As a result of a comprehensive analysis of the avifauna of Crimea 21 districts were identified, taking into account the distribution of ecological and faunal groupings of birds according to zonal and biotopic divisions, the scheme of their dominance, the study of the relationships between species of various faunal complexes and types, as well as the presence of specific species. The border of the Sahara-Gobi and European subregions runs along the northern foothills. The species of Nomadic-type and tropical groups predominate in the lowland Crimea, and species of Nemoral complexes of European and Euro-Chinese types predominate in the mountain-forest belt. The northern foothills which are characterized by the transitional nature of the fauna that bears significant similarities with lowland Crimea (53 %), are attributed to the Crimean Foothills District. A belt of hemixerophytic forests, woodlands, tomillaries and savannoids of the Southern coast forms the Southern Coastal District. Both districts are considered part of the Western European Province of the European Subregion.
