Abstract
Georgia is rich in natural resources, especially mountain settlements, which are distinguished by useful mineral resources and a variety of flora and fauna.
As of 2022, the total area of protected areas is 798,287 hectares, which is 11.5% of the country's territory. In Georgia, there are 94 protected areas of 5 different categories (according to IUCN criteria), namely: 14 state reserves, 13 national parks, 40 natural monuments, 24 protected and 3 protected landscapes.
It should be noted that the Eastern Caucasus and mountainous Adjara are especially rich in terms of protected areas.
98% of forest resources are concentrated in high mountain settlements of Georgia, such as: Racha (56%), Adjara (63%), on the slopes of which 60% or more of forests are located.
