In the context of Chernihiv region for 21 years the total area of protected areas has increased by 189%. The presence of a strong correlation between the increase in the area of territories with environmental status and the number of raccoon dog population, which has grown by 277% is ascertained. At the same time there is no direct correlation between the in- crease in protected areas and number of wolf and fox population. These differences, in our opinion, are due to the peculiarities of ecology animal species studied and the nature of human pressure on them during the hunt and destruction as «harmful» animals. In the absence of national biological monitoring to assess the ecological status of ecosystem stability, it is advisable to use a multi-year inventory of theriofauna.
