In Cherkasy region, near the village of Stetsivka, a mountain with hundreds of Red Book primroses, brandushki, has been discovered.
Previously, no such number of brandushkas had been found in Central Ukraine, the Kyiv Ecological and Cultural Center reports on Facebook.
Environmentalists emphasized that such a find is unique. After all, the populations of brandushkas suffer from plowing, terracing and afforestation of slopes, as well as intensive grazing and collection of bouquets.
Usually, brandushkas grow in the steppes, in the ecotones between broad-leaved forests and meadow steppes, and on the slopes of gullies.
They said that usually the snowdrops grow together with the snowdrops. Therefore, ecologists plan to achieve the creation of a natural monument to protect such a rare object.
"We hope that the Chigyryna City Council will support us, especially since the mountain with brandushkas can become a great place for excursions for green tourism and replenish the local budget," the KECC noted.
Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that primroses have bloomed in the Narcissus Valley reserve in Zakarpattia, including spring snowdrop, Heifel's saffron, snowdrops, dog's tooth erythronium, and spring primrose.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, ecologists from the Kyiv Ecological and Cultural Center said that forest conservation helped preserve and restore populations of rare sleeping grass , namely meadow sleep (blackening) and broad-leaved sleep (open).
