In 2014, a group of Ukrainian biologists united to preserve the wild nature of Ukraine. In 2018, we officially registered as the nonprofit non-governmental organization “Ukrainian Nature Conservation Group”, now gathering more than 50 nature conservation professionals and activists from all over Ukraine.

We create protected areas, work to improve Ukrainian legislation, and identify cases of illegal destruction of nature.

We are leaders in the field of protected areas: 75% of the protected areas created in the country over the past ten years have been established through our organization’s efforts.

We can act and achieve results thanks to your support. Please support our work for the benefit of Ukraine’s wildlife during the war!
