Development of Remote Sensing and GIS Materials to Support the Annual National Report on the State of the Environment in Ukraine and the Fifth Ministerial Conference "Environment for Europe"

After the event of The United Nations Conference on Development and the Environment, known as "R³î-92", at which Ukraine's first National Environmental State Report, including the section on plants and animals was presented, the reporting process has been improving. Every year, Ukraine was publishing a national environmental state report. In 1997, the first target national biodiversity state report was published and in 1998, it was presented together with the Concept of the National Program on Biodiversity Conservation at the 4th CBD Conference of the Parties in Bratislava.

For the past decade, an active introduction of technologies into the sphere of information dissemination, as well as environmental mapping has had a revolutionary importance. Nowadays, thorough study and comparison of the historical and up-to-date information, and materials, acquired from the Internet and other sources, indicate that Ukraine has already a much higher informational and scientific potential on biodiversity than the one registered at the time of Rio-92.

From December 2002 through May 2003, ULRMC participated in the development of the materials for Section 3.6. Biological Diversity of Ukraine for Ukraine's National Report on Integration of Social Life and the Environment at the request of the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources of Ukraine (MENRU) about contributing materials to the national report for the 5th Pan-European Ministerial Conference "Environment for Europe", held in Kyiv on May 21-23, 2003. As a result, this section was included into Ukraine's National Report on Integration of Social Life and the Environment. This was the fourth national report for which ULRMC has provided illustrations, thematic maps, developed using remote sensing data and GIS, as well as text, at the official request of MENRU.
