Therefore, during the meeting, important issues were considered – what should be the next steps for nature conservation in Ukraine: inventory and mapping of populations of all species that can be identified (as well as types of habitats); determining the impact of military factors on species; determination of indicators of unacceptable levels of pollution due to military actions for biodiversity and development of methods for their determination; identification of indicator species and development of monitoring programs for them; counts of the number of all rare species; mapping invasive species and monitoring their spread; monitoring of successional changes, determination of the volume of ecosystem services not received by Ukrainian citizens as a result of military digression.
