The National Park Javakheti (Georgian: ჯავახეთის ეროვნული პარკი) is located in the Ninotsminda Municipality in south of Georgia on the border with Armenia and Turkey in the Samtskhe–Javakheti region.[1] The park is part of a transboundary protected area: in neighbouring Armenia, it joins the Lake Arpi National Park.
The project to establish the national park was carried out by the Georgian government in cooperation with the WWF and was financially supported by the German government. Local authorities, communities and stakeholders are also involved in the management of the area.[2]
Javakheti National Park is part of Javakheti Protected Areas which also includes Kartsakhi Managed Reserve, Sulda Managed Reserve, Khanchali Managed Reserve, Bugdasheni Managed Reserve and Madatapa Managed Reserve.[3]
