loodusrikas

Loodusrikas is an Estonian word that translates to "rich in nature" or "abundant in nature" in English. It is often used to describe a place, an area, or a country that possesses significant natural resources, biodiversity, and scenic beauty. This can include diverse ecosystems such as forests, wetlands, coastlines, and mountains, as well as a wide variety of plant and animal species.

The term emphasizes the presence of natural wealth, encompassing not only tangible resources like timber, minerals, and water but also intangible benefits such as clean air, healthy landscapes, and opportunities for recreation and tourism. A loodusrikas area is typically characterized by its unspoiled or minimally impacted natural environment, offering a high quality of natural surroundings.

Estonia itself is often described as loodusrikas due to its extensive forests, numerous bogs and mires, and long coastline. This natural abundance plays a significant role in the country's identity, economy, and the well-being of its inhabitants. The concept encourages appreciation and conservation of natural heritage.
