square kilometers of protected land.

The reserve received international recognition in 1992 through collaboration between Slovakia and Ukraine, expanding its protected status under UNESCO's Man and Biosphere Programme in 1998.

Local communities within the reserve maintain traditional agricultural practices and forestry methods that have shaped the regional landscape over many generations.

Visitors can access numerous marked hiking trails throughout the reserve, with entry points located near Poloniny National Park in Slovakia and Uzh National Park in Ukraine.

The reserve functions as a natural laboratory where scientists monitor ecological changes and conduct research on forest ecosystems across international boundaries.
