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.
