The Berezinsky Biosphere Reserve is a reserve located in the northern part of Belarus at a distance of 120 kilometers from Minsk in the direction of St. Petersburg. Located on the border of Vitebsk and Minsk regions. The center of the reserve is in the village of Domzheritsy, Lepel district. It was created for the protection and breeding of rare species of animals that are listed in the national Red Book. The total area is 85.2 thousand hectares. The Berezinsky State Reserve was established in January 1925 and became one of the first Soviet reserves.
During the Great Patriotic War and the German occupation, it was seriously damaged and in 1951 it was decided to liquidate the reserve, but in 1958 it was restored.
In 1979, the Berezinsky Reserve was given the status of a biosphere reserve.
Due to its biological diversity and the uniqueness of natural complexes, the reserve is of exceptional importance not only for Belarus, but for the whole of Europe as a whole. There are four types of ecosystems here: dense forests, swampy swamps, fast-flowing reservoirs and clear meadows. The main type are forests, occupying about 89% of the territory of the reserve.
