Conservation policies and management in the Ukrainian Emerald Network have maintained reforestation rate despite the war.
This works explores the impact of the Russian-Ukrainian War on institutional links supporting environmental sustainability and conservation efforts. Using satellite data, the authors analyzed tree cover changes in the Luhansk region’s Emerald Network protected areas from 1996 to 2020.
