kolkheti national park


Kolkheti National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Georgia, safeguards the ancient Colchian lowlands famed in mythology as the homeland of the Golden Fleece. It protects vast peatlands, wetlands, and lakes that form critical habitats for diverse flora and fauna, including endemic species like the Colchis fern and migratory waterbirds. The park's subtropical forests and brackish marshes sustain unique biodiversity, while ancient archaeological sites reveal traces of early human civilizations.
