Introduction: Environmental conditions and pressures

Georgia has a land area of 69,700 km2 and is located in the mountainous South Caucasus region of Eurasia, which stretches from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea. The country’s northern border runs roughly along the crest of the Greater Caucasus mountain range. In addition to this mountain range, Georgia is bounded by the Lesser Caucasus mountains to the south, while the Likhi mountain range divides the country into eastern and western halves. The western border of the country is formed by the 315-km-long Black Sea coastline.
