On November 2, 2017, the Training and Scientific Institute of Bohdan Khmelnytski Cherkassy National University hosted the first, introductory training seminar within the course “Ukraine as an Element of the Pan-European Nature Protection Space”. EPL environmental scientist Petro Testov informed students majoring in environmental studies and biology about the main approaches to environmental protection management in Ukraine and the world using real cases.
Within the framework of the course, a number of theoretical and practical classes devoted to various aspects of nature conservation are planned. In particular, it is planned to do survey of various natural objects, focus on basics of forest management, identification of habitats, preparation of scientific substantiation for the creation of protected areas and proposals for management of protected areas, etc.
The training of practitioners in the field of nature protection becomes especially relevant as a result of the introduction of European environmental legislation in Ukraine, in particular environmental impact assessment procedures, and creation of the European network of protected areas called Emerald Network.
That is why it is very important, at the stage of preparation of future specialists, to familiarize them with the best world and Ukrainian practices in the field of nature protection.
The next training seminar will focus on the basics of forest management and specific features of forest management in Ukraine, the United States and EU countries.
