| Abstract |
A total of 38 protected areas have been created in Ukraine over the past four years. In addition, 8 biosphere reserves and national parks have been substantially enlarged. As a result, Ukraine's protected area network now covers 3.27 million ha, or approximately 5.4% of the country's territory. This project aims to improve the management of Ukraine's network of protected areas and support its expansion by 300000 ha anticipated to take place in the next 2 years. |
