SPECIES PROTECTION
An objective - to prevent the extinction of any
organism.

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

unlikely
 Vulnerable types are becoming endangered,
because the causes of threats are not
disappearing
 International cooperation is very important for
conservation => formation of organizations and
movements
