Section 5National IPA teamThe World Conservation UnionProgramme Office for Russia and CIS(IUCN-CIS, Moscow) coordinates theoverall project in the CIS region.Coordinator for CIS: Galina PronkinaNational coordinating organisation:Institute of Experimental Botany (IEB),National Academy of Sciences, MinskNational coordinator: Oleg MaslovskyNational team: full details of teammembers are given in theacknowledgements section, teammembers from the Institute ofExperimental Botany (IEB), Minsk;Ministry of Natural Resources andEnvironmental Protection of the Republicof Belarus; Belarus Botanical Society.BelarusBy Oleg MaslovskyBelarus covers 207,000 km 2 in eastern Europe and has twobiogeographic zones, the Continental and Boreal. Belarus isbordered by Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Latvia and Lithuania, andshares several cross-border protected areas with itsneighbours, including the famous Belovezhskaya Pushcha.Belarus’ natural and semi-natural vegetation is made up mainlyof forest (taiga, coniferous and mixed), wetlands (bogs, miresand lakes), and grassland.IPAs in BelarusPartner organisations: (full details inacknowledgements) Belarus StateUniversity; National Park ‘Narochansky’;NGO Ecological Initiative; Institute ofZoology of Belarus, National Academy ofSciences of Belarus,APB;Association“Radi Zhizny Na Zemle” (Osipovichy)IPA summary statisticsTotal number of IPAs: 10Area of IPAs (ha): 698,330No/Area of IPAs in Protected Areas (all or part): 8 IPAs /588,330 haBiogeographical zones: Boreal (8), Continental (2)Criteria listsCriterion A = 39 speciesAi (0),Aii (39),Aiii (0),Aiv (0); (22 Habitats Directive; 21 Bern)Vascular plants (25), Bryophytes (6), Lichens (2), Fungi (6),Algae (0)Criterion B=11EUNIS level 2 habitat types assessed for richnessCriterion C=64habitatsCi (11), Cii (53); Habitats Directive (36) & Bern Convention (29)34
BelarusMethodology summaryCriteria lists: Criterion A is based entirely on Aii, European threat, as Belarus does notcurrently have any globally threatened species or threatened endemics or nearendemics.Translating the habitats lists from the Habitats Directive and the BernConvention into the national classification system was a major part of this project.Further work needs to be done to ensure that specific species and habitats fromeastern Europe are fully integrated into European and global threat lists.Data and fieldwork: ten sites were chosen on the basis of existing data for intensivefield investigation using the IPA criteria. New field data were collected by the IEB in2003 and 2004.Site selection: the national site selection strategy focused on selecting larger sites, whichcontain a high number of qualifying criteria, and a complex of habitat types.Key issues: regionally relevant criteria lists for Belarus and eastern European countriesneed to be developed further.This is only the first stage of IPA identification in Belarus.Further work on identification will be required and this project will provide invaluabledata and experience for the development of the IPA programme in the CIS region.Protection and management of IPAsTotal IPAs with National National protection European InternationalIPAs no legal protection of IPAs (lower level) recognition recognitionprotection of IPAs of IPAs of IPAs(high level)10 2 National Zakaznik (4) IBA* (4) Ramsar (2)Park (2)IBA= Important Bird Area; PBA= Prime Butterfly AreaZapovednik (2) PBA* (2) BiosphereReserve (1)World HeritageSite (1)Two IPAs (20%) currently have no legal protection, four IPAs have a high level of nationalprotection and four have a lower level of national protection. Several IPAs arerecognised in European and International programmes. Eight IPAs are in protected areasbut securing appropriate site management is an important conservation issue. Effectivesite management plans need to be developed and implemented to benefit plantconservation.Habitats and land use at IPAsNo. ofIPAs35
