100 Years of Nature Protection

Lagodekhi Protected Areas, Georgia © Agency of Protected Areas

Lagodekhi photo exhibit
Lagodekhi Reserve is situated in the greater Caucasus range. First established in 1912, it is the oldest protected area not only in Georgia but in the entire region.

To celebrate Lagodekhi’s 100th anniversary the CNF board along with some of our major supporters visited to the park in May 2012. More recently, Georgia’s Parliament hosted a CNF funded  photo-exhibition of some of the park’s most stunning landscapes.

The park is one of the region’s most lush.  Rivers and waterfalls are abundant, flowing from the high mountains into the wooded lower zone, which includes virgin forests of beech and hornbeam. The alpine valleys are home to the chamois and endemic East Caucasian tur and red deer, all of which are listed on the IUCN Red List. We encourage you to visit Lagodekhi in 2013.

In other places, their hooves would churn the light soil and decaying leaves underfoot into an orange-brown mush. The [...]

Our dual objective was to assess their problems and potential, and to scout out the Armenian leg of our September donor trip.   [...]

CNF News, In The Field, South Caucasus Parks, Tourism
Meeting the Transcausian Trail’s Armenia staff in the glass-clad, ultra-modern setting of downtown Yerevan’s Impact Hub, it’s hard to imagine any of them spending next summer knee-deep in muddy mountain streams wielding shovels and pick-axes. Yet, it is precisely this contrast between the rustic and the polished, the tech-savvy and the hands-on, that makes this [...]
