Extinct species.

Today, the world is constantly creating the latest technology to build cities, factories, houses.For this purpose, the materials that nature gives.Many animals and plants in the fight for the life of a person losing.The consequence of this is the disappearance of some varieties.If you do not create a defense to them, they can do the abyss, like some extinct species of plants and animals.

Extinct plants

Extinct species are divided into two groups:

• those who disappeared during the revolution;
• those on whose disappearance has affected people.

Because people lost a lot of plants, it is said the various sources of research.Nature gradually poorer as into the atmosphere waste industry.Many hillsides stripped lush forests humanity.

there are rare and endangered species of plants that have continued to fight for life.Obvious examples there:

• yellow water lily;
• bell dolomite;
• kladofora spherical;
• Sarankov lily and others.

Human activities impact on nature is not the best way.At the moment, you can list these extinct species:

• Barguzinskaya wormwood;
• Chii brilliant;
• Norwegian astragalus;
• plantain Krasheninnikov;
• bloodroot Volga;
• goodyera repens;
• common heather and other plants.

Statistics

Extinct species are counted every year.Statistics show that each year 1% of the tropical rain forest is lost, dying about 70 species of animals and plants.Disappeared 10% of biodiversity in shallow water, namely coral reefs.It is believed that in the next ten years will be lost another 30%.Such changes occur due to the fact that the climate has changed greatly, polluted water, caught a large number of reef fish.

Plant Protection

endangered plants in Russia are under strict protection.These include:

• Amur cork;
• boxwood;
• tis common;
• Pitsundskaya pine;
• lotus and other shrubs, trees, grasses, which were in the Red Book.

If you do not create the proper protection of these plants, in the future this will lead to a complete destabilization.After all, there is a chain in the ecosystem food.

It was noted that as a result of the disappearance of a number of species changes and other inhabitants of nature.Each plant carries a specific DNA molecule.If it disappear irreversibly lost with it the genetic material.For example, only annual wormwood able to cure malaria, artemisinin because it contains a part that was not observed in any other plant.

cause for concern

Endangered species of animals and plants should be known to everyone.This has certain reasons:

1. biological essence disappear, reducing the richness of nature.
2. destabilization of ecosystems.In nature, everything is interconnected, so the extinction of one species destroys the whole chain.
3. Other susceptible danger of extinction.After the disappearance of certain types of other plants and animals can reduce their numbers.From this changing ecosystem.
4. lose the unique genetic material.

list of some endangered species

There are such endangered species of the Red Book, are in need of protection:

1. Lily martagon.This elegant plant that is able to please a few years in a row.The flowers appear in summer.They are pink color with purple stamens.The leaves are very original, painted specks.
2. Strode high.The plant belongs to the orchid species.It is in danger, as may soon add to the list "Extinct species."Photos can be viewed in different sources, each of which shows a high herbaceous perennial up to 1 meter.The plant has no leaves, but happy flowers in racemes.In autumn it gives fruit with seeds.
3. Japanese borodatka.Plants can grow to 20-40 cm high.
4. Lunaria rediviva.

6. dwarf euonymus.It is a beautiful shrub that pleases its green leaves.
7. Cornflower Taliev.It has amazing pinnatisect leaves that decorate the baskets of inflorescences creamy.
8. Ginseng.It is considered a miracle of nature.
9. lily of the valley.Flower, who loved many, is on the verge of extinction.
10. astrantia large.The plant lives several years.It is very high, grows up to 70 cm.
11. fine-leaved peony.It belongs to the family of propionic, it pleases the eye with its flowers shade of raspberry.
12. Shlemonosny orchids.
13. lily white.It is a very beautiful plant.

Red Book

all endangered plant species Red Book put together by sections and categories, depending on the status, the degree of protection.They are five:

1. The first category is attributed species are vulnerable to extinction.If people will not use security measures, it will be impossible to save them.These include a large horsetail, royal fern, fir, white, primrose tall volchnik upland, lady's slipper.
2. second category.It recorded plants, which have a high number, but it is rapidly decreasing.From this can be gone a number of plants.These include: Baranez ordinary, bear bow polushnik lake, European globe, white water lily.
3. The third category is attributed the types of plants that grow in limited areas.They have a small amount.They are not yet in danger of extinction.The list includes: water fern, rhododendron yellow egg capsules small, Siberian iris, wood anemone, ivy, water chestnut, dwarf birch.
4. fourth category.Described herein are plants that are poorly understood, but their number is small.These are: martagon lily, violet swamp, an ordinary cow parsnip.
5. The fifth category includes species that have been the restoration of population.This contributed to the special measures of protection.But among plants such species very little.

Some species requiring special attention

There are some rare plants that need attention and protection of human rights.One of these is Arizona agave, the number of plants is rapidly declining.Some species grow in the National Forest in Arizona.

It should be noted that close to extinction Enrubio bush.This happens due to the fact that many animals eat it.But the number of these plants is not as dire as the western prairie orchids.She is on the verge of extinction.She now grows only in 5 US states, mainly in wetland environments.Due to global warming, grazing the plant is gradually disappearing from the face of the earth.

Conclusions

Endangered species of animals and plants every year are replenished with new ones.If a person does not take action, it will lead to instability in the ecosystem.As a result of the disappearance of some species will die others, as in nature, there is a chain of life, all interconnected.

In the future loss of species can lead to a great disaster worldwide.Therefore it is required to create the proper protection to all plants and animals, but pay particular attention to rare species.After all, their existence depends on humanity.Everyone should think about it and take care of nature!
