Abstract

In the conditions of chaotic use and development of the relatively pristine Kerch Peninsula's landscapes, it is an important issue to conserve the areas of the unique steppe zone. In this article, it is proposed to use the strategy of ecological networks (ECONET), i.e. systems of protected areas and connected ecological corridors, buffer zones and other areas with conservation mode of use.

Keywords

ecological network, Econet, Crimea, the Kerch Peninsula, protected areas
