Askania-Nova: an ecological gem in Ukraine
Askania-Nova, located in the southern part of Ukraine's Kherson Oblast, is one of Europe's largest nature reserves and a globally renowned conservation area for steppe ecosystems. Founded in 1828 by German aristocrat Friedrich von Pfalz-Fein, the 11,000-hectare "green island" was originally a private estate, and in 1921 it was transformed into a state reserve. Its central feature is the well-preserved grassland - one of the last remaining uncultivated steppes in Europe - which is home to more than 500 species of plants, 300 species of birds, and a variety of rare animals, including the endangered Przewalski's wildebeest and the high-nosed antelope. It is not only a base for ecological research, but also an ecological tourist attraction, where visitors can walk on the steppe, observe wild animals, and feel the blend of nature and history, and is known as the "ecological green lung of Ukraine".
