In such cities as Kyiv is and
not far from them there is an especially actual
problem of natural environment degradation and
loss of biological diversity. A situation
becomes complicated because of the number of
population grew much for relatively short time
interval. Regarding for an intensive
anthropogenic influence (different pollution
ways, intensive building, recreation pressure
and etc.), Kyiv forest-parks with the area of
hundreds hectares are of great importance from
point of view of environment protection.
Among the biological diversity
decrease factors one can pick out a territorial
transformation of biotopes (from fragmentation
to their full annihilation) as well as
recreation pressure, pollution (including
acoustic). The addition to them is uncontrolled
wild plant picking, fishing for
sale.
