This article
deals with the analysis of abundance and distribution
of wild and domestic ungulates in Luhansk Oblast
(eastern Ukraine). Descriptions of 10 ungulate species
are given, including one species of the family Suidae
(Sus scrofa), five species of Cervidae (Cervus elaphus,
Cervus nippon, Dama dama, Capreolus capreolus, and
Alces alces), three species of Bovidae (Bos taurus,
Capra hircus, and Ovis aries), and one species of
Equidae (Equus caballus). It shows the decline of
populations of many ungulate species, including
a 73.8% reduction in the number of cattle and a
corresponding 23.4% reduction in the area of major
crops in the region. In order to save the lands
that have never been ploughed before, and to restore
the steppe, we propose to increase the abundance
of horses. |
