  Bokotey A.A. Study and conservation of Black Stork Ciconia nigra L. in Ukraine: 2005-2016 // Proc. of the State Nat. Hist. Mus. - Lviv, 2017. - 33. - P. 3-10. DOI: https://doi.org/10.36885/nzdpm.2017.33.3-10 Key words: Black Stork, research, threats, conservation, ecological education, Ukraine The paper summarizes the results of 12 years of Black Stork studies and conservation in Ukraine. All the activities were conducted within the international project “Ciconia Ukraina” with the financial support from the “Ciconia” fund (Liechtenstein). During the study period, numbers, density and distribution of Carpathian and Polissian populations of Black Stork were estimated. The role of mature forests for breeding of Black Stork was assessed and the inventory of such forests in the Rivne part of Polissia was performed. Main threats for Black Storks in Ukraine were clarified and measures to overcome these threats were proposed. Special biotechnical measures were undertaken to protect individual nests. Demographic structure of the West Polissian population was revealed on a genetic level. Feeding diet of nestlings was studied. The eco-educative campaign among local communities and forestry workers has been carried out. The National Action Plan for Black Stork conservation was prepared.
