Ukrainian Steppe Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine.
The Ukrainian Steppe Nature Reserve encompasses four distinct branches: Khomutovskyi, Kamiani Mohyly, Kreidova Flora, and Kalmiuske, covering 2,768 hectares of protected land.
Established in 1961, this reserve preserves sections of the original steppe that stretched from the Azov Sea to the Black Sea before agricultural development.
The Stone Tombs section contains over 3,000 petroglyphs on sandstone formations, documenting the passage of numerous tribes through these grasslands.
Access to the reserve requires special permits, though visitors can explore the Stone Tomb historical site and its museum without restrictions.
The reserve harbors 14 different species of feather grass and supports 926 plant species, 26 mammal species, and 115 bird species in its varied ecosystems.
