The press service of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation reported that 11 objects from the animal world in Russia are considered likely extinct, writes Kommersant.
“ Among them are the Black Sea Basin population of the Atlantic sturgeon, the native population Baltic sturgeon, red-footed ibis, capercaillie black bellied, Yankovsky's bunting, monk seal, kulan, Przewalski's horse and others & # 39; & # 39 ;, & mdash; specified in the department.
It is noteworthy that in the past 400 years, nine species and subspecies of animals have disappeared from the territory of Russia, including tur, steppe tarpan and the sea cow. At present, 443 objects of fauna and 676 species of plants are included in the Red Book.
Previously, the director of the Institute of Ecology and Development President of Dagestan State University Alimurad Hajiyev said that about a quarter of the Red Book seals that died on the Caspian Sea coast were found without their skin, almost all of them have traces of networks. All of this indicates poaching. & Nbsp;
The Caspian seal (Caspian seal) was listed in the Russian Red Book in 2020. The releases of dead Caspian seals off the coast of Dagestan have been observed in recent years at intervals of a few years.
