Tarutyns'kyj steppe, Landscape reserve in Odesa Oblast, Ukraine.
The reserve spans 5200 hectares of natural pasture and wooded areas across the southern slopes of the South Moldavian Upland, reaching 152 meters above sea level.
The area transformed from a military training range established in 1946 to a protected reserve in 2012 through negotiations between local authorities and the Ministry of Defence.
The reserve contains forb-fescue-feather grass steppes that represent traditional Ukrainian landscapes that once covered forty percent of the national territory.
Scientists and researchers access the reserve to study over forty species listed in the Red Book of Ukraine within established conservation guidelines.
The protected area serves as an ecological corridor for migratory birds and maintains the last population of southern birch mice in Ukraine.
