Nature reserve in Cherkasy Oblast, Ukraine
The Kaniv Nature Reserve is a protected nature reserve of Ukraine that covers a portion of the right bank of the Dnieper River, and two floodplain islands in the river itself. The reserve is in the center of Ukraine, along the northeast edge of the Dnieper Upland. It was created to protect valuable forest-steppe and floodplain habitat. The site is known for an abundance of archaeological sites left by cultures back to the Paleolithic. The reserve is a unit of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, and is located in Cherkasy Oblast.
