The research station and nature reserve on Koltur Island unites science and nature

The beautiful island of Koltur is a perfect site for the first nature reserve in the Faroes. It holds unique landscape features and diverse habitats with a high number of species. Few non-native and invasive species are present so far. Due to its rather isolated status, Koltur has been protected against the more industrial part of human endeavours. It gives a good impression of how Faroese people have lived in these remote islands through history and how they have used and shaped their surroundings. Now the time has come to ensure that the Faroese nature is being protected and restored, so that it can be enjoyed by future generations.
