Selevenj heath

Selevenj heath or Selevenjske pustare is a Pannonian heath type reserve in the Kanjiža and Subotica municipalities in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina in Serbia. The reserve with an area of 6.77 km² has never been urbanised and is protected as a special nature reserve. It consists of areas criss-crossed with orchards, fields and vineyards and is primarily used for botanical conservation.^[1]
