CURRENT STATE OF BIODIVERSITY OF THE REGIONAL LANDSCAPE PARK «YALIVSHCHYNA» AND PROBLEMS OF ITS CONSERVATION
Keywords:
rare biodiversity, RLP «Yalivshchyna», protection of species
Abstract
Biodiversity is a key indicator of the value of a natural area, its conservation status and role in the conservation of certain species. Rare species are classified into three main categories: national, international and regional significance and protection. According to this gradation, the status of species is determined and their inclusion in the relevant lists and inventories, such as annexes to international conventions on the protection of flora and fauna, the Red Book of Ukraine and regional lists of species protected within the administrative regions. Biodiversity conservation is one of the most pressing problems of our time. The implementation of directives and environmental protection measures aimed at preserving biodiversity is becoming increasingly difficult, and in some cases impossible, due to the impact of military operations. The objects of the nature reserve fund occupy an important place on the map of Ukraine, since the main part of the country’s flora and fauna, which is under special protection at the state, regional and international levels, is concentrated here. The research was carried out during 2015–2024 on the territory of the regional landscape park «Yalivshchyna» within the city of Chernihiv. Based on the analysis of literary sources, the key characteristics of the biodiversity of the nature reserve fund object and adjacent territories were determined. In the process of analyzing the state of biodiversity, species protected at the regional, national and international levels were identified. The purpose of the research conducted on the territory of the regional landscape park «Yalivshchyna» in the city of Chernihiv was to clarify the current picture of the distribution of species of different categories and protection statuses in order to develop scientific recommendations for further protection, conservation and reproduction, as well as monitoring the state of their populations. Such comprehensive applied research is of great importance for the biodiversity monitoring system of nature reserve objects in individual regions, as they contribute to improving biodiversity protection at different levels (species, population, phytocenotic, ecosystem) and at different territorial levels (regional and state).
