#Estonia celebrates its national holiday today! Congratulations 🎉 🇪🇪 🤝🇪🇺
The territory of Estonia is 50% covered by forests and 22% covered by wetlands and bogs, with over 1,400 lakes and 2,000 islands, making it a true paradise for lovers of the great outdoors. Home to lynx, brown bears, wolves, and elk, Estonia is also a haven for birdwatchers, with species like the white-tailed eagle and black stork, and numerous migratory birds (over 50 million water and coastal birds are attracted by its abundant coastal wetlands). Over 18% of Estonia’s land and sea area is protected, with sound environmental practices enabling sustainable eco-tourism.
