It officially became a botanical and zoological reserve in 1969 and has since become protected by the EU Habitats Directive and Birds Directive.^[1] At 3327 hectares the area is mostly a forest though around 13% of the land is a bog.^[2] The reserve is home to at least 100 different bird species, 14 of which appear in Lithuania's Red Book.^[3]

Protection status

The reserve was given the protection status of IUCN Category IV in 1986, meaning that it is a "Habitat/Species Management Area".
