Abstract

The article presents the ecological and geographical characteristics of the protected areas of the Zgar river basin, which covers an area of 1170 km2 and belongs to the Southern Bug river basin. This is due to the need to preserve biotic and landscape diversity in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressure on various types of natural ecosystems within the basin. The studied area is distinguished by its unique natural resources, which perform important ecological, water protection and social functions. The landscape feature of the Zgar river basin is significant forest cover (40.16% of the catchment area) and wetlands (6.1%). However, intensive economic activity, which is caused by significant agricultural development of the basin, the development of residential areas and global climate change, leads to the degradation of various types of natural ecosystems and threatens the preservation of the entire unique biotic diversity of the studied region. In today’s conditions, studying the state of protected areas, their impact on ecological balance, as well as determining ways to optimize environmental protection measures is an important stage in the development of strategies for the preservation of protected areas. Analysis of the ecological and geographical features of protected areas and territories of the Zgar river basin will allow assessing their potential in the context of sustainable development of territorial communities of the East-Podilskyi region, ensuring environmental stability and increasing the effectiveness of environmental protection activities.
