Occurrence of species of animals listed in the Red Book of Ukraine on the territory of the "Medobory" nature reserve and in the adjacent territories in 2021

Study Extent

The research was conducted during 2021 on the territory of the "Medobory" nature reserve and the surrounding area (within the Tovtry range and adjacent territories). Data on the occurrence of animals listed in the Red Book of Ukraine were collected mainly by the authors of the report. Some of the records were recorded as a result of the analysis of observation cards of the reserve's scientists. Data on bats in the "Pearl" cave were provided by speleologists of the "Crystal" speleo-club.

Sampling

Rare species of animals were recorded visually during regular route surveys and observations, followed by in-house processing in accordance with the Program of the Annals of Nature for Reserves and National Nature Parks (https://zakon.rada.gov.ua/rada/show/v465_737-02#n12 ). Locations of rare species were recorded by GPS devices and a Lenovo tablet using the Locus Map program.
