Major Key Questions Proposed for
Agro-Biodiversity Indicators in Ukraine
May, 2003

As a result of consultations with Working Group members, ULRMC proposes the following broad key questions regarding agro-biodiversity indicators. For more information on how the questions were selected please refer to our complete matrix of questions.

• What is the current state of agro-biodiversity in Ukraine?
• What are the main factors causing loss or increase of agro-biodiversity, and how do changes in the land use practices impact loss or increase of agro-biodiversity?
• What lands could be returned to a natural state in the near future?
• To what extent are national biodiversity indicators linked with the international ones, and how could the existing national statistics help build nationally and internationally applicable indices for decision-making?
• How can scenarios of agro-biodiversity changes be built, and how can biodiversity loss be stopped in the near future?
