first Red Book was presented to the public in the middle of the last century.The initiative for its publication made the English zoologist Peter Scott.On the pages of several volumes were described in detail by representatives of the world of animals and plants threatened with total destruction.
After this event, one after the other were special books of former Soviet republics.And in 1983, it was first published The Red Book of the Russian Federation.In the eighties of the twentieth century it was made up of so-called Red List of the Volga and the Urals.Then a decision was made on the establishment of separate editions for each of the Russian regions.
will understand what this book
Red Book of Tatarstan is a document which is issued under the laws of the republic.It not only contains the data for each protected object of nature, but also lists the causes of extinction, and the measures that can contribute to their conservation.It was first edition was published in 1995, after ten years, the list contained in it, to update, and then reduced.As a result of all these changes in the Red Book of Tatarstan it encompassed 595 species of plants, fungi and animals, of which 214 are representatives of the animal world.
They are divided into six categories, each of which describes the state of individual species of flora and fauna in real time.Therefore, category 0 indicates completely extinct species, the location of which there were no data for fifty years before their inclusion in the list.Category 5 is the species which has successfully restored in the near future will no longer need special measures taken for their protection.
Publications of this kind, including the Red Book of Tatarstan, it is not a document of last resort, and that they differ from other directories, because it requires changes on an ongoing basis.It was on the basis of updated data on the state of flora and fauna can be seen on the need for protective measures with regard to any mind, and decide on the regulation of the number of individual fauna
Plants and animals Tatarstan
Work on drawing up such books should behave a continuous nature, and its ultimate goal is that the number of species listed in the publication, every year many times decreased.For example, some animals of the Red Book of Tatarstan has already "gone" from its pages back into the forest, among them was the groundhog, or, in other words - the European marmot, partridge, and brown bear.
