Kuialnytskyi National Nature Park
Park is one of the youngest protected natural areas in Ukraine. It was established by the Presidential Decree dated January 1, 2022, and its full administration began operating in September 2024. This natural site is part of Ukraine’s Nature Reserve Fund and is protected as a national heritage. A special regime for protection, restoration, and use of natural resources has been established for the Park, highlighting its importance for ecosystem conservation.
The Park has legal entity status, which grants it independence in its operations. It operates on a self-sustaining budget and conducts financial transactions through accounts with the State Treasury Service of Ukraine.
The Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine manages and coordinates the Park’s activities. Thanks to state support, the Park carries out an important mission to preserve natural and cultural heritage for future generations.
Park management
We believe managing natural areas is not just a job but a true art of harmony between people and nature! Kuialnytskyi National Nature Park was established by the President of Ukraine on January 1, 2022, and its administration began work in September 2024. We have been entrusted with the honorable and extremely important mission to preserve, restore, and develop this unique and invaluable territory so that its natural beauty can be enjoyed by future generations. The administration of Kuialnytskyi National Nature Park ensures that every corner of this unique area is protected, preserved, and accessible to everyone who wants to experience its beauty.
Our management approach focuses on caring for every detail. We organize the territory so that its natural wealth remains untouched while people can enjoy nature without causing harm. Through functional zoning, we create special areas for different activities—from scientific research to peaceful recreation.
Every day, our team works to ensure the park’s nature feels protected. We patrol the area, monitor ecosystem health, and ensure rare plants and animals are safe. We pay special attention to species listed in the Red Book of Ukraine—true treasures of our nature that we strive to preserve.
We also collaborate with other institutions and local communities to address important issues together. All these tasks are handled in close cooperation with those who care about the future of the Kuialnyk Estuary.
Additionally, we actively work to make our park comfortable and interesting for visitors. Informational signs, guided tours, displays, and specially designed trails help guests better understand nature, learn to protect it, and fall in love with this unique corner of Ukraine.
We believe true nature management is not about control but care and cooperation. Together with nature, we are building a future where everyone can find harmony and feel connected with the world around them.

Our key tasks
We patrol the park’s territory, monitor ecosystem health, track populations of rare species, and work to preserve the unique biodiversity. Special attention is given to species listed in the Red Book of Ukraine and ecosystems that require restoration.
To protect nature and provide comfortable recreation, we organize the park’s territory based on functional zoning. Visitors can enjoy nature without harming it, while scientists conduct research in designated zones.
We create ecological trails, conduct guided tours, and install informational stands so visitors can better understand nature, learn to protect it, and fall in love with this unique region.
We cooperate with scientific institutions, NGOs, and local communities to address environmental challenges, develop sustainable tourism, and attract resources for park preservation.
Our philosophy
We believe that managing nature is not about control but care and interaction. Together with nature and people, we build a future where the Kuialnyk Estuary remains a source of health, inspiration, and harmony.
