Georgian Gov't Approved Establishment of Racha National Park

The Georgian government will establish the Racha National Park in the west of the country. The project's goals include the creation of new jobs, the preservation of biodiversity, and the sustainable management of natural resources.

The Park will be built on a 50,894-hectare plot of land in the Racha-Lechkhumi and Kvemo Svaneti areas, and it will require establishing an administrative center there.

Protection and sustainable administering of landscapes and ecosystems in the area are also a part of the initiative.

The decision on the establishment of the Park was announced during Monday’s Government meeting and follows a bill on the subject first initiated in 2020 with the aim of creating the protected area.
