Forests in Ukrainian nature reserve fund and problems of its enlargement

Abstract

The structure of Ukrainian nature reserve fund (on administrative-territorial units, protection categories and land use categories) was analyzed using the State forest inventory data, the State cadastre of nature reserve fund and State land cadastre. Scientifically substantiated proposals for optimization of administrative-territorial structure and general system of Ukrainian nature reserve fund, for improvement of its protection category structure, forms of protection and wildlife management were offered. The representativeness of zonal natural complexes within administrative regions and sozological criteria of natural territorial complexes’ values should be considered before the establishment of large protected areas. It’s recommended to improve the structure of protected areas network for the purpose to optimize its representativeness through the disposal of the existing disproportion in number and areas of different zonal natural complex types either in administrative-territorial structure or in general system of nature reserve fund. Passive form of protection is recognized as inefficient in 95 % of Ukrainian forests which are represented by anthropogenically changed semi-natural forest ecosystems. Additional compensating mechanism of anthropogenic regulation (active form of protection) and transit from mainly segregated form of protection towards the different forms of integrated protection are recommended.
