Abstract. Environmental protection and rational use of natural resources is one of the most pressing issues of our time. It is closely linked to the everyday life of people. Land, as a means of production, has special properties that differ from all other means of production. First and foremost, it is irreplaceable, limited in space, continuously functioning, and capable of continuous improvement if used properly. In the process of economic use of natural resources, we often only note those components of the environment with which our activities are related. For example, geologists and miners consider a territory in terms of its mineral wealth, timber producers are interested in areas with timber reserves, and agricultural workers are interested in land for farming. However, the natural environment is a complex of closely interconnected components that are in a state of dynamic equilibrium. Disruption of this balance can cause significant damage to natural resources. One of the main factors that destabilize the environmental situation in Ukraine is excessive agricultural development and plowing of the territory. Land conservation is the process of preserving and restoring natural resources, including soils, water, vegetation and fauna, in order to prevent the degradation of natural ecosystems and preserve biological diversity.
This article discusses the content of the concepts of "land conservation" and "degraded soils". Approaches to the development of working land management projects for the conservation of degraded and marginal arable land in Ukraine are proposed. Land conservation in this study is considered in the aspect of soil protection through conservation-transformation, when it comes to the irreversible transfer of arable land to other lands.
Key words: conservation, working draft of land management, disturbed lands, soil protection, marginal lands, land management documentation, land management, management, land use.References
