Pruhonice park, located on the outskirts of Prague, is to be included in the UNESCO-protected Prague town reserve, according to a decision made at a recent meeting of the UNESCO commission in Brazil. The Czech Culture Ministry and the park’s management have welcomed the news saying it would help protect and improve on one of Europe’s largest landscape parks. Pruhonice, which covers more than 200 hectares, has a valuable collection of plants from all over the world.
