Іn the Dubno district, there are only 62 protected objects, with a total area of 4540.5 hectares, which is 2.3% of the area of the NRF region and 8.2% of the area of objects of local importance. Of these: nature reserves of local importance – 25, natural monuments of local importance – 12 and 2 of national importance, nature reserves – 21, parks-attractions of landscape gardening art of local importance – 2.The results of studies of the analysis of the structure of objects of the NRF of the Dubno district are given, the coefficient of the protected area of the area (percentage of the reserve) is determined, which is 1.4%. The reserve is assessed as low (1 point). The qualitative composition of the NRF of the region was assessed. In the presence of three categories of NRF objects, the qualitative composition is assessed as satisfactory (2 points). The index of the density of NRF objects on the territory of the district was determined – 1.9 objects per 100 km2 , which is significantly higher than the average for Ukraine (1.08).
