Head of the Department,
Leonid Kopiy, D. Sc, Prof.



The history of the Department of Ecology begins in 1989, when the Department of Ecology, Landscape Architecture and Gardening was established  on the basis of the Department of Forestry and Landscaping at the Ukrainian State Forestry University.

It became one of the first departments of such profile in Ukraine to begin training environmental specialists.   In 1992 the first student enrollment on specialty “Applied Ecology” was completed.

Due to the successful implementation of the international project “ENARECO” at the National Forestry University of Ukraine and pursuant to the Resolution (No. 565-IV from February 20, 2003) of Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on the establishment of the National Center for Ecologists-Economists Training the Institute of Ecological Economics was established in 2004. The newly created Department of Ecology after division of the Department of Ecology, Landscape Architecture and Landscape Architecture as an independent structure was included to the Institute, renamed in 2013 as the Institute of Ecological Economics and Management.

The Department trains environmental experts in line with global trends in education, the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005–2014), which emphasizes the urgent need for skilled professionals with knowledge of environmental issues and the balanced use of natural resources.
