Major habitats at IPAs in Belarus Forest is the major habitat on the majority of Belarussian IPAs (the major habitat on eight IPAs) and covers 62% of the area of IPAs.There is coniferous forest on all ten IPAs and deciduous forest on three IPAs. Bog is the major habitat at one IPA, and mire, fens and bog are significant features of nine IPAs, covering 15% of the area of IPAs. Grassland habitats occur at all ten IPAs (dry grasslands in two and mesic grasslands in nine), covering 5% of the area of IPAs. Running and standing water is also a key feature on all ten IPAs. Constructed habitats occur on all IPAs but at between 1-5% of the area.There is a low level of agricultural or cultivated land on all IPAs although one IPA has up to 15% agricultural land. Nature protection is the most common land use on IPAs, occurring on eight sites. Forestry, and hunting are also important land uses occurring on nine and eight sites respectively. Recreation (seven IPAs) and agriculture (seven IPAs) are also significant land uses at IPAs in Belarus.

Eight Criterion A species have only one IPA recorded and eleven Criterion C habitats have only one IPA recorded. Key Threats to IPAs in Belarus Deforestation threatens the most IPAs in Belarus.The other significant threats are the lack of management planning, intensified forest management, land improvement measures, tourist and recreation pressure, fires and the absence of monitoring. 36
Belarus OLEG MASLOVSKY Recommendations There are three main directions for the development of the IPA project in Belarus: ■ The selection and description of further IPAs ■ The development of ecological management programmes for individual IPAs in cooperation with the Ministry and the reserve administrations (Blue Lakes is the probable first candidate for this) ■ The development of joint management projects for trans-border IPAs (with Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine and Russia) Blue Lakes The Blue Lakes IPA in the Minsk region was protected in 1972 and included into Narochansky National Park in 1999.The area is characterised by a great variety of landscapes, in particular the splintered mosaic of lakes, hills and moraine.This relatively small area forms a unique natural complex with a large number of rare and vanishing plant species and habitats, including four species protected in Europe. OLEG MASLOVSKY Belovezhskaya Pushcha Belovezhskaya Pushcha National Park is situated in the south west of Belarus on the border with Poland.The main area covers 90,000 hectares with additional zones covering 120,000 hectares. It is a unique area of species rich, old European forest, and most of its species are in the Red Book of Belarus, fourteen of those are European protected species, and it also includes many relict plant and animal species.
