New findings of a rare and endangered species Thalictrum foetidum L. (Ranunculaceae) in the steppe zone of Ukraine are reported. For the territory of the "Buzky Guard" National Natural Park in the Mykolaiv region, we rediscovered the only known locality from this area in the vicinity of Bogdanivka village. Also, we found a new locality near the Lviv village. In the National Natural Park “Kamianska Sich” we found a new for the Kherson Region and southernmost in Ukraine locality of Th. foetidum. We give the description of these localities, their ecological and syntaxonomical peculiarities. In general, all the localities we found in the steppe zone are characterized by the presence of outcrops as granitic ones on the territory of "Buzky Gard" National Nature Park and limestone outcrops on the territory of "Kamyanska Sich" National Nature Park. All the populations were overgrown with shrubs and were shaded. All of them occurred on steep and medium-steep slopes (20–60°) of the northern and north-eastern exposures. On the territory of "Kamyanska Sich" National Nature Park Th. foetidum grows in communities of the class Festuco-Brometea Br.-Bl. et Tx. ex Soo 1947. In the "Buzky Guard" National Nature Park the syntaxonomic position of Th. foetidum is much more diverse. In addition to steppe communities, it was also found in communities of the class Crataego-Prunetea Tx. 1962, transitional vegetation between Crataego-Prunetea and Festuco-Brometea, as well as in communities of chasmophytic vegetation of classes Asplenietea trichomanis (Br.-Bl. in Meier et Br.-Bl. 1934) Oberd. 1977 and Polypodietea Jurko et Peciar ex Boșcaiu, Gergely et Codoreanu in Rațiu et al. 1966. Th. foetidum in the steppe zone is extremely rare and therefore its populations require further study and application of conservation measures. Повідомляється про нові місцезнаходження рідкісного виду рослин, включеного до Червоної книги України – Thalictrum foetidum L. (Ranunculaceae) на території степової зони України. Для території Національного природного парку «Бузький Гард» в Миколаївській області підтверджено відоме місцезнаходження в околицях села Богданівка та виявлено новий локалітет в околицях села Львів. На території Національного природного парку «Кам’янська Січ» в Херсонській області Th. foetidum був виявлений нами вперше. Також вид наводиться нами вперше для території Херсонської області. Дане місцезнаходження є найпівденнішим із усіх відомих в Україні. Подається характеристика умов місцезростання популяцій виду в степовій зоні України та приводиться їх синтаксономічна приуроченість. Загалом, для всіх виявлених нами місцезнаходжень Th. foetidum у степовій зоні характерним є наявність відслонень (кристалічних на території Національного природного парку «Бузький Гард» та вапнякових на території Національного природного парку «Кам’янська Січ»), заростання чагарниками та затінення. Усі локалітети траплялися на крутих і середньо-крутих схилах (20–60°) північної та північно-східної експозиції. На території Національного природного парку «Кам’янська Січ» Th. foetidum зростає в угрупованнях класу Festuco-Brometea Br.-Bl. et Tx. ex Soo 1947. В межах Національного природного парку «Бузький Гард» синтаксономічна приуроченість Th. foetidum значно різноманітніша. Крім степових угруповань він виявлений також в ценозах класу Crataego-Prunetea Tx. 1962 та перехідних між класами Crataego-Prunetea і Festuco-Brometea, а також в угрупованнях хазмофітної рослинності класів Asplenietea trichomanis (Br.-Bl. in Meier et Br.-Bl. 1934) Oberd. 1977 та Polypodietea Jurko et Peciar ex Boșcaiu, Gergely et Codoreanu in Rațiu et al. 1966. Th. foetidum в степовій зоні є надзвичайно рідкісним і тому його популяції потребують подальшого вивчення та застосування природоохоронних заходів у разі потреби.

The Emerald Network of Ukraine provides the preservation of the most valuable and typical components of landscape and biotic diversity, including the habitats of rare and endangered species of plants. In order to ensure the effective protection of biodiversity, within the boundaries of natural or anthropogenically modified territories, the necessary condition for their flora diversity should be its study. One of the territories that is the central link in the structure of the ecological network of Ukraine is the Dnipro Ecological Corridor. Within the Dnipro ecological corridor of the forest–steppe of Ukraine are located 11 objects of the Emerald network, which is 4% of their total number in Ukraine, which are characterized by specific biotope–ecotope characteristics and which consist of a significant number of populations of endangered and rare plant species. As a result of the analysis the objects of the Emerald network, 33 habitats from Resolution No. 4 of the Bern Convention were identified (C1.222, C1.223, C1.224, C1.225, C1.226, C1.25, C1.32, C1.33, C1.3411, C1.3413, C1.67, C2.33, C2.34, C3.4, C3.51 (but excluding C3.5131), D5.2, E1.2, E1.9, E2.2, E3.4, E5.4, E6.2, F3.247, F9.1, G1.11, G1.21, G1.22, G1.3, G1.7, G1.8, G1.A1, G3.4232, X35) and 69 species of vascular plants, that belong to such protective lists : Annex I of the Bern Convention – 12, Resolution No. 6 of the Emerald Network – 11, the Red Book of Ukraine – 56 and the European Red List – 8 species. In Emerald objects, they are distributed in this way: Kanivskyi Nature Reserve – 40 species and 25 habitats, Holosiivskyi National Nature Park – 29 and 23, Nyzhnovorsklianskyi Regional Landscape Park – 26 and 21, Nyzhniosulskyi National Nature Park – 27 and 28, Kremenchutski Plavni Regional Landscape Park – 5 and 19, Kremenchutske Reservoir – 17 and 28, Kanivske Reservoir – 16 and 27, Dniprodzerzhynske Reservoir – 5 and 21, Ponyzia Stuhny – 8 and 10, Cherkaskyi Bir – 17 and 17, Mykhailivskyi – 10 and 22, respectively. Preservation and reproduction of rare species is one of the main tasks of creation the protected areas and ecological networks. An overview of the specific features of these objects and the existing conditions for conservation of biodiversity in general suggests that the considered areas, despite their very significant anthropogenic transformation, can be considered as important aspect of preservation and reproduction of rare vegetation diversity in the scale of the plains of Ukraine.

The authors have studied herbaceous communities in the steppe landscapes of the Beshpagir Heights and this paper presents the results of this study. The floristic and ecological structure of phytocoenoses on limestone outcrops of the parent rock is discussed. As a result of the research carried out in 20192020, 185 species of higher plants were identified in the modern flora of the studied steppes. There are descriptions of 16 accounting sites. A phytocoenotic table is presented, a characteristic of communities is given and their structure is described. The abundance of species and the distribution by relief elements and communities were determined by experts on the basis of field information. The features of communities and the reasons for their spatial differentiation are revealed. It has been suggested that the factors determining a diversity of steppe vegetation in the studied region should be the following ones: the degree of destruction of the parent rock and soil development, high insolation and low ecotope moisture. The steppe communities are distinguished by their species richness and are of significant conservation interest; they include such rare and endangered species as Psephellus annae, Stipa pulcherrima, S. pennata, Scabiosa isetensis, S. micrantha, Medicago cancellata, Astragalus bungeanus, A. pseudotataricus, A. calycinus, Iris pumila, I. notha, Erodium stevenii, Thymus daghestanicus, Gypsophila glomerata, Allium inaequale, etc. The authors have shown that the studied steppes are important for the preservation of the biological diversity of the region; habitats of rare species are of scientific importance. By this research the authors have tried to emphasize the regional specificity of the studied communities, due to the geographical, ecological-coenotic and historical features. The results obtained will make it possible to assess the real phytocoenotic diversity of the steppe complex of the region, as well as to update further work on the inventory and monographic generalization of vegetation materials of the Stavropol territory. The typology of steppe vegetation can be detailed in further work.

In modern biology, a search for efficient and safe ways of long-term storage of animal genomes is vital for the survival of rare and endangered species. To date, the only reliable method of prolonging the preservation of genome is deep freezing of somatic and reproductive cells, including spermatozoa. Here we overview the current state of reproductive technologies and present the cryopresevation strategies of genetic material of selected amphibian species. These strategies were developed at the Institute of Cell Biophysics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Pushchino, Russia. Cryopreservation could help managing the threatened populations of amphibian species through genome storage and mediate the production of healthy animals from the stored material.

Впервые в мире создана популяция зубров на территории 60 градусов северной широты. В новых климатических условиях разведения и сохранения зубров определены и проанализированы факторы существования вида на севере Европейской части РФ. Выявлены признаки, динамика численности, которые являются составной частью системы, предназначенной для управления биоразнообразием. Интродукция, являясь процессом введения в экосистему нехарактерных для нее видов, может усиливать изменения биоценозов как положительно, так и отрицательно. Насколько быстро и успешно проходит процесс адаптации заселенного вида, и усматривается его влияние на окружающую среду зависит дальнейшее существование зубров и в целом биоразнообразия. В статье обсуждаются вопросы взаимоотношения зубров с другими видами копытных и хозяйственной деятельностью человека, а также дальнейшим использованием зубров в сельскохозяйственном производстве. Пластичность зубров, выявление изменений и их анализ при вселении видов в новые условия обитания необходимы не только для определения развития или деградации биоценозов и в целом экосистемы, но и прогноза социально-экономических последствий интродукции как одного из методов сохранения редких и исчезающих видов фауны.For the first time in the world, a bison population has been created in an area of 60 degrees north latitude. In the new climatic conditions of breeding and preservation of bison, the factors of the species existence in the north of the European part of the Russian Federation are identified and analyzed. The signs, dynamics of abundance, which are an integral part of the system designed to manage biodiversity are identified, since the preservation of biological diversity on the planet is one of the main problems of our time. Introduction, being the process of introducing non-typical species into an ecosystem, can enhance changes in biocenoses, both positively and negatively. The question posing sounds especially when it comes to such a large hoofed animal as the European bison. How quickly and successfully the process of adaptation of the universe takes place and its environmental impact is seen depends on the continued existence of bison and biodiversity in general. The article discusses the relationship of bison with other types of ungulates and human activities, as well as the further use of bison in agricultural production. How these issues will be resolved positively depends on the future of these animals. Thus, the plasticity of bison, the identification of changes and their analysis, with the introduction of species into new habitat conditions is necessary not only to determine the development or degradation of biocenoses and the ecosystem as a whole, but also to predict the socio-economic consequences due to the introduction as one of the methods of preserving rare and endangered species of fauna.

The author offers mapping and geoecological analysis of the Russian Federation regions presence in the state program “Environmental Protection”. The unequal distribution of the program’s targets and activities in different regions is revealed. A considerable number of relevant environmental problems for several mentioned regions have not been reflected in the program. It is important to increase the area of specially protected natural areas for a significant number of subjects of the Russian Federation. The status “part of the territory occupied by specially protected natural territories of Federal value in the total area of the subject of the Russian Federation” is recommended to be assigned all regions of Russia. Identification and elimination of objects of accumulated environmental damage that threat to the Volga river is relevant, at least for all the regions in which the Volga flows. Not all regions with a high level of air pollution and/or large masses of air pollutants have the indicator “reduction of total emissions for the reporting year”. It is necessary to increase the Program of measures for the protection of rare and endangered species of plants and to expand the list of regions in which it is planned to protect rare and endangered species of animals.

Quantitative assessment and evaluation of ecological parameters and biodiversity conservation are prime concerns for long-term conservation of rare and endangered species and their associated habitats in any ecological region. In this study, Gansu Province, a biodiversity hotspot, was chosen as the research area. We predicted the distribution patterns of suitable habitats for rare and endangered species. The replacement cost method was adopted to calculate the conservation value of rare and endangered species. The suitable habitat distribution area of rare and endangered wild animals reached 351,607.76 km2 (without overlapping area), while that of plants reached 72,988.12 km2 (without overlapping area). The conservation value of rare and endangered wildlife is US $1670.00 million. The high-value areas are mostly concentrated in the south and north of Gansu Province. The conservation value of rare and endangered wild plants is US $56,920.00 million. The high-value areas are mostly concentrated south of Gansu Province. The conservation value is US $58,590.00 million a year, and its distribution trend is gradually decreasing from northeast to southwest, with the highest in the forest area south of Gansu Province, followed by the Qilian Mountain area in the north. These results are of great significance for future improvement of the evaluation index system of ecosystem services and the development of ecosystem services and management strategies.

The systematic position and modern state of populations of the rare species of Ukrainian flora Carlina cirsioides Klokov (Asteraceae) are considered. Since this species is included into the Red Data Book of Ukraine (2009) and the European List of Globally Threatened Animals and Plants (1991), it is well-known for European botanists as an endemic of the Ukrainian flora. However, neither the authors of Flora Europaea (1976), nor monographers of the genus Carlina recognize Carlina cirsioides as a separate species. Comparative morphological, chorological, and coenotic analyzes does not allow Carlina cirsioides to be considered as a separate species, endemic and relic of the Ukrainian flora. According to morphological features, specimens from the plains of Ukraine are referred to the subspecies Carlina acaulis caulescens, which is distributed mainly in plain regions of Europe. Ecological and coenotic conditions of habitats of Carlina acaulis in the lowland part of Ukraine are different from its habitats in the Carpathians and Alps and are close to xerotherme grass communities with Carlina acaulis of plains of Central Europe. Steppe communities of Festuco-Brometea class with Carlina acaulis in the Volhynian-Podolian Upland are similar to xerotherme communities with Carlina acaulis of Central Europe. Erico-Pinetea class communities are common habitats for Carlina acaulis in the Ukrainian Polissia and north-eastern Poland. Lowering the species status of Carlina cirsioides from separate species to subspecies Carlina acaulis caulescens does not diminish its phytosozological value. Due to the low number of Carlina acaulis populations in the Volhynian-Podolian Upland and Polissia, all localities of this species in the lowland part of Ukraine need to be provided by protection.
