Children's Encyclopedia "Red Book"

Living creatures inhabiting the Earth are threatened by numerous dangers, including a variety of natural disasters. They can lead to extinction of some types. But more and more often, a person becomes the cause of extinction of species. For the first time, calls to preserve the flora and fauna of our planet sounded in the first half of the twentieth century. In 1963, the first international red book was published, telling about the species that threatens the disappearance. Following her, red books appeared in different countries. In the book that you hold in your hands, you can get acquainted with those animals and plants whose existence is at risk.
