SUMMARY:Rewilding and the Future of HNV Species – does restoring flood d
 isturbance recreate suitable habitat for HNV species? - Tim Kasoar - Depar

DESCRIPTION:Certain cultural landscapes have been identified as ‘High Na
 ture Value’ (HNV) – areas that support high species and habitat divers
 ity\, or species of conservation concern. It has been suggested that HNV l
 andscapes favour certain species because their management mimics natural d
 isturbance processes. In the face of declines in HNV farming it has theref
 ore been suggested that “rewilding” – restoring natural disturbance 
 processes – could be a valuable tool for conserving HNV species. I teste
 d this idea by examining whether flood-disturbed systems provide suitable 
 habitat for HNV species in the Pripyat-Stokhid National Nature Park in Ukr
 aine.
