Nigula Nature Reserve ((エストニア語:Nigula looduskaitseala)) is a nature reserve situated in South-West of Estonia, in Häädemeeste and Saarde parishes of Pärnu County. It has an area of 63.98 km². Nigula nature reserve is one of the oldest bog reserves in Estonia. It is established to protect the Nigula Bog and its surrounding forests in their natural state. == Wildlife in Nigula == The core habitat of Nigula Nature Reserve is the Nigula bog, which is a typical Western-Estonian bog. In a medium-sized bog (~30 km²) can be found all the different bog habitats like hummocky bog, pool-bog, hollowy-bog, wooden-bog, mineral bog-islands and also transitional mire in the lagg-zone. In the surrounding areas can be found old untouched swamp forests, but also managed forests. The farmlands that generate a buffer-zone around the bog and forests are managed extensively. Here can be found both natural grasslands and cultivated fields. The heterogeneity of different landscapes and habitats gives good possibilities for wildlife. Nigula is an important bird area, it is a stopping area for migratory geese, swans and cranes, it is an important habitat for wetland birds and also favourable area for many different raptor species. The reserve is also an important habitat for large carnivores (brown bear, wolf, lynx) and big game animals (moose, roe deer, red deer, wild boar etc.). Nigula is a part of North-Livonian transboundary wetlands and forests complex. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nigula Nature Reserve」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
