From their study of the state of 14.6 thousand species of European plants and animals listed in the Red Book, ecologists concluded that about 19 percent of them are at risk of extinction.
The journal PLoS One points out that, according to researchers, 27 percent of plants and 24 percent of invertebrates in Europe are at risk of extinction.
The report, prepared by an international team of scientists headed by Axel Hochkirch, supervisor of the National Museum of History in Luxembourg, stated: “The results of our analysis of the condition of more than 14.6 thousand species of European plants and animals listed in the Red Book showed that 19 percent of them are at risk of extinction, including 27 percent.” Of plant species, 24 percent of invertebrate species, and 18 percent of vertebrate species.
Combining the results of observations of individual groups of plants and animals has shown that 50 species of European plants and animals have disappeared over the past few decades, and another 75 species are considered extinct. The percentage of species threatened with extinction in the near or medium term is 19 percent of the total number of plants and animals listed in the Red Book.
According to researchers, the most endangered plants and animals live in high mountainous regions in Europe, including the Balkan Mountains and the Alps, where the endemic areas of animal and plant species in Europe are concentrated. Their accelerating disappearance is largely due to the increasing use of these ecological areas by humans, while climate change plays a secondary role in these processes.
The researchers point out that about 2.1 thousand of the plants and animals they studied exist only in Europe. Therefore, this issue must be taken into consideration when developing measures and procedures aimed at preserving biological diversity in these areas.
