Animals listed in the Red Book

The variety of different animals we should be grateful to nature. But this gratitude is too strange. People exterminate them to the right and to the left. And every year, all new animals recorded in the Red Book, change their constant in the ranking of rare, in a sad place in the black pages.

The name of the famous, but most painfully sad book, appeared in the forties of the last century. Even before the animals that were listed in the Red Book were discussed by modern society, in the distant forty-eighth year at an international conference in Paris an international union was formed, the purpose of which was to protect the environment and, strictly speaking, animals.

Less than a year, as the union began a large-scale census, as a result of which appeared the famous Red Book. The first issue was scheduled for 1966. The very first list of rare animals was called the Red Data Book. It was, probably, truly, the most sad book in the world, which described not epic and fiction, but our cruel present.

There is a rather interesting question. But why is it still "Red"? What is the reason for this? And the answer is quite simple. This color was always a symbol of prohibition. Even insects with a shell painted in such a color, with all their appearance, say that it is better not to touch them, otherwise it will hurt.

Russian animals, listed in the Red Book for the first time in the mid-eighties, represented a rather horrifying figure - 94 species. Every year this list could only increase. This fact can only mean one thing - that animals listed in the Red Book are still in great danger. At the beginning of each year, one species disappeared. But what happens to the planet in our time, when we receive daily evidence of the disappearance of several species?

The Red Book received its warning name in order to attract public attention. It is an attempt to awaken in people a sympathy for our lesser brothers and stop the mass extermination of whole species. This book can not be considered a law. It is just a cry for the help of those few representatives of a kind that most likely do not want to be destroyed and forgotten forever.

Animals listed in the Red Book of Russia are mostly famous for their expensive, beautiful and pleasant to the touch fur. These are rodents, including river beavers, Tuva and West Siberian subspecies; Mongolian marmot tarbagan and Pribaikalsky black-capped marmot; A yellow motley and a giant mole rat, as well as a Manchurian plume. But can not you think of some other trendy robes without harming living beings?

Animals listed in the Red Book can be divided into several categories, or simply put, pages. The already mentioned sad black sheets show us those who will no longer be able to return. Red pages immediately attract attention by their extremely dangerous situation, such animals number in only a few individuals.

If suddenly the quantity of any species begins to decrease rapidly, it immediately falls on the yellow pages. White also illustrates those who have never boasted of a huge population. Unpredictable and enigmatic gray settled in their poorly studied individuals. And finally, the most joyful pages are green. It is they who show all those who have been saved from our cruel influence.

Animals listed in the Red Book are not a zoo on paper, created for the entertainment of the masses. This is a call for help to those in need, those who are not able to cope with the onslaught of human cruelty. Those who also have the right to life as well as a person who may one day also become a part of this book.
