Site Conservation Actions
2006
Ukrainian Society for the Protection of Birds continues to implement
Site Conservation Actions under the IBA Programme in Ukraine in 2006. Traditionally,
projects are selected by experts on the competitive basis. According to the selection
criteria of the PIN Matra project that supports financially winners of the competition,
the site conservation activity should be aimed at resolving certain conservation
problems at IBAs and implementing conservation management objectives at the sites.
This year, last round of the competition was conducted at two
stages in late winter, when two groups of projects were selected — projects implemented
during December 2005 – March 2006 and projects implemented in spring 2006. As
in previous years, selected projects involve different conservation issues, for
example, carrying out biotechnical and hydro–engineering measures at IBAs, conducting
awareness raising and educational campaigns, improving site management, promoting
IBAs at the regional levels, and building IBA coordinators and caretakers networks,
etc.
Generally, 12 projects have been selected for implementation,
including project, selected in 2005, and one project has been canceled.
