The deputies of the Kyiv City Council voted in favor of the relevant decision at the meeting on Thursday, May 16, “in order to preserve valuable natural complexes.” “Granting the status of a natural reserve fund object will make it impossible to use these lands for building and land reclamation, help preserve valuable natural complexes and representatives of island flora and fauna, because now due to excessive anthropogenic pressure, there is a degradation of the natural ecosystems of the Dnipro islands within Kyiv city,” the press service said.
The Kyiv City Administration said that the landscape preservation area will be created without land acquisition from land users. The Department of Ecology and Natural Resources is charged with organizing the transfer of these territories to the protection of the municipal enterprise Darnytsky Forest Park and Kyiv’s Pleso municipal enterprise for the protection, maintenance and operation of land of the water fund.
“The territory included in the created landscape preservation area is represented by 14 lakes and deciduous forest, as well as a significant grouping of rare species that are listed in the Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats in Europe dated September 19, 1979, European Red List, the Red Book of Ukraine and other legislative acts,” the administration said in the statement.
