Abstract
Biotopic and ornithological studies carried out in the lower reaches of the Desna River in 2018-2021 showed the presence of five different biotopes: continental reservoirs and watercourses, swamps, grass meadows, shrubs, floodplain forests, as well as 12 habitate, some of which are protected. 4 of the Berne Convention. In river floodplain studies, 44 rare bird species were recorded, the life cycle of which is associated with the floodplain of rivers, coastal and aquatic environments. Of these, 35 species are included in resolution 6 of the Berne Convention and 19 in the Red Book of Ukraine. In addition, 22 nesting species, of which 9 are listed in the Red Book of Ukraine, 2 are included in the IUCN list (Crex crex and Limosa limosa), and 1 species is included in the European Red List (Vanellus vanellus).
According to the results of the monitoring of the selected habitats, it was established that the greatest species richness of rare birds that use these territories as nesting and feeding areas: D5.2: Beds of large sedges normally without free-standing water, E2.2 : Low and medium altitude hay meadows, Moist or wet eutrophic and mesotrophic grassland, E2.7 : Unmanaged mesic grassland, E3.4: Moist or wet and mesotrophic grassland.
Thus, retrospective studies can be useful for the conservation of the natural environment and the restoration of areas affected by the aggression of the russian federation.
