abstract

An essay about a colleague whose scientific activity is primarily related to the study of mammals of Central Podillia and the Dnister Canyon. The researcher’s attention is focused on studying different groups: troglophilic bats and rodents, hydrophilic animals (beavers, water shrews), steppe fauna (wild rabbits, hillok mice). In addition to mammalogical research, he pays considerable attention to the study and protection of the caves of Podillia and the Dnister Canyon, the creation of new protected areas and objects, and the organisation of regional conferences. As the head of the scientific department of the Dnister Canyon National Park, he is a key author of the Chronicle of Nature of the park.
