We are Ukrainian NGO aimed to consolidate efforts of experts and scientists to protect Biodiversity and support the network of Protected Areas in Ukraine.

The Ukrainian Nature Conservation Group (UNCG) was founded in 2014 by a team of nature conservation practitioners. In 2018, UNCG acquired the official status of a non-profit public organization.

The Organization plays a leading role in the establishment of protected areas, biodiversity monitoring and promotion of sustainable use of natural resources. Over the past six years, at least a half of all protected areas established in Ukraine had UNCG members among the authors of scientific justifications or were actively supported by its members.
