A Milestone for the Orheiul Vechi Reserve: Barbastelle Bat Identified
Biologists have recently confirmed the presence of the Barbastelle bat (Barbastella barbastellus), a species extremely rare in Moldova, within the Orheiul Vechi Reserve. This discovery marks a first for the protected area, as the species had previously been documented in the country exclusively within the Saharna site. Classified as critically endangered and included in the Red Book, this small mammal serves as a biological indicator of forest ecosystem health. Its presence in Orheiul Vechi highlights the significant ecological value of the local forests, which provide vital natural habitats for its survival. See more
