Roztochya Biosphere Reserve, Protected natural area in Lviv Oblast, Ukraine.
The reserve spans 74,800 hectares of forests, grasslands, wetlands, and agricultural lands at the northwestern edge of the Podillia Upland near Lviv.
The establishment of Roztochya Biosphere Reserve in 1984 led to its recognition as part of the Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Local communities maintain traditional practices of subsistence farming, stock breeding, fish farming, and woodworking activities throughout the reserve's transition zones.
Visitors can access guided tours through specific areas of the reserve, which includes Nature Reserve Roztochya, Yavorivskyi National Nature Park, and Ravske Roztochya Regional Park.
The reserve forms an ecological corridor where plant species from three distinct regions converge: Polesia, Podillia, and the Carpathians.
