The flora and fauna of Kazakhstan are very rich. But man does destructive harm to nature. This affects primarily animals and plants. A large number of species of living beings are on the verge of extinction. For example, the saiga, which for forty years has been considered the main food animal, although not yet listed in the Red Book, already has the status of a vulnerable species. At the moment, the government of Kazakhstan is making great efforts and investing a lot of money to restore the saiga population.
Edition
"So what is the "Red Book of Kazakhstan"?" - you ask. This is a compilation of various information about plants and animals that are on the verge of extinction due to human interference.
In 1948, the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources) commission introduced the "Red Book of Facts". To create it, it took many years of work in order to collect all the information on endangered species of animals and plants.
Species of animals and birds
All species of animals that are listed in the Red Book are divided into five categories:
- I. Endangered species.
- II. Rare species.
- III. Reducing species.
- IV. Little studied species, i.e. indeterminate.
- V. Refurbished. These are species that have been successfully rescued and are no longer in danger.
Edition lists
Lists from the categories of the Red Book are printed on paper of different colors. Species from the first point (disappearing) - on red sheets, from the second (rare) - on yellow, from the third (decreasing) - on white, from the fourth (indeterminate) - on gray, and from the fifth (restored) - on green.
All animals of the Red Book of Kazakhstan, which are threatened by any danger, are under state protection. Even the country where one of the species listed in this book lives is obliged to protect it, and has a great responsibility to all people for the safety of this animal, which is a treasure of nature.
If a species of animals or birds disappears in the Republic of Kazakhstan, they must be entered in the reference book, which is called the "Red Book of Kazakhstan". Plants that are also threatened with imminent extinction are also included in this publication. This is done in order to have time to help restoredisappearing view.
For large animals, special closed reserves are formed, where species of animals that are threatened with extinction are imported. Usually these are females and males, they are created habitual habitat conditions for them, where they begin to breed, and thereby replenish their species.
Representatives of the Red Book
Here is a list of several families of animals and birds listed in the Red Book of this republic.
- Families Accipitridae, Falconidae, Anatidae, Herons and others.
- Ungulates (gazelle, kulan, argali, deer).
- Predatory (snow leopards, bears, sand cats, manuls).
- Rodents (beavers, marmots, jerboas).
- Waterfowl (long-spined hedgehog, muskrat).
- Waterfowl (pelicans, swans, flamingos, storks).
- Steppe inhabitants (falcons, eagles, cranes, bustards).
This list is far from exhaustive, it includes reptiles and fish, various plants and flowers - such as peonies, crocuses, Kolpakovsky's Iridodictium, Real slipper, Helmet-shaped orchid.
The Red Book of Kazakhstan, unfortunately, is annually updated with new animals, plants and birds that need human help in restoring their species. The first lists were compiled in 1963 by a commission that included scientists from around the world. Currently, such books are available in many states.
The Red Book of Kazakhstan was created by the prominent zoologist Sludsky. His works were devoted to the protection of animals of this republic. Entering someany living creature in the Red Book is a very bad sign, this encourages taking appropriate measures to protect nature and its inhabitants.
Summarize
The flora of Kazakhstan has about six thousand species of plants, not counting the five hundred that were accidentally brought. Aquatic vegetation is the poorest in the republic. There are a lot of trees that are on the verge of extinction.
The Red Book of Kazakhstan has more than four hundred species of flowers and plants. Entire programs for the conservation of nature and wildlife are being created in the republic. There is another problem that the local authorities are trying to solve. This is the restoration of the lists of those plants, insects, birds and animals that were not included in the Red Book of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
This must be done so that future generations have at least an idea about the animals that disappeared and were exterminated by man. After all, as we all know, it is man who is to blame for these tragedies. Nature must be protected, and poachers illegally hunt animals and fish that are already listed in the Red Books of many countries. There are laws prohibiting the capture of animals located in reserves. Therefore, think before committing this or that action that can harm nature.

Foreign policy of Kazakhstan. Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Strategic partners of Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan's foreign policy is barely 25 years old. After gaining independence in 1991, the country had to form an international policy practically from scratch, because previously the union ministry was responsible for all the main directions. Having a long common border with geopolitical heavyweights like Russia and China, the country is trying to pursue a balanced, multi-vector policy. The US also has its own interests in Kazakhstan, as it is a country with a good geographical position
