Vashlovani Protected areas are located at the very south-eastern part of Georgia – Dedoplistskaro district. It’s called Georgian savanna, because of its semi-desert landscapes and vegetation.
Hills, canyons, and desert, what we visually see at present times, it was a sea bottom long ago. Scientists found lots of different seashell fossils as a poove of the theory. Supposedly, these seashells are 2 million years old.
The area is also special for its flora and fauna. There are more than 700 different rare plants and more than 46 different mammals registered, a huge variety of raptors, in fact, the area is their main eggery.
