Central Suriname Nature Reserve
The Central Suriname Nature Reserve encompasses 1.6 million hectares of pristine tropical forest in west-central Suriname. The reserve protects the upper basin of the Koppenaam River and the headwaters of the Lucy, Oster, Zuide, Salamachi and Granrio rivers, and covers a range of terrains and ecosystems that have significant conservation value due to their pristine state. The reserve's mountain and lowland forest flora is extremely diverse, with more than 5,000 vascular plant species collected to date. The reserve's fauna is typical of the region and includes jaguars, giant armadillos, giant otters, tapirs, sloths, eight species of primates and 400 bird species, such as the harpy eagle, the Guiana cockatoo and the vermilion macaw.
Comoé National Park
The park is one of the largest protected areas in West Africa and has a wide variety of flora. Due to the presence of the Comoé River, the park contains plants that are usually only found further south, such as shrub savannah and large areas of dense rainforest.
Rock-Hewn Churches of Ivanovo
In the Roussenski Valley of the Roma River in northeastern Bulgaria, a complex of rock-hewn churches, chapels, monasteries and cells developed near the village of Ivanovo. In the 12th century, the first hermits dug their cells and churches here. The 14th-century frescoes bear witness to the extraordinary skills of the artists of the Tarnovo School.
