Kuvasti, also known as Kuvasti Island, is a small, uninhabited island located in the Gulf of Finland, off the coast of Estonia. It is part of the larger Kuivastu archipelago, which consists of several islands and islets. The island is characterized by its rocky terrain and sparse vegetation, primarily consisting of heather and birch trees. Kuvasti is known for its birdlife, with numerous species nesting on the island, including puffins, guillemots, and razorbills.

The island's history is relatively unknown, as it has not been inhabited for centuries. However, it is believed to have been used for grazing by local farmers in the past. Today, Kuvasti is a protected area, managed by the Estonian Nature Conservation Centre. The island is accessible only by boat, and visitors are required to follow strict guidelines to minimize their impact on the fragile ecosystem.

Kuvasti's remote location and unique ecosystem make it an important site for scientific research. Studies have been conducted on the island's bird populations, as well as its geological and botanical features. The island's pristine environment also makes it a popular destination for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts.

Despite its small size, Kuvasti plays a significant role in the conservation of Estonia's natural heritage. The island's protection helps to preserve the delicate balance of its ecosystem, ensuring that future generations can enjoy and study this unique natural wonder.
