Rare species of flora and fauna of Ukrainian Carpathians. Version 1.3. Frankfurt Zoological Society - Ukraine. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/9cs6uk accessed via GBIF.org on 2024-12-13.

Description

The dataset contains information on the distribution of plant and animal species listed in the Red Data Book of Ukraine and Resolution 6 of the Bern Convention. The database contains species from the 11 taxonomic groups. The information in the dataset was collected on the territory of 11 protected areas: Cheremosky, Verkhovynsky, Vizhnytsky, Hutsulshchyna, Carpathian, Synevyr, Skolivski Beskydy, Uzhansky, Zacharovanyi Krai National Nature Parks and Gorgany Natural Reserve, all located in the Ukrainian Carpathians, as well as Yavorivsky National Nature Park, located in the Roztochya region. Some points are located in areas adjacent to these protected areas, including areas proposed for expansion. The dataset contains information mainly from archival sources, such as the Chronicles of Nature of National Nature Parks and Natural Reserves as well as data from the authors' field research.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

The data were collected mainly by experts from the Frankfurt Zoological Society (FZS) in cooperation with protected areas staff within the framework of the projects Support for Nature Protected Areas (SNPA Project), implemented within the framework of the German Financial Cooperation (FC), funded by the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) through the German State Development Bank KfW, and Conservation of Highly Valuable Primeval and Old Growth Forests in Selected National Parks of the Ukrainian Carpathians (IKI Project), part of the International Climate Change Programme. The data colelcted covers the territory of 11 big objects of nature reserve fund of Ukraine situated within the Carpathian mountains on the territory of Lviv, Zakarpattia, Ivano-Frankivsk and Chernivtsi administrative regions of Ukraine. The data was collected from the field as well as from previousely published sources of so-called "grey literature" and personal observations of the experts made in previous years. Also some parts of the dataset contain information mainly from archival sources, such as the Chronicles of Nature of National Nature Parks and Natural Reserves (up to 1900s).

Sampling

The data were collected to produce thematic maps of rare flora and fauna distribution as part of the preparation of territory organization projects (management plans). For the field survey data, the coordinates were determined directly in the field using GPS navigators or appropriate mobile applications. For archival data, the coordinates were determined approximately using the Google Earth program or Google maps (WGS 84 system).

Quality Control

Data arrangement and verification was carried out in cooperation of FZS experts with experts from the Ukrainian Nature Conservation Group (UNCG).
