The creation of the Ecological Network of Kiev is the first step toward completion of the program. It envisages the creation of the GIS database of the Network objects and their current condition. To carry out this task the information from different sources is used, so the task is not only to gather but also to unify and standardize the data in order to create the unite integral network for the further definition of the state of the objects, and decision making in the sphere of biodiversity preservation. Ecological Network of Kiev deals with and mainly includes the territories and the sites of the natural reserve (as the major components of the Network) green areas for public, limited use, or special use and other territories and sites.
