Core offering

UNCG is a Ukrainian environmental NGO that combines expert scientists and researchers to advance biodiversity conservation, expand the protected area network, and adapt EU environmental directives (Habitats, Birds, Natura 2000) to Ukraine. It produces scientific publications, guidelines, and analytical reports on topics including steppe conservation, wetland restoration, environmental impact assessment, and wartime environmental protection. It also operates interactive web-based biodiversity mapping tools (Biodiversity Viewer, Emerald Network Maps) and educational initiatives to support conservation advocacy and public awareness.

Product overview

Ukrainian Nature Conservation Group (UNCG) is a conservation NGO that operates primarily as a publisher and research organization rather than a technology product company. Its core offerings consist of: (1) Publications and scientific materials covering biodiversity monitoring, protected area management, environmental impact assessment, and wartime conservation; (2) Biodiversity Viewer - an interactive web mapping tool for Ukrainian biodiversity data; (3) Emerald Network Interactive Maps for exploring protected territories; and (4) the Ecoaphorism educational initiative. These offerings are informational and educational resources supporting nature conservation in Ukraine, not commercial software products or platforms with modules.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature): IUCN is the global authority on species conservation status and protected area standards, including the IUCN Red List and Green List. Comparable to UNCG in setting the international frameworks Ukrainian conservation practice aligns with, though operating at vastly larger scale across all biomes globally.
• The Nature Conservancy: The Nature Conservancy is one of the world's largest environmental NGOs, working globally on land and water conservation including protected area establishment. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the conservation NGO space where UNCG operates, though with a much larger portfolio and budget.
• Wetlands International: Wetlands International is a global NGO dedicated to wetland conservation and wise use of wetlands, including policy work on Ramsar sites. Comparable to UNCG in working on wetland protection, EIA advocacy, and policy frameworks overlapping with UNCG's VBУ (водно-болотні угіддя) work.

Direct peers

• BirdLife Ukraine (Ukrainian Society for the Protection of Birds): BirdLife Ukraine is the Ukrainian partner of BirdLife International, focused on bird and habitat conservation, Important Bird Areas, and Emerald Network implementation. Highly comparable to UNCG given overlapping expertise in biodiversity monitoring, protected area designation, and EU Birds/Habitats Directive implementation.
• Ecoaction: Ecoaction is a leading Ukrainian environmental NGO working on climate policy, energy transition, and conservation advocacy with strong EU integration expertise. Comparable to UNCG in operating as an advocacy-and-research-oriented NGO driving Ukrainian environmental policy forward.
• Fundacja Dziedzictwo Przyrodnicze (Natural Heritage Foundation, Poland): A Polish NGO working on Emerald Network, EIA, and biodiversity protection across Central Europe, with an established Ukrainian collaboration through UNCG. Highly comparable in scope, methodology, and cross-border Emerald Network focus.
• WWF-Ukraine (World Wildlife Fund Ukraine): WWF-Ukraine is the local arm of a global conservation network engaged in biodiversity protection, protected areas, and environmental policy advocacy in Ukraine. It competes with UNCG for the same donor pool, government relationships, and conservation projects in overlapping habitats.
• Rewilding Ukraine: Rewilding Ukraine is a Ukrainian NGO focused on restoring natural ecosystems and rewilding key landscapes, including the Lower Dnipro floodplains and steppe areas. It is one of the most direct peers to UNCG, operating in the same geography with overlapping scientific, advocacy, and habitat restoration missions.
• Biodiversity Protection Foundation of Ukraine (Фонд захисту біорізноманіття України): A Ukrainian foundation dedicated to biodiversity research and protected area advocacy, hosting joint publications and infrastructure with UNCG (e.g., Hlyboki Balyky Ecological Research Station, the ecoaphorism portal). Effectively a sister organization with closely aligned scientific and conservation missions.

Emerging players

• Frankfurt Zoological Society (FZS): FZS supports conservation of large landscapes and protected areas in Eastern Europe, including Ukraine, with a focus on ecological management and species protection. Comparable to UNCG in its Eastern European focus and protected area support, but typically operates as a grantmaker/implementing partner rather than a grassroots advocacy NGO.
