«In the preparation of the necessary documents of the Cabinet of Ministers of the state budget allocated to the Council of Ministers of Crimea subvention. Crimean group of scientists and specialized professionals have developed materials for the project boundary changes and expanding the territory of the Yalta reserve with all the unique natural objects to save,» - said the deputy prime minister Council of Ministers of Crimea George Psarev.

As the chairman of the National Committee of the ARC Environmental Protection Dmitry Tatarov, the need to expand the Yalta reserve ripe for a long time. It was created in 1973 on the basis of forestry. Later in the Soviet time, without forecasting and analysis of geo-ecological situation made some mistakes in the master plan for the Greater Yalta, including the organization of the Yalta reserve.

«The reserve has no buffer zone and is directly adjacent to settlements. This complicates ensuring its protection and compliance reserve status. Also, when creating the reserve was not resolved the issue of the exclusion of his former career, which has evolved into a city dump. Critical issue was also the cemetery - a burial area - 24 hectares, of which 14 are employed in areas without tap. Bury there is no place, an additional allocation of land, »- said Tatarov.

Recall, this order was given by the President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych during his visit to the peninsula in the past year. Now the area of Yalta mountain-forest nature reserve - 14.523 ha, prepared according to the materials area of 17.5 hectares of the reserve
