Division: protection of species territorial protection

An objective - to prevent the extinction of any organism.

It promotes the protection of the law laid down „by species“ => ban hunting, killing, trapping, collecting, disturbance during breeding

These include many species of mammals and birds on the brink of extinction - the peregrine falcon, wild cat and so on

Rare species - Elk Invertebrates - freshwater pearl mussel,

stag beetle, all kinds of bumblebees

So-called Red Books (lists) are of a great importance

These include endangered species - survival is unlikely

Vulnerable types are becoming endangered, because the causes of threats are not disappearing

• Protected sites• Protected parks• Protected natural monuments• Protected monuments

In the Czech Republic there is over 1200 small-areas

There is, also, cultural, educational, and scientific function.

What kind of small protected areas do you know?

What are the names of the endangered species lists?

National parks and protected landscape areas belong among the protected areas. What kind are they?

What are our national parks? Name three protected species.
