Description Ukraine is biodiverse country. However, the future of the region’s biodiversity is uncertain. For many years conservation initiatives have relied on local enthusiasts or biologists who were not trained as conservation biologists. Moreover, conservation biology has not been perceived as a respectable topic worthy of attention by scientists nor one that would benefit from a scientific approach. For these reasons and the related lack of expertise and financial resources, biodiversity conservation has not been included into the system of higher education in Ukraine. Consequently there is a lack of trained experts in conservation science in the country today. Therefore among many other challenges that the country now faces, Ukraine urgently requires trained biodiversity conservation professionals to implement goals that have been defined by National Strategy for Environmental Policy in Ukraine to 2020 and National Action Plan for Environmental Protection in Ukraine for 2011-2015. As opportunities and resources for academic and professional training in conservation are limited in availability and scope in Ukraine, it is crucial at this time to introduce to institutions of higher learning to the science of conservation biology.
