Bicycle rental launched in Zacharovanyi Krai National Nature Park

Project News

With the sup­port of the Frank­furt Zoo­log­i­cal Soci­ety, a new bicy­cle rental ser­vice has been launched at the Zacharovanyi Krai Nation­al Nature Park in order to pro­mote eco­tourism and sus­tain­able access.

This ini­tia­tive enables vis­i­tors to explore the park’s dis­tinc­tive land­scapes in an eco-friend­ly man­ner and involves the local com­mu­ni­ty in nature-based tourism. The FZS pro­vid­ed tech­ni­cal and finan­cial assis­tance to help the park set up the ser­vice, includ­ing buy­ing bicy­cles and sup­port­ing infra­struc­ture.

By offer­ing an alter­na­tive to motor­ized trans­port, the bicy­cle rental encour­ages vis­i­tors to reduce their car­bon foot­print while enjoy­ing the nat­ur­al beau­ty of the Carpathi­ans. It also cre­ates new oppor­tu­ni­ties for local employ­ment and small busi­ness­es linked to sus­tain­able tourism.

This forms part of the FZS’s wider efforts to enhance the man­age­ment of pro­tect­ed areas and encour­age low-impact tourism in the Ukrain­ian Carpathi­ans. By improv­ing vis­i­tor ser­vices, the project con­tributes to con­ser­va­tion and local devel­op­ment goals.

Conservation of highly valuable primeval and old-growth forests in selected national parks in the Ukrainian Carpathians

The Ukrain­ian Carpathi­ans are strong­holds for primeval and old-growth forests in Europe, but face pres­sure from large scale log­ging. Pro­tect­ed areas (PAs) in these forests now also face an acute exis­ten­tial threat as gov­ern­ment fund­ing has all but ceased as a result of the eco­nom­ic pres­sures stem­ming from the Russ­ian inva­sion.
