NEC Commissioner Don Alexander visits Ukraine Biosphere Reserve


During a June visit of Ukraine, NEC Commissioner Don Alexander visited the HQ of the Carpathian Mountains Biosphere Reserve where he met with Director Dr. Fedir Hamor.
Dr. Hamor, noticing the difference in height between the two photographed subjects remarked it is easily explained by the difference in height between mountains and an escarpment!
Dr. Fedir Hamor, Director of the Biosphere Reserve since 1987, has authored more than 300 papers, including work on the subjects of primeval beech forests and special status of mountainous settlements.
Dr. Hamor told his visitor the Transcarpathian Hiking Trail, which begins at the Biosphere Reserve HQ in Rakhiv, Ukraine, is being extended a distance of 380 km into Poland.
