The brightest representatives of animals from the Red Book of the Perm Territory

Birds are the most common representatives in the category of creatures in need of protection. And a particularly striking representative among them can be called a bird from the order of falconiformes - the golden eagle.

The golden eagle is the largest phylum of eagles in the region, growing to over 90cm tall and with a wingspan of approximately 2.5m. This feathered predatorserves as a forester for its habitat. Due to his food preferences, namely, addiction to carrion, the territory is cleansed of rot. As a rule, he chooses the sickest animal from the herd, thereby making the population he althier. Berkut belongs to the first category in the "animals" section of the Red Book of the Perm Territory, and to the third category in the Russian Federation. This species is under special control of the International Convention. Special efforts are being made to preserve it.

Whooper Swan

The whooper swan is another representative from the category of animals of the Red Book of the Perm Territory, which is on the list of endangered due to human activities. It is because of the regular extermination by poachers that the whooper swan was in the first risk group. In Bashkortostan, this species falls into the first category of risk groups for extinction, and for this reason it requires protection.

The whooper swan is a rather large bird, the weight of an adult bird reaches 10 kg, the body length reaches 160 cm, and the wingspan is 240 cm.

An interesting fact is that these animals of the Perm Territory, listed in the Red Book, are considered a national treasure and a symbol of Finland. It is this swan that acts as a symbol of fidelity, nobility and family happiness. Not many animals of the Red Book of the Perm Territory can boast of such a number of legends and beliefs, but the whooper swan has become a very dense part of the folklore of many peoples. Only one legend about him will be told further, but it will also make it possible to understand how unusual the namedcreature.

Animals of the Red Book of the Perm Territory: short stories

Once white clouds wanted to descend into the tundra and rest in its green expanses. But the price for this was the transformation of their white birds, which in the future will only occasionally be allowed to again become a cloud and soar above the earth. But the tundra beckoned, and the clouds agreed to her condition, after which they turned into many beautiful and proud white swans.

Exotic representative, a rare animal from the Red Book of the Perm region

Animals of the Perm Territory, listed in the Red Book, hide in their lists such an exotic representative as the South Russian tarantula.

This species of tarantula belongs to the category of large spiders with a dense cover of small hairs. The size of his body reaches up to 35 mm. The poison that he injects under the skin is classified as dangerous to the human body. After the bite, a tumor appears and there are quite strong pain sensations. To avoid the spread of poison throughout the body, the bite site must be exposed to high temperatures, for example, a burning match that can be put out on it will do just fine.

Although the animals of the Perm Territory are included in the Red Book of this region, they are often representatives of the Red Books of other regions of Russia and the general state Red Book. True, the categories of uniqueness can differ significantly, but the overall picture does not change very significantly. Animals listed in the Red Book of the Perm Territory are subject toconservation. And their defenders are doing their best to create the most favorable conditions for the existence and reproduction of representatives of fauna and flora.

Plants of the Perm Territory from the Red Book

Plants in this region have been subjected to heavy human disturbance in recent years, significantly reducing their total population.

This situation is caused by the expansion of developed territories and the development of human activities in the agricultural and industrial sectors. All this entails cutting down forests, drying up swamps, deepening into the bowels of the earth.

But at the government level they are trying to resolve the issue of how rare plants and animals of the Red Book of the Perm Territory will be preserved.

The list of rare plants includes 343 species, of which:

- 174 species are angiosperms;

- 6 species are gymnosperms;

- 21 species are ferns;

- 1 species - moss;

- 37 species - algae;

- 45 species - moss;

- 55 species - fungi; - 59 species - lichens.

Medicinal plants of Primorye

A separate place in the named list is allocated to medicinal plants. Since in this region there are most of them. More than 1000 medicinal plants have been found in the Urals. They occupy territory in protected areas and gardens, which are protected at the state level.

The list of such territories includes:

• Botanical Garden of Perm State University;
• Collection site in the Kishertsky district of Permedges;
• Visherskits State Reserve. The list of rare plants in this area is updated annually through research;
• Collection site in Perm, based on the farm "Lipovaya Gora".

Ginseng real or Panax

Ginseng real, which is also known as Panax, can be called a vivid representative of the unique plants of this region. This plant is unique in its composition, which includes the entire periodic table. There is a sea of myths and legends about it, and among the people it has acquired the name "Root of Life". The plant is credited with magical properties, claiming that it returns youth and strength to old people.

Since ancient times, ginseng has been highly valued - only gold was paid for it. The cost was determined by the weight of the plant - the weight of ginseng was equal to the weight of gold. It should be noted that real ginseng grows only in Primorsky Krai.

Ginseng is a great gift of nature that requires special protection.

Spring Adonis - perennial and unique

Spring Adonis rightfully takes its place of honor in the book of unique plants. The people call it "Adonis", this is due to the flowering, which blazes like a fire in the spring. He is one of the first to bloom after winter and with his color boldly declares the awakening of nature.

The plant reaches a height of up to 50 cm and is among the poisonous plants, but the correct use and compliance with dosages gives it medicinal properties. Given the toxicity of adonis, the plant requires care when harvesting, which,By the way, and becomes the reason for his disappearance. People, trying to protect themselves, damage the plant itself, and this, in the end, leads to a reduction in its reproduction.

Primorsky Krai is very rich in its nature, and in order not to lose it all, you need to protect its natural resources.
