The whole area is planned to become a part of a botanical reserve of local importance, the "Bushtyn Ice Age Park", which is under approval. Within the projected reserve, there are already has two small sites of locally-protected natural resources - the zapovidne urochyshche "Dubrovy" (10 ha) and the botanical zapovidne urochyshche "Mochar" (8 ha).The proposed site includes a swamp-forest complex in the plain tract "Dubrova" of exceptional conservation importance, which is a refusion of the last ice age and the last remnant of relict glacial ecosystems in the Pannonian region of Ukraine, preserved in warm peripheral conditions. Of particular value are fragments of sphagnum bogs (peatlands), wetlands, glacial forests, as well as a single array of acidophilic molinium forests, which are the last habitats of many unique for the region north-boreal species of flora and fauna in the plains.The territory of the site is the most important center of species diversity of the plain, with one of the highest in the region the number of rare and endangered species of plants and animals listed in the international conservation lists, the Red book of Ukraine and the regional red list of species. 16 Red book of Ukraine listed species of plants and 18 species of the regional red list were found within the tract. There are unique in the Carpathian-Pannonian region of Ukraine, relict growths of many plant species, including violet marsh (the only habitat in Central Europe), marsh moths, carnation and more than a dozen species known in the region from one or two habitats, including narcissus narrow-leaved (the second largest plain population). Several black stork nests were recorded in a small forest of the tract.The territory of the tract is characterized by the highest diversity of diurnal butterflies in Transcarpathia, due to which the forests of Dubrova belong to the territory of European importance, having the status of "Prime Butterfly Area".

OTHERCHARACT:
The proposed site represents the landscape of a meandering multi-sleeved riverbed with large pebble beaches, where the Tisza, at the entrance to the plain, still retains a semi-mountainous character and has the opportunity to change the course.Along the arms, in the old Tisza and in their floodplains, as well as on the islands, there are coastal willow-poplar and alder-ash forests-galleries and shrubs. On the wetted coast, along the watercourses, high-grass hygrophilous groups are widespread, which are mosaic-like in the form of narrow strips along the banks of the channel, islands, and streams below the Tisza floodplain. Also in the Tisza floodplain there are sedge high-grass marshes formed on the place of the riverbeds of the former branches of the river on rich alluvial sediments. All these areas, along with old rivers and watercourses, are the main centers of biodiversity of Prytysyanshchyna and a guarantee of sustainable existence of the river ecosystem and ecological stability of the region.The designed site is the most important center of species diversity of the plains of Transcarpathia, with one of the highest in the region in the number of rare and endangered species listed in the international conservation lists, the Red book of Ukraine and the regional red list of species. The site is especially important for preserving the diversity of wildlife. In particular, from the invertebrate fauna 34 species of mace-tailed butterflies, 18 species of rare beetles-turuns were found here, of which 2 species in Transcarpathia occur only in the riverbed of the Tisza. The floodplain is the habitat of many species of amphibians, reptiles, rare species of mammals (otters and forest cats). The presence of old hollow black poplar trees causes a high variety of bats. The plain area of ??the Tisza has an almost complete species composition of the ichthyofauna of Transcarpathia, among which are rare Danube salmon, striped ruff, and sterlet. The special importance of the Tisza as a more important center of concentration of birds. The width of the valley, numerous pebble islands, meandering islands with permanent woody vegetation contribute to the formation of groups of wetland birds, forest species, peculiar only to the valley of the Tisza River. Only here the colonial settlements of the river tern and the small tern have survived - their colonies make up about 50% of the population of the entire Middle Danube Lowland. The floodplain plays an important role in the ecological corridor for the penetration of bird species into the mountain range of the Eastern Carpathians and seasonal migrations.Along with the unparalleled value of the territory as a site representing the floodplain complex of the Tisza River, a significant center of species diversity, the area proposed for the testament is an important geospatial node (key area) of the projected ecological network in the developed and densely populated region. The proposed site is also an important connecting eco-corridor between the mountain-Carpathian and plain-Pannonian regions.

The need to create this territory is due to the high conservation value of the natural complexes of the Ostroh Pass valley. A part of the territory of the valley is already included in the territory of Emerald site UA0000102 (Dermansko-Ostrozkyi National Nature Park) with an area of ??5448.3 ha. However, this site includes only a small part of the Ostroh Pass valley and is significantly fragmented. The creation of a larger and more integrated Emerald territory would further provide protection for large forest areas, in particular including G1.8, G1.41 and G3.1F. The need to expand the Emerald network to protect the last two types of habitats in the continental region was identified during the last biogeographic seminar. In addition, the conservation of the integral natural complexes of the Ostroh Pass valley is also important for the protection of numerous species listed in Resolution 6 of the Berne Convention and other protected lists.

The site includes the western part of the Sea of Azov.The Sea of Azov has a complex of unique characteristics, which determines the existence of a rare biota here, including some endemic species. The Sea of Azov is the shallowest sea in the world with an average depth of 7 metres (23 ft) and maximum depth of 14 metres (46 ft); in the bays, where silt has built up, the average depth is about 1 metre (3 ft). The sea bottom is also relatively flat with the depth gradually increasing from the coast to the centre. The Sea of Azov is an internal sea with passage to the Atlantic Ocean going through the Black, Marmara, Aegean and Mediterranean seas. It is connected to the Black Sea by the Strait of Kerch, which at its narrowest has a width of 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) and a maximum depth of 15 metres (49 ft).[The narrowness of the Kerch Strait limits the water exchange with the Black Sea. As a result, the salinity of the Sea of Azov is low; in the open sea it is 10–12 psu, about one third of the salinity of the oceans.The sea is relatively small and nearly surrounded by land. Therefore, its climate is continental with cold winters and hot and dry summers. Average water temperatures are 0–1 °C in winter (2–3 °C in the Kerch Strait) and 24–25 °C in summer, with a maximum of about 28 °C on the open sea and above 30 °C near the shores. The sea shores and spits are low; they are rich in vegetation and bird colonies.Historically, the sea has had rich marine life, both in variety, with over 80 fish and 300 invertebrate species identified, and in numbers. Consequently, fishing has long been a major activity in the area. This was partly due to extremely high biological productivity of the sea, which was stimulated by the strong supply of nutrients from numerous rivers feeding the sea, low water salinity, ample heating due to shallow waters and long vegetation period. However, diversity and numbers have been reduced due to anthropogenic pressure. In the Sea of Azov, the bottom and shores are mainly formed by sandy and muddy sediments. Typical shores are characterized by sandy splits and long sandy shores with psammophytic vegetation. Communities of marine grasses are formed in bays on mobile subsrats (5 species, all listed in the IUCN Red List), which play a huge role as a biotope for rare fish and invertebrate species. In the southern part, along the Crimean coast, there are areas with hard substrates, whichare centers of biodiversity. First of all, it is worth highlighting the unique aquatic complex around the rocky shores of the Kazantip Peninsula.It is rocky and deeply cut cape of bryozoan-limestone origin with steep, pebble-boulder and detritus-coquina coasts. The sea sublittoral on shoals (depth up to 3 m) with the stony bottom is densely inhabited by macrophytes (their total biomass reaches about 3 kg/sq.m.), predominantly algae Cystoseira barbata and C. crinita, which form a unique biotope and (unlike the Black Sea) are quite rare in the Sea of Azov. In bays there are communities of vascular plants Zannichellia major and Zostera noltii.Among this vegetation, such rare fish species as Huso huso ponticus, Hippocampus guttulatus microstephanus, Umbrina cirrosa, Trigla lucerna spawn. The Sea of Azov, as well the whole Black Sea region, is inhabited by a geographically isolated subspecies of the harbour porpoise, Phocoena phocoena relicta Abel, 1905. The Azov porpoises stay in the Azov Sea throughout the reproductive season in summer and leave the Sea of Azov for winter, migrating to the Black Sea through the Kerch Strait.The peaks of migration movements, varying from year to year, are between March and April and between October and November and associated with the migration peaks of the Azov anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus maeoticus).Furthermore, there is a separate population of the harbor porpoise in the Sea of Azov which is distinct for its morphology and life history.The population is endangered due to incidental bycatches in fishing gears,especially in gill netswith a large proportion of illegal (poaching) as well as abandoned nets (so-called «phantom fishing»).Bycatch impact is irregular in mid-term perspective; however, it is extremely great, and the risk of extinction is high for the Azov populationBlack Sea bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus ponticusBarabash-Nikiforov, 1940)inhabits the Black Sea and the Black Sea part of the Kerch Strait and also appears to enter the Sea of Azov rarely but regularly.Among birds species from Resolution 6 the following should be additionally mentioned, but without population assessment: Anser erythropus (A042), Ardea purpurea (A029), Charadrius alexandrinus (A138), Chlidonias hybridus (A196), Chlidonias niger (A197), Egretta alba (A027), Egretta garzetta (A026), Gelochelidon nilotica (A189), Grus grus (A127), Himantopus himantopus (A131), Larus genei (A180), Larus melanocephalus (A176), Larus minutus (A177), Phalacrocorax pygmeus (A393), Philomachus pugnax (A151), Recurvirostra avosetta (A132), Sterna albifrons (A195), Sterna caspia (A190), Sterna hirundo (A193), Sterna sandvicensis (A191), Tadorna ferruginea (A397), Gavia arctica (A002), Pandion haliaetus (A094)..

OTHERCHARACT:
This territory is important as a key area of ??the Dnieper eco-corridor and the regional eco-network of Kyiv region, as well as the eco-network of the city of Kyiv. Over the centuries, the nature of Kyiv has been strongly affected by anthropogenic impact due to residential and industrial development, development of transport infrastructure, construction of Kyiv and Kaniv reservoirs, reclamation works etc. The green zones of the city (forests, islands, parks, etc.) form the basis of the ecological network and nature reserve fund (NRF) of Kyiv. Today, areas and facilities valuable for the conservation of biodiversity have faced such threats and negative impacts as: the destruction of green areas for construction buildings, hydronomic works for the extraction of sand and for the construction of new houses, felling of trees, recreational loads, pollution, waste from floating hotel restaurants, solid waste accumulation, burning of dry grass, jeeping and ATV rides, noise pollution, including rock festivals during the nesting season of birds and the use of fireworks. Within the dense urban development, which has led to significant fragmentation of green areas and an increase in anthropogenic pressure, large-scale NRF facilities are absent. Natural areas in the territory of botanical gardens, arboretums, park complexes, groves, some of which are objects of the nature reserve fund, play an important role in the functioning of the ecological network.

The proposed site includes little-known Ukrainian and very incompletely explored areas of the Avash Mountains volcanic ridge bordering Romania - the southwestern outskirts of the Vygorlat-Hutyn ridge. The predominant areas of the mountains are typical natural, often of different ages, forest groups of the northern megaslope of the Volcanic Carpathians, which still retain their original features and are anthropogenically little transformed. Forests are formed mainly by pure and, less often, mixed beech forests. On the steep, often rocky slopes, small areas are occupied by maple and ash mixed with linden and elm forests. Significant parts of the ancient areas of these forests are of special value as massifs of still existing beech and mixed beech virgin forests, which are usually confined to the higher hypsometric heights of the ridge, where they are preserved mainly on hard-to-reach, apical areas of steep and very steep slopes. Today it is one of the last remnants of virgin forests on the Vigorlat-Gutyn volcanic ridge within Ukraine. The virgin forests in the Avash Mountains are of exceptional conservation importance as unique primary natural areas that have survived in one of the most developed and ancient anthropogenically transformed regions.Particular attention should be paid to forests on the steep and very steep southern slopes of single mountains, where the predominant areas are mixed beech, beech-ash-maple and linden-maple-ash forests. Areas of mixed ancient beech-oak forests are of special interest and exceptional value.The vegetation is characterized by single volcanic domes with very steep slopes, where large areas are still occupied by ancient beech and mixed beech, oak-beech and beech-oak forests, which are important for conservation. In the southern warmest apical areas, pure oak forests were found, forming a rare for the Ukrainian Carpathians group of light dry oak forests with a predominance of thermophilic species in the grass cover, as well as a small array of very rare and unique for the Ukrainian Carpathians biotope of Central European thermophiles. high plant diversity and growth of many rare species listed in the Red Book of Ukraine Areas of groups of thermophilic oak forests in the Avash Mountains, preserved only in small areas, have a relict character.Despite their small size, all large Carpathian predators sporadically occur in the Avash Mountains - wolf, lynx, brown bear, wild cat, so this area is extremely important for their preservation and provision of cross-border migration routes.Along with the unparalleled value of the massif as a site representing both typical and endangered relict forest natural complexes, coenotic and biotope diversity of the northern megaslope of the eastern part of the Avash Mountains, a significant center of species diversity of this mountain range, the designed site is an important territory) of the ecological network in the conditions of the developed and densely populated region of the Marmarosh basin and acts as a connecting link between mountain and plain natural complexes.

OTHERCHARACT:
The proposed site represents the unique territories of the transboundary Ukrainian-Hungarian floodplain forest complex, where elm-ash groves formed in the conditions of periodic flooding are still preserved. Of exceptional importance are the remnants of alder-ash forests preserved in the massif with the transition to pure alders, today almost extinct in the Pannonian region of Ukraine and contact with them middle forest swamps and marshes. The array is a significant center of species diversity, including and rare species listed in the Red Book of Ukraine and in the regional red list of species. The forest tract is an important geospatial node (key territory) of the ecological network in the conditions of the developed and densely populated region. In this perspective, the massif acquires special significance as part of the cross-border Ukrainian-Hungarian natural object, the Hungarian part of which is a protected object (protected landscape area) and forms one of the few in the Pannonian region powerful nodes connecting Ukraine's eco-network with Hungary's eco-network.

OTHERCHARACT:
The proposed site includes a unique array of xerothermic oak forest on Chernecha Hill on northern edge around Mukachevo, which is an important center for the concentration of significant biodiversity, in particular, numerous rare species listed in the Red book of Ukraine (primarily the Lathyrus transsilvanicus (Spreng.) Rchb. - the only locality in Ukraine!) and the regional red list, significant coenotic diversity and unique importance habitats. The high diversity of grass cover is characteristic, and the specific combination of a significant percentage of xerothermophilic species in the cover and the participation of mountain (montan) and immoral-montan elements indicate the florohistorical value of the massif as a compact zone of interpenetration (transgression) of thermophilic forest-steppe forest and steppe vegetation. Located at the intersection of mountain ridges and river eco-corridors, the forest should be considered as one of the most important geospatial nodes (key areas) of the projected eco-network and migration contact between the alpine (volcanic foothills of the Carpathians) and Pannonian biogeographical areas.

Landscapes of the Southern Bug river valley in the vicinity of Voznesensk are mainly represented by steppes and scrubs on valley slopes, sandy grasslands on the sand terrace, riverbed and floodplain. Also large steppe gulleys with limestone outcrops are included to the site.Zonal steppes are dominated by Agropyron pectinatum, Festuca valesiaca, Stipa capillata, Stipa lessingiana, Galatella villosa. There are Caragana scythica, Genista scythica, Tulipa biebersteiniana, Crocus reticulatus and other rare plant species of the steppes. Also, well-preserved steppe vegetation on limestone outcrops is distributed on the site. This vegetation is characteristic for Black Sea Lowland. Sands and sandy grasslands are important for the conservation of rare and endemic species: Stipa borysthenica, Alyssum savranicum, Thymus pallasianus, Jurinea cyanoides, Allium savranicum. Floodplain meadows, which are rare for the Steppic region, were well-presented in the site before. Now they are almost totally lost due to grassland removal for arable lands (up to 90% of floodplain areas are transformed into fields) and creation of large reservoirs in upper parts of Southern Bug river valley (this caused lack of spring floodings, increasing of water salinity and other changes). Also, other great threat to the existence of the object is afforestation. Artificial forests occupy up to 95% of the territory, which was covered by sandy vegetation before, and up to 40% of the territory of zonal steppes. Therefore, restoration of disturbed natural ecosystems is critically needed for the site territory.Also the habitat of C3.2 type (50 ha) is presented within the proposed site territory.

OTHERCHARACT:
The site includes territories around the tracts of Kanaka and Kamyshly, as well as the adjacent marine area. The Kanaka gulch (and the tract of the same name) originates on the southeastern slopes of the Karabi-Yaila massif and opens into the Black Sea four kilometers northeast of the village Rybache. The tract "Kanaka" refers to the belt of coastal xerophytic juniper-oak forests and shrubbery. Here, in the coastal strip up to 300-350 m, the ancient Mediterranean flora has been preserved.The climate of the region is arid with hot summers and very mild winters. In the Kanaka gulch along the steep erosion slopes of Mount Yantur, a unique grove of relic juniper-oak woodland with a Pistacia mutica Fisch. has been preserved. With an increase in altitude in richer edaphic conditions, Quercus pubescens dominates in these hemixerophytic woodlands. Old-growth trees of Juniperus excelsa Bieb. listed in the Red Book of Ukraine, reach 300-400 years within the proposed site, and several hundred individual trees are 600-800 years of age, and therefore are of great scientific interest. Juniper-pistachio woodland descends along the slope of the mountain to the sea. Aligned plateau-like peaks of the ridge sections are the mountain steppe formed on the site of a forest cut down here in the past. This unique old-growth forest has been preserved due to the presence of strongly eroded, steep slopes, the absence of access roads in the past, the abundance of talus and the availability of other forests around marine coastal villages. At the mouth of the gulch  there is an extensive bay of about 3 km wide. It is bordered by a sand and gravel-pebble beach, which feeds on solid material coming during floods from the gulch channel. Steep slopes, ridges, descend to the beach, landslide, are washed away by surface runoff. Loams are underlain by the tauric stratum of interbedded sandstones and shales. Boulder-pebble deposits cover the seabed near the shore at the top of the bay, closer to capes they are replaced by boulder-block deposits, which in places alternate with continuous outcrops of sandstone and schists in the form of large flat plates. In the study area, algal vegetation develops on a solid substrate (boulder and block-boulder bulk), local areas with loose soils are devoid of vegetation. At depths of up to 3 m, Phaeophyta dominates the biomass (6-98%): the community of Cystoseira crinita that grows on boulders requires special protection. From 5 m and deeper, dominance passes to the Rhodophyta, primarily due to the massive growth of Phyllophora crispa.

As a result of splitting an Annex I habitat to more than one Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat it is not possible to recalculate a ‘true’ Representativity score.The following Annex I habitat(s) were fully translated into a Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat: Annex I habitat 4010 Northern Atlantic wet heaths with Erica tetralix translated into Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat F4.1 Wet heaths; Annex I habitat 4030 European dry heaths translated into Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat F4.2 Dry heaths; Annex I habitat 4080 Sub-Arctic Salix spp. scrub translated into Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat F2.32 Subalpine and oroboreal Salix brush; Annex I habitat 6130 Calaminarian grasslands of the Violetalia calaminariae translated into Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat E1.B Heavy-metal grassland; Annex I habitat 6430 Hydrophilous tall herb fringe communities of plains and of the montane to alpine levels translated into Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat E5.5 Subalpine moist or wet tall-herb and fern stands; Annex I habitat 7130 Blanket bogs (* if active bog) translated into Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat D1.2 Blanket bogs; Annex I habitat 7140 Transition mires and quaking bogs translated into Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat D2.3 Transition mires and quaking bogs; Annex I habitat 7230 Alkaline fens translated into Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat D4.1 Rich fens, including eutrophic tall-herb fens and calcareous flushes and soaks; Annex I habitat 7240 Alpine pioneer formations of Caricion bicoloris-atrofuscae translated into Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat D4.2 Basic mountain flushes and streamsides, with a rich arctic-montane flora; Annex I habitat 8110 Siliceous scree of the montane to snow levels (Androsacetalia alpinae and Galeopsietalia ladani) translated into Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat H2.3 Temperate-montane acid siliceous screes; Annex I habitat 8120 Calcareous and calcshist screes of the montane to alpine levels (Thlaspietea rotundifolii) translated into Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat H2.4 Temperate-montane calcareous and ultra-basic screes; Annex I habitat 8210 Calcareous rocky slopes with chasmophytic vegetation translated into Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat H3.2 Basic and ultra-basic inland cliffs; Annex I habitat 8220 Siliceous rocky slopes with chasmophytic vegetation translated into Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat H3.1 Acid siliceous inland cliffs.The following Annex I habitat(s) were split into Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitats: Annex I habitat 6150 Siliceous alpine and boreal grasslands was translated to Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitats E4.11 Boreo-alpine acidocline snow-patch grassland and herb habitats and E4.3 Acid alpine and subalpine grassland. The area of the Annex I habitat 6150 was 1040.17 hectares. It was not possible to divide the area of the Annex I habitat(s) between the Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitats to which the Annex I habitat(s) has been translated.The following Annex I habitats have a many to many relationship between Annex I habitats and Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitats. In effect, at least one of the Annex I features is split, and then part of the split is merged with the translation of another Annex I feature: Annex I habitats 4060 Alpine and Boreal heaths and 6170 Alpine and subalpine calcareous grasslands were translated to Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitats E4.12 Boreo-alpine calcicline snow-patch grassland and herb habitats and F2.2 Evergreen alpine and subalpine heath and scrub. This means the relationship between these Annex I and Resolution No. 4 (1996) features is very complex. It was not possible to divide the area of the Annex I habitats between the Resolution No. 4 (1996) EUNIS habitats to which the Annex I habitats have been translated.It was not possible to translate the following Annex I habitat(s): Annex I habitat 6230 Species-rich Nardus grasslands, on siliceous substrates in mountain areas (and submountain areas, in Continental Europe) as, according to UK national experts, it matches with EUNIS habitat E1.72 Agrostis - Festuca grassland which is not listed on Resolution No. 4 (1996). The area of the Annex I habitat 6230 was 15.6 hectares.  European dry heaths for which the area is considered to support a significant presence.  Alpine and Boreal heaths for which this is considered to be one of the best areas in the United Kingdom.  Sub-Arctic Salix spp. scrub for which this is considered to be one of the best areas in the United Kingdom. which is considered to be rare as its total extent in the United Kingdom is estimated to be less than 10 hectares.  Calaminarian grasslands of the Violetalia calaminariae for which this is considered to be one of the best areas in the United Kingdom.  Siliceous alpine and boreal grasslands for which this is considered to be one of the best areas in the United Kingdom.  Species-rich Nardus grassland, on siliceous substrates in mountain areas (and submountain areas in continental Europe) for which the area is considered to support a significant presence.  Alkaline fens for which the area is considered to support a significant presence.  Siliceous scree of the montane to snow levels (Androsacetalia alpinae and Galeopsietalia ladani) for which the area is considered to support a significant presence.  Calcareous and calcshist screes of the montane to alpine levels (Thlaspietea rotundifolii) for which this is considered to be one of the best areas in the United Kingdom. which is considered to be rare as its total extent in the United Kingdom is estimated to be less than 1000 hectares.  Calcareous rocky slopes with chasmophytic vegetation for which this is considered to be one of the best areas in the United Kingdom. which is considered to be rare as its total extent in the United Kingdom is estimated to be less than 1000 hectares.  Siliceous rocky slopes with chasmophytic vegetation for which the area is considered to support a significant presence.  Alpine pioneer formations of the Caricion bicoloris-atrofuscae for which this is considered to be one of the best areas in the United Kingdom. which is considered to be rare as its total extent in the United Kingdom is estimated to be less than 1000 hectares.  Blanket bogs for which this is considered to be one of the best areas in the United Kingdom.  Hydrophilous tall herb fringe communities of plains and of the montane to alpine levels for which this is considered to be one of the best areas in the United Kingdom. which is considered to be rare as its total extent in the United Kingdom is estimated to be less than 1000 hectares.
