[edit]There are 54 national parks in Ukraine. The oldest park is Carpathian National Park, which was established in 1980.
The total area protected by national parks is around 11,116 km², with an average of 226.85 km² but a median of only 14,836 hectares 148.36 km² in Zalissya. The largest national park is Upper Pobozhia, in Khmelnytskyi Oblast with more than 1,000 km² of protected area while the smallest park is the Derman-Ostroh National Nature Park, making up an area of 55 km².
This category of the Nature Conservation Fund was created mainly after the fall of the Soviet Union and such there were very few parks in Ukraine. Many of its parks are concentrated in the west, closer to Romania and Poland.
