Forms of nature protection such as national parks and Natura 2000 sites
In 1994 Ukraine ratified the Convention on Biodiversity. Currently, the percentage of forests under protection on the territory of Ukraine is 5.4%. The State Agency of Forest Resources has approximately 35 % of the natural protective state resources. 15.4 % of the forests, which are subordinate to the State Agency of Forest Resources, are already under protection.
It should be noted that within 30 years the percentage of forest land under protection has increased by almost 3 times. The high percentage of forest Nature Reserves in Ukraine proves that strict criteria regarding forest management have been imposed. The above mentioned criteria meet the requirements of the Pan-European Strategy for the maintenance of biological and landscape diversity.
In addition, since 1961 the percentage of forest under protection has increased from 34% to 50%. In general, in Ukraine, production is not permitted in 40 % of the forests. There were established more than 3.1 thousand areas and monuments of natural protection, covering 1.2 million ha of forests belonging to the State Agency of Forest Resources.
The State Agency of Forest Resources manages 12 nature protection areas (6 nature reserves, 5 national parks, 1 nature and economic park). It also manages 1,303 temporary reserves, 32 regional parks, 15 dendrology parks and 42 parks with garden art particularities.
With the support of the Ministry of Agriculture, Environment and Quality Nutrition of the
Netherlands and the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine in the Ukrainian
Carpathians, the pilot project BBI - MATRA is implemented. The name is as follows: "Specification and classification of biotopes in Ukraine: introduction of standards and methodology of the European Union".
