A unique plant of the pre-glacial period was almost completely destroyed 10 years ago by a fire moth. Of the more than two thousand hectares of boxwood, only about 50 have been preserved. Today, experts from the Sochi National Park note that the plant has begun to recover without human help.

“Today, in places of natural growth of Colchis boxwood, strong self-sowing is observed, which indicates the beginning of the restoration of the population,” says Boris Tuniev, Deputy for Science of the Sochi National Park.

At the same time, it is too early to talk about the complete restoration of a rare plant without a human contribution. For this purpose, a special nursery was created in the Sochi National Park, where 50,000 boxwood seedlings were sown. Until 2030, scientists plan to plant grown plants in the wild, in places of natural growth.
