Biodiversity. Response

Current natural protective practice that traditionally is based on some reserve units building, sometimes is not effective. The reserve units themselves, to regret, can not support the most part of protected species, because their territory for this is very small. Now there are not methods that allow to define the minimum areas of reserve unit from ecological system viability point of view.

One of the ways of animal diversity is in construction of " ecological network". This network could envelope reserve territories and parks in Kyiv and behind it. It could be an ideal one for management of species populations capable to self-renovation. This approach coincides with the main direction of "European biological and landscape diversity protection strategy". In the measures plan for 1996-2000 the question as for formation of European ecological network is the first one.

Thus, we can formulate base principles for animal world protection in the urban landscape that is Kyiv.

1. The ecological network formation as systems of associated and quasi-natural biological biotopes.

2. Inclusion of natural protective plans into social and economic context of national, regional and departmental plans.

3.Regard for global context as for different species so for biotopes.

Some from these principles are already declared in Ukraine in legislative documents, others are not. According to this it is necessary to underline the propaganda importance and implement of these documents in the nature protective and economic activity.

Ecological education and population culture is of importance while solving the municipal bio-diversity protection problem.
