Lone Poplar Protected Area, Natural monument near Har-Buluk village, Kalmykia, Russia
The Lone Poplar stands tall within a protected area, accompanied by natural springs that emerge from the ground beneath its branches.
In 1981, Russian authorities designated the area as a protected natural monument to preserve the Laurel-leaved poplar and its surrounding ecosystem.
Buddhist practitioners gather at the tree to perform traditional ceremonies and leave colored ribbons and coins as offerings for their prayers.
The protected area maintains designated paths for visitors to access the springs and observe the tree while preserving the natural environment.
This centuries-old tree won third place in the European Tree of the Year competition in 2019, representing Russian natural heritage.
