The entire area of the region comprises 2589 km² (ca. 3.8 % of the country‟s area), the entire population – 102,400 persons (1.9 % of the county‟s population)[The entire statistical data presented here was obtained within the framework of the present project. Other existing statistical sources (TM, 1994; Guretski, 1998) were used in order to adjust some important figures, including the total area of the district and population size]. The region lies in treeless mountain plateau with an average elevation ca. 2000 m, which represents the northern edge of volcanic uplands spreading through the western Armenia, eastern and central Turkey and southern Georgia. From the north, the region borders Borjomi district; from the west – Aspindza district; from the east – Tsalka and Dmanisi districts of Georgia; from the south, the region borders Turkey and Armenia. Javakheti has 99 settlements – villages and two towns – with population size varying between 80 and 15,000. The largest town (and an unofficial centre) is town Akhalkalaki (15,000) in its central part, in valley of the river Paravani. The region has over 100 natural lakes, mostly of volcanic origin, six of that have surface exceeding 5 km². 1999 published unpublished Research Support Scheme reports 38 Georgian Center for Conservation of Wildlife http://biodiversity-georgia.net/newsletter/gbd_papers/1377165466_5215e09a536819.30696072.pdf author
