In the pools of the Lithuanian Maritime Museum, pups of Baltic gray seals brought weak and sick from the sea in the spring are recovering fast. As many as 22 of them were found this year, 3 of them were unfortunately not saved by the museum specialists.

While traveling around national and regional parks, reserves and strict reserves, it will now be easier to find reliable information on the new website www.saugoma.lt. Not only the exceptional value of protected areas, natural and cultural heritage values ​​are clearly listed here, but also a lot of additional information related to visiting.

The first protected area in Lithuania - Žuvintas Reserve - celebrates its 85th anniversary, as it was established in 1937 on the initiative of Professor Tadas Ivanauskas. At that time, the protection of Lake Žuvintas began, which is distinguished by an extremely rich and diverse world of birds.

From today, the National Center for Protected Areas and the Visitor Centers of the Directorates of Protected Areas will provide free guided tours and independent visits to the citizens of the Republic of Ukraine.
