abstract

A brief overview of information on the population dynamics and distribution of the red deer in Ukraine has been prepared. Data on the absolute number of deer for the last 30 years (1991–2020) are presented by years based on data from state statistic reports (form 2tp-hunting). According to the same source, the last known distribution of the species by administrative regions was analysed (data for 2017). It is shown that zones of high abundance and density of populations cover three areas: the Carpathians and adjacent regions, the Crimea and adjacent regions, and Central Polissia and adjacent regions. Current highly populated areas (data for 2017) are unchanged compared to data for 1991–2001. The distribution of the species is fragmentary and determined by the spatial distribution of wealthy game farms and the three natural centres of high population abundance and density are located at the Carpathians, Central Polissia, and the Crimean Mountains.
