A national park is planned to be established in the Tver Region on Lake Seliger, the regional ministry of natural resources and ecology informs.
“A national park is planned to be created on the lands of Ostashkov, Selizharov and a part of Penov Districts. Now this area has the status of a specially protected natural zone -the resort of local significance “Seliger” - a representative of the ministry mentioned.
As he said, in connection with the increasing load (annually hundreds of thousands of tourists visit Seliger) the status of a local value resort does not provide sufficient protection of this land and its natural resources.
