Şahbuz State Nature Reserve, now Zangezur National Park[edit]
Hello, I wanted to inform whoever it may concern that Şahbuz State Nature Reserve is a part of Zangezur National Park. It was combined with Ordubad National Park on November 25, 2009, and the combined area of the two locations was renamed to Zangezur National Park.
I bring this up because I believe that there was some confusion over this. Şahbuz was originally listed here on Wikimedia Commons as "Şahbuz National Park", though on Wikipedia it was listed as a "Shahbuz State Reserve." Various sources online seem to agree that it was a State Nature Reserve. However, I believe that this page title is outdated if the area is now a part of Zangezur National Park.
Here is a source that describes Zangezur National Park and shows the area contained within: https://www.protectedplanet.net/555549398
On that source, one can see that what appears on Google as "Shahbuz National Reserve" is a part of Zangezur National Park on Protected Planet's map.
I also wanted to write this to inform anyone associated with the "Natural and cultural heritage of Azerbaijan" banner, because Şahbuz appears on the list as a national park. I believe that it should be removed from that list too. I only say this to alleviate confusion and I hope that this comment is helpful. Thank you for reading.
