Endangered species of animals of Ukraine Misha Tokar 11-H

Curlew â&#x20AC;˘ Their number is decreasing. European breeding population 260-320 thousand. The total number of birds is not known. There are few thousands of those, migrating through Ukraine. They can be observed in the Danube Delta.

Danube salmon â&#x20AC;˘ Their natural habitat is: the Danube (eastern area), Tisza and Prut. Their number is very few. The reasons of changes in population is a violation of typical habitats as a result of changes in the hydrological, chemical, biological modes caused by hydraulic engineering; water pollution, overfishing.

Mediterranean gecko

â&#x20AC;˘ Their natural habitat in Ukraine is the eastern part. The area includes the Crimean subspecies of the NorthWestern Anatolia and the Balkans. In Ukraine they can be found in a narrow band of coast between Sevastopol and Kara-Dag. They live in the ruins and buildings. In the mountain they can climb up to 680 m above sea level.

Martin Caspian

â&#x20AC;˘ The causes of extinction are such negative factors as the weather, reducing the area of nesting areas for birds, collecting their eggs by people, predation by other animals. The measures done are: the improvement of their food on Syvash and enhancing the security regime.

Brown bear â&#x20AC;˘ Number : not more than 300 bears. Most bears live in Zakarpattia and IvanoFrankivsk region (200 bears), less in Lviv (50 bears) and the lowest number of bears live in Chernivtsi region - 20 bears. The reasons of exctintion: cutting down forests and great recreational burden and hunting.

ENDANGERED SPECIES IN UKRAINE

The stoat (Mustela erminea), also known as the short-tailed weasel, is a species of Mustelidae native to Eurasia and North America, distinguished from the least weasel by its larger size and longer tail with a prominent black tip. The name ermine is often, but not always, used for the animal in its pure white winter coat, or the fur thereof.In the late 19th century, stoats were introduced into New Zealand to control rabbits. The stoats have had a devastating effect on native bird populations (see stoats in New Zealand).

The research revealed that the number of 23 bird species decreased due to manmade causes and these species are under threat with four species being in a fragile state, nine under threat and 11 in a crisis situation. One species (black stork) and two subspecies (Caucasian and Talish pheasants) are already extinct. Some 26 species are always rare not depending on manmade causes. Such bird species live along the Azerbaijani coasts of the Caspian Sea in the Gizil-Agach State Reserve, Shirvan State Reserve, Yeniken Reservoir, Lake Agzibir and Samur-Yalama National Park.

Red deer • The unique genus of deer species (Cervus) red deer (C.elaphus L.) exists in the National Park area as well. Its dwelling place is not intact but in local form. Red deer is considered rare and innumerous species. It has been included to the Red List of IUCN and has been suggested for inclusion to the second edition of the “Red Book” of Azerbaijan.

Capra cylindricornis • Capra cylindricornis (East Caucasian or Dagestan tur): These species are spread in subalpine and high forest zones of the region, as well as in Quba, Qusar, Oguz, Qabala, Shahdag and Babadag regions. They are mostly found in Ismayilli part of Shahdag National Park and around its borders. Dagestan tur has been included to the “Red Book” of Azerbaijan.

Goat-antelope • Goat-antelope species (Rupicapra) chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra L.) is considered the unique species to be spread in Great Caucasus. This species which was widespread and numerous in most mountainous areas of Azerbaijan in ancient times remains just in the southern and eastern slopes of Great Caucasus mountains to this day. It is considered innumerable and rare species. Therefore chamois has been included to the first and second edition of the “Red Book” of Azerbaijan and to the Red List of IUCN.

Lutra lutra • Lutra lutra: European otter which belongs to Lutra family is one of the rare species. This genus lives not only in rivers of high mountainous meadows, but also in rivers of most landscapes. It is mostly encountered in water basins of forest zones. European otter is able to climb 300 m height. It has been included to the “Red Book” of Azerbaijan and to the International Red List.

Ursus arctos â&#x20AC;˘ One of ursidae species brown bear (Ursus) is widespread in the Natioanal Park territory. (U.arctos L.). In addition to this subspecies, white breast bear which is uncharacteristic to Azerbaijan fauna exists in the area and is mostly found in Ismayilli game reserve. These animals are prevalent in low and high mountainous forests, as well as in tugai forest zones.

Gray wolf The gray wolf also known as the timber wolf, or western wolf, is a native to the wilderness and remote areas of Azerbaijan. It is the largest extant member of its family, with males averaging 43â&#x20AC;&#x201C;45 kg.

Caspian seal The Caspian seal (Pusa caspica) is one of the smallest members of the earless seal family and unique in that it is found exclusively in the brackish Caspian Sea. They are found not only along the shorelines, but on the many rocky islands and floating blocks of ice that dot the Caspian Sea. In winter, and cooler parts of the spring and autumn season, these marine mammals populate the Northern Caspian.

White-tailed eagle The white-tailed eagle is a very large bird. It measures 66â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 94 cm in length with a 1.78â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2.45 m wingspan. The wingspan, with a midpoint of 2.18 m , is on average the largest of any eagle. The Steller's sea eagle, larger in both weight and total length, is the closest rival for median wingspan amongst living eagles.

Sturgeon Sturgeon is the common name used for some 25 species of fish in the family Acipenseridae, The term includes over 20 species commonly referred to as sturgeon and several closely related species that have distinct common names, notably sterlet, kaluga, and beluga. Collectively, the family is also known as the true sturgeons. Sturgeon is sometimes used more exclusively to refer to the species in the two best-known genera, Acipenser, and Huso. Sturgeons have been referred to as "primitive fishes" because their morphological characters have remained relatively unchanged since the earliest fossil record.

Capra Capra is a genus of mammals, the goats or wild goats. The domestic goat is a domesticated subspecies of the wild goat . Evidence of goat domestication dates back more than 8,500 years. Wild goats are animals of mountain habitats. They are very agile and hardy, able to climb on bare rock and survive on sparse vegetation.

The goitered or black-tailed subgutturosa is a gazelle found in northern Azerbaijan, part of Iran, parts of Iraq and southwestern Pakistan, southeastern Turkey, Afghanistan and the Gobi Desert. The specific name, meaning "full below the throat", refers to the male having an enlargement of the neck and throat during the mating season.

Red Book

It grows to 30 m tall and 8–15 m broad, with a trunk up to 150 cm in diameter. The bark is smooth, pinkishbrown flaking/peeling to leave cinnamon, pink, green, and pale yellow patches in a similar manner to plane trees. The leaves are alternate, ovoid, often slightly lopsided, 6–15 cm long and 4–10 cm across, with wavy margins, they are glossy green, turning a rich purple to brilliant red in autumn.

Gleditsia Caspica

• Gleditsia Caspica is a species of Gleditsia native to western Asia, in the Caucasus region of Azerbaijan and northern Iran, close to the Caspian Sea • It is a medium-sized deciduous tree growing to 12 m tall, with the trunk covered in numerous, 10–20 cm long branched spines. The leave sare pinnate or pinnate, up to 25 cm long, with 12–20 leaflets, pinnate leaves have six to eight pinnae. The leaflets are up to 5 cm long and 2 cm broad. The flowers are greenish, produced in racemes up to 10 cm long. The fruit is a pod 20 cm long and 3 cm broad.

The short toes that give the name

The short-toed snake eagle is an accomplished flyer and spends more time on the wing than do most members of its genus. It favours soaring over hill slopes and hilltops on up draughts, and it does much of its hunting from this position at heights of up to 500 meters (550 yards). When quartering open country it frequently hovers like a Kestrel. When it soars it does so on flattish wings.

Black stork

The Black stork is a large wading bird in the stork family Ciconidae. It is a widespread, but uncommon, species that breeds in the warmer parts of Europe across temperate Asia and Southern Africa. This is a shy and wary species, unlike the closely related white stork. It is seen in pairs or small flocksâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in marshy areas, rivers or inland waters. The black stork feeds on amphibians and insects. A teacher: Nahida Huseynova

Dihor de stepa/Ferret of stepa Se deosebeşte de dihorul comun prin faptul că are blană de culoare mai deschisă, deşi fondul este tot cafeniu. Faţa este alb-gălbuie, surie în jurul ochilor şi sub aceştia. Bărbia, pieptul, membrele si ultima treime a cozii sunt cafeniu închis sau chiar negre. Coada este scurtă, având aproximativ o treime din lungimea corpului, şi este acoperită cu peri scurţi şi netezi.

It differs from common ferret by having lighter colored fur, while the background is all brown. The face is white to yellowish eyes and smiled around in them. Chin, chest, limbs and tail are the last third of dark brown or black. The tail is short, with about a third of the body length, and is covered with short hairs and smooth.

Hermelina/Ermine Hermelina are un corp suplu si alungit. Culoarea blanii variaza de la un sezon la altul. Vara, blana are culoarea brunroscata, pe partea dorsala si pe laturile corpului, asemanatoare cu solul sau scoarta copacilor, iar pe partea ventrala si pe git este alba. Toamna, hermelina ĂŽĹ&#x;i schimbÄ&#x192; culoarea, si din culoarea brun-roscata de peste vara, blana sa devine alba, ceea ce face ca in timpul iernii sa fie practic imposibil de observat. Animal exclusiv carnivor, hermelina se hraneste numai cu prazile pe care le captureaza.

Ermine has a slim body and elongate. Their color ranges from one season to another. In summer, the fur is reddish-brown on the back and on the sides of the body, similar to soil or bark of trees, and on the ventral side and the neck is white. Autumn, ermine and change color from red-brown over the summer, its fur is white, which makes the winter to be practically impossible to see.

Vidra/Otter A fost înregistrată în 3-4 locuri pe râul Prut şi pe cursul Nistrului. Prin anii '50 efectivul vidrei a început să se reducă şi spre mijlocul anilor '80 numărul de femele apte pentru reproducerea atins cifra de 20. Astăzi densitatea speciei în locurile de pe rul Prut constituie un individ la 20 km de mal. Este ocrotită conform legislaţiei în cadrul rezervaţiilor ştiinţifice “Prutul de Jos" şi "Pădurea Domnească".

It has been registered in 3 or 4 sites on the Prut river and on the Nistru flow. In the '50-s its number started decreasing and by middle of the '80s the number of females able to reproduce came to 20 . Nowadays the density of the species on sites of the Prut river is one individual per 20 from the bank. It is protected in conformity with law in the Scientific Reserves ,,Prutul de Jos" and ,,Padurea Domneasca"

Species of animals from the Red Book of Republic of Moldova are really very few. It must be protected not just in documents but also by us. If this species disappear, Moldova will suffer, so if we respect nature, nature will respect us!

Macedonia

Ohrid trout (Salmo letnica) Ohrid trout or the Lake Ohrid brown trout (Salmo letnica) is an endemic species of trout in Lake Ohrid and in its tributaries and outlet, the Black Drin river, in the Republic of Macedonia and Albania in the Balkans. Locally, the fish is known as охридска пастрмка (ohridska pastrmka) in Macedonian and koran/korani in Albanian. It is an endangered species because of its massive use in nutrition.

Brown bear (Ursus arctos) The brown bear (Ursus arctos) is a large bear distributed across much of northern Eurasia and North America. Adult bears generally weigh between 100 and 635 kg (220 and 1,400 lb). Its largest subspecies, the Kodiak bear, rivals the polar bear as the largest member of the bear family and as the largest landbased predator.

Brown bear (Ursus arctos) According to the Macedonian Hunting Law, 127 species are protected, including the brown bear, a species that is nearing exctinction. The entire population of the brown bear is approximately 250. A Balkan Large Carnivores Conservation Betwork - Balkan Net has been formed in 1988 for the protection of the brown bear and other species.

Gray wolf (canis lupus) The gray wolf (Canis lupus) also known as the timber wolf, or western wolf, is a canid native to the wilderness and remote areas of North America, Eurasia, and northern, eastern and western Africa. It is the largest extant member of its family, with males averaging 43–45 kg (95– 99 lb), and females 36–38.5 kg (79– 85 lb). Like the red wolf, it is distinguished from other Canis species by its larger size and less pointed features, particularly on the ears and muzzle. Its winter fur is long and bushy, and predominantly a mottled gray in color, although nearly pure white, red, or brown to black also occur. As of 2005, 37 subspecies of C. lupus are recognised by MSW3. The nominate subspecies is the Eurasian wolf (Canis lupus lupus), also known as the common wolf.

Gray wolf (canis lupus) The gray wolf is also protected with law in Macedonia. According to the latest statistics, there are approximately 700 wolves in Macedonia and they are an endangered species of the macedonian fauna.

Eastern imperial eagle (aquila heliaca) The eastern imperial eagle (Aquila heliaca) is a large species of bird of prey that breeds from southeastern Europe to western and central Asia. Most populations are migratory and winter in northeastern Africa, and southern and eastern Asia. The Spanish imperial eagle, found in Spain and Portugal, was formerly lumped with this species, the name imperial eagle being used in both circumstances. However, the two are now regarded as separate species due to significant differences in morphology, ecology and molecular characteristics.

European roe deer (capreolus capreolus) The European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), also known as the western roe deer, chevreuil, or roe deer, is a Eurasian species of deer. It is relatively small, reddish and grey-brown, and welladapted to cold environments. Roe deer are widespread in Europe, from the Mediterranean to Scandin avia, and from Britain to the Caucasus. It is distinct from the somewhat larger Siberian roe deer.

European roe deer (capreolus carpeolus) Macedonia is maybe the only country where the hunting of this species is forbidden, which probably is the reason why there are 30.000 deers in Macedonia. But, after proclaiming the wild poar for an unprotected species, while shooting the wild poars, the deers are also being shot.

Aldrovanda vesiculosa â&#x20AC;˘

â&#x20AC;˘

Aldrovanda vesiculosa, commonly known as the waterwheel plant, is the sole extant species in the flowering plant genus Aldrovanda of the family Droseraceae. The plant captures small aquatic invertebrates using traps similar to those of theVenus Flytrap. The traps are arranged in whorls around a central, freefloating stem, giving rise to the common name. This is one of the few plant species capable of rapid movement. While the genus Aldrovanda is now monotypic, up to 19 extinct species are known in the fossil record. While the species displays a degree of morphological plasticity between populations, A. vesiculosa possesses a very low genetic diversity across its entire range. A. vesiculosa has declined over the last century to only 50 confirmed extant populations worldwide. These are spread across Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.

Dryas octopetala •

is an Arctic–alpine flowering plant in the family Rosaceae. It is a small prostrate evergreen subs hrub forming large colonies. The specific epithet octopetala derives from the Greek octo (eight) and petalon (petal), referring to the eight petals of the flower, an unusual number in the Rosaceae, where five is the normal number. However, flowers with up to 16 petals also occur naturally.

Diphasiastrum complanatum •

•

common names Creeping Jenny or Northern Running-pine, is a species of clubmoss native to dry coniferous forests throughout the Holarctic Kingdom. Under the original name Lycopodium complanatum, this was an inclusive superspecies that included a number of other species now known to be biologically separate. As the species is currently recognized, it is known from every province and territory in Canada except Nunavut, as well as from Greenland, northern Europe, Siberia, St. Pierre and Miquelon, and the US states of Alaska, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota Diphasiastrum complanatum is a perennial herb spreading by means of stolons that run along the surface of the ground. Above-ground stems tend to branch within the same geometric plane (hence the specific epithet "complanatum," meaning "same plane"). Strobili are vertical borne in groups of up to 4 at the ends of some of the branches.

Adiantum capillus-veneris â&#x20AC;˘

Adiantum capillus-veneris is native to the southern half of the United States from California to the Atlantic coast, through Mexico and Central America, to South America. It is also native to Eurasia, the Levant in Western Asia, and Australasia. There are two disjunct occurrences in the northern part of North America: at Cascade Springs in the Black Hills of South Dakota and Fairmont Hot Springs, British Columbia It is found in temperate climates from warmtemperate to tropical, where the moisture content is high but not saturating, in the moist, well-drained sand, loam or limestone many habitats, including rainforests, shrub and woodlands, broadleaf and coniferous forests, and desert cliff seeps, and springs. It often may be seen growing on moist, sheltered and shaded sandstone or limestone formations, generally south-facing in the southern hemisphere, north-facing in the north, or in gorges. It occurs throughout Africa in moist places by streams. On moist sandstone cliffs it grows in full or partial shade, even when unprotected.

• Syringa josikaea is a species of Lilac, native to central and eastern Europe, in the Carpathian Mountains in Hungary,Romania, and western Ukraine. • It is a deciduous shrub growing to a height of 2–4 m. The leaves are elliptic-acute, 6–12 cm long, with a finely hairy margin. The flowersare dark pink, with a tubular base to the corolla 15 mm long with a narrow four-lobed apex 3–4 mm across, with a strong fragrance; they are produced in slender panicles up to 15 cm long in early summer. The fruit is a dry, smooth brown capsule, splitting in two to release the two winged seeds.

â&#x20AC;˘ Dactylorhiza majalis (western marsh orchid, broad-leaved marsh orchid, fan orchid, common marsh orchid, or Irish Marsh-orchid) is a terrestrial Eurasian orchid. â&#x20AC;˘ The western marsh orchid grows mainly in nitrogenpoor marsh areas that consist of several plant communities. More rarely, it is found in fens. Its flowering period begins at lower elevations as early as the beginning of May and ends in higher elevations at the end of July. The lowest blossoms usually open even before the stem has reached its full height.

• Commonly known as hellebores /ˈhɛlɨbɔərz/, members of the Eurasian[1] genus Helleborus comprise approximately 20 species ofherbaceous or evergreen perennial flowering plants in the family Ranunculaceae, within which it gave its name to the tribe of Helleboreae. The scientific name Helleborus derives from the Greek name for H. orienVarious species of this genus originated in Europe and Asia. [5] The greatest concentration of species occurs in the Balkans. One atypical species (H. thibetanus) comes from western China; another atypical species (H. vesicarius) inhabits a small area on the border between Turkey and Syria. • The flowers have five "petals" (actually sepals) surrounding a ring of small, cup-like nectaries (petals modified to hold nectar). The sepals do not fall as petals would, but remain on the plant, sometimes for many months. Recent research in Spain suggests that the persistence of the sepals contributes to the development of the seeds (Herrera 2005). • talis "helleboros"; "elein" to injure and "bora" food.[

â&#x20AC;˘ Pulsatilla grandis, or the Greater Pasque Flower, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Pulsatilla of the family Ranunculaceae. It is a perennial plant that grows on calcium-rich soil in dry grasslands, in rocky outcrops, and in pine and oak forests. It flowers from February to April, in the time of the Easter (which gives it its name), with intensively blue to violet flowers. Its silk stalk is protected from the cold by velvety trichomes (hairs). Pulsatilla grandis is native to the countries of Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe, and is particularly frequent in Hungary. In some of them, it is classed as threatened.
