Ukraine has taken a significant step toward environmental conservation by establishing a national nature park in a forest region that was repressed nearly a century ago. This initiative, announced by Victor Smal, the Head of the State Agency of Forest Resources, aims to restore ecological balance and protect the area’s biodiversity. The decision reflects a broader effort to address historical injustices related to the region’s natural resources.
The park will be managed to ensure sustainable practices and ecological rehabilitation, with a focus on preserving unique flora and fauna. Smal emphasized that this move is part of Ukraine’s commitment to environmental stewardship and long-term conservation. The project is expected to contribute to the country’s ecological resilience and support local communities through eco-tourism and sustainable development initiatives.
