Ukraine has many primeval natural sites, where one can take a rest from city noise. It is becoming more important today to preserve forestlands for recreational purposes. This concerns municipal forests and forest parks, national natural parks, as well as forest implantations near resort and tourist institutions. Forest plantations near large cities are used the most intensively. The area of Ukraine’s forest massif totals 10.8 mn ha.
Recreational woods, which include wood categories serving mostly hygienic and healing functions (forests around large communities, green areas around industrial communities, sanitary protection forests of healing territories) and special forest purpose (biosphere reserves, national parks, regional landscape parks, nature memorials, entailed forest gorges, as wells as woods with scientific or historical value), cover the area of some 2 mn ha.
The leaders by forest stock areas are Zhitomir (10.1%), Rivne (7.8%), Kiev (6.9%), Chernigov (6.6%), Volyn (6.5%), Lvov (6.4%), Zakarpatye (6.4%), and Ivano-Frankovsk (5.8%) regions. The regions suffering the most of forest shortage are Zaporozhye and Kirovograd.
National parks (recreation zones), parks-memorials of landscape architecture, zoo parks, and natural memorials are of the greatest importance for resort and recreational field.
The structure of Ukraine’s entailed nature fund includes 11 categories of territories and objects of all-state and local scale. These are natural and biosphere reserves, national parks, regional landscape parks, preserves, natural memorials, entailed gorges (tracts), as well as artificial sites: botanical gardens, dendrologic parks, parks-memorials of landscape architecture, and zoo parks.
Ukraine’s preserve nature fund embraces 7,040 territories and sites of gross area some 2,715.4 ths. ha, which makes 4.5% of all territory of Ukraine. The areas of particular categories within entailed nature fund are patterned in the following way: natural wildlife reserves – 6%, biosphere reserves – 8%, national parks – 22%, preserves – 38%, natural memorials – 1%, regional landscape parks – 21%, entailed gorges – 3%, artificial sites of entailed nature fund (botanical gardens, dendrologic parks, parks-memorials of landscape architecture) – 1%.
The main natural areas of Ukraine’s environmental chain include: Carpathian mountain land, Pre-Carpathians with Opilye, Crimean mountain land, Western Polesye, Eastern Polesye, Podolye plateau, Middle Pre-Dnepr area, Severskiy Donets valley, Donetsk ridge and Priazovye plateau, Dnepr-Molochanskoye mid-river area, lowland of Danube valley, Azov Sea, as well as Southeastern shelf of the Black Sea. The main components for these regions were determined as present and prospective national parks, natural and biosphere reserves. The main natural corridors are rivers Dniester, Southern Bug and Western Bug, Dnepr, and Severskiy Donets.
The world list of biosphere reserves includes 6 objects in Ukraine: biosphere reserves Askania-Nova, Chernomorskiy (Black Sea), Dunayskiy (Danube), Carpathian, as well as Uzhanskiy national park with Nadsianskiy regional landscape park which is part of Ukrainian-Polish-Slovak biosphere preserve Eastern Carpathians, and Shatskiy national park.
Shatskiy national park is the cornerstone of Ukrainian part within Ukrainian-Polish preserve Western Polesye (materials were submitted for consideration by UNESCO). Materials on creating Ukrainian district in Ukrainian-Russian biosphere reserve at Desna river with preliminary name “Briansko-Starogutskiye forests” are being at the final stage of preparing. As part of TACIS project, Ukrainian-Polish biosphere reserve is being established at Roztochchya. The Ukrainian part of the reserve will include Yavoriv national park, Roztochchya natural reserve, and two newly founded regional landscape parks. Ukraine is working to create trans-border biosphere reserves in Maramoroskiye mountains in the Carpathians – with Romania, in Dniester delta – with Moldova, at Tisa river – with Hungary, at Pripyat river – with Belarus, and at Severskiy Donets – with Russia.
Ramsarskiy list of water and swamp territories already includes 22 of such areas in Ukraine. And the list of another 30 candidates for Ramsarskiy list has been approved by the government of Ukraine.
15 sites from Ukraine’s entailed nature fund have applied to be included into Emerald chain of Europe (Bern convention, which is the analogue of the EU NATURA, 2000 network. The short-term task is to develop proposals of 20 more potential nature protections territories of Ukraine.
