Luhansk Nature Reserve

Luhansk Nature Reserve (Ukrainian: Луганський природний заповідник) is an administrative collection of four individual national nature reserves of Ukraine. Located in Luhansk Oblast, the easternmost province of Ukraine, the Luhansk reserves were affected by hostilities in the area in 2014. Originally established as a strict reserve for conservation and scientific study, public access is prohibited. The four components each exhibit a different aspect of the steppe ecology of eastern Ukraine.[1]
