The Serebryansky Forest, officially designated as the Serebryansky Reserve, is a natural reserve in Eastern Ukraine, along the Siverskyi Donets river.
Location
[edit | edit source]The forest is located about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) southwest of Kreminna in Luhansk Oblast. It is on the left bank of the Siverskyi Donets river.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]On 25 December 2001, the Luhansk Oblast Council declared the forest to become a natural reserve.
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the forest has been situated on the front line for a long time.[2] Therefore, the natural ecosystems have been severely damaged as a result of heavy fighting in the area.[3]
Characteristics
[edit | edit source]The Serebryansky Reserve covers a total area of 107.1 hectares (265 acres). Though it mainly consists of forestry, it also has other terrains such as swamps and meadows.
Flora and Fauna
[edit | edit source]The reserve is a center of boreal ecosystems in the area, which includes many plants that are rare in Luhansk Oblast.
For fauna, the natural reserve has many species, including the European tree frog and the Common slow worm.
