The valleys of Restelica and Vraca in Kosovo have not been explored sufficiently due to their geographical position and the harshness of the terrain. The plant species Ranunculus degenii has been collected in Restelica, on the way to the border with North Macedonia or between this road and the Albanian border near Shishtavec, while the species Verbascum scardicola has been found in the Vraca valley. These localities are mainly dominated by silicate substrate, although the presence of conglomerate substrates is not excluded. These newly discovered habitats of these rare and endangered species represent their southernmost edge known to date. This paper reviews and discusses their discovery, description, distribution and mapping in these localities of the Sharri Mountains.

The study of wealth and floristic diversity, conducted during March, April, May and June 2015 in the region (Aguelmous - Moulay Bouazza - Oulmès- Tiddas- Maaziz) belonging to the central plateau, revealed the existence of 360 plant species; 46 species of Fabaceae, 44 Asteraceae, 32 and 19 respectively from Caryophyllaceae and Lamiaceae. These families comprise 43.9% of the entire flora of the study area, the rest of the species belong to 48 families with 56.10%. A significant number of endemic has been inventoried: 43 of Morocco, one of Morocco and the Iberian Peninsula 6 of Morocco and Algeria, 4 of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. Moreover, three rare and endangered species have been recorded. Also, ecological analysis based on floristic surveys between 230 m and 1630 m shows that the altitude is a discriminating factor in the distribution of vegetation.

The information about the distribution of 28 rare and endangered species of vascular plants under Federal and regional security, registered in 2018 on the territory of the Volgograd oblast under the Federal and regional security is given. Among them, 2 species (Crambe tataria Sebeok и Stipa zalesskii Wilensky ex P. A. Smirn.) are included in the List of Threatened plant species of Europe. Each location is linked to the grid of Atlas Flora Europaea. The obtained materials about the distribution of rare and endangered species of vascular plants represent an important data for long-term monitoring and also for environmental management measures at the regional level.

Since 2007 staff at Limahuli Preserve have been developing practices to effectively reintroduce native plants into a highly degraded environment, creating a forest high in diversity and a safe habitat for some of the rarest plant species on the planet. Initial efforts were focused on the Limahuli Valley and limited progress was made because of the exposed conditions and prevalence of weed species. Relocation of the project to areas with tree cover has resulted in greater success. These successes have been built on to extend the project to the reintroduction of rare and endangered species. The methods used to transform a habitat where non-native and weed species dominate to one in which native, including endangered, species thrive is described. The value of staff with horticultural knowledge and experience of the habitat and climate is stated and ideas for the future of the habitat at Limahuli Preserve are given.

The author offers mapping and geoecological analysis of the Russian Federation regions presence in the state program “Environmental Protection”. The unequal distribution of the program’s targets and activities in different regions is revealed. A considerable number of relevant environmental problems for several mentioned regions have not been reflected in the program. It is important to increase the area of specially protected natural areas for a significant number of subjects of the Russian Federation. The status “part of the territory occupied by specially protected natural territories of Federal value in the total area of the subject of the Russian Federation” is recommended to be assigned all regions of Russia. Identification and elimination of objects of accumulated environmental damage that threat to the Volga river is relevant, at least for all the regions in which the Volga flows. Not all regions with a high level of air pollution and/or large masses of air pollutants have the indicator “reduction of total emissions for the reporting year”. It is necessary to increase the Program of measures for the protection of rare and endangered species of plants and to expand the list of regions in which it is planned to protect rare and endangered species of animals.

Quantitative assessment and evaluation of ecological parameters and biodiversity conservation are prime concerns for long-term conservation of rare and endangered species and their associated habitats in any ecological region. In this study, Gansu Province, a biodiversity hotspot, was chosen as the research area. We predicted the distribution patterns of suitable habitats for rare and endangered species. The replacement cost method was adopted to calculate the conservation value of rare and endangered species. The suitable habitat distribution area of rare and endangered wild animals reached 351,607.76 km2 (without overlapping area), while that of plants reached 72,988.12 km2 (without overlapping area). The conservation value of rare and endangered wildlife is US $1670.00 million. The high-value areas are mostly concentrated in the south and north of Gansu Province. The conservation value of rare and endangered wild plants is US $56,920.00 million. The high-value areas are mostly concentrated south of Gansu Province. The conservation value is US $58,590.00 million a year, and its distribution trend is gradually decreasing from northeast to southwest, with the highest in the forest area south of Gansu Province, followed by the Qilian Mountain area in the north. These results are of great significance for future improvement of the evaluation index system of ecosystem services and the development of ecosystem services and management strategies.

[The spring presence of two individuals of the Sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, in the River Mignone near Tarquinia (Northern Lazio) could highlight a new Italian reproductive site of this rare and endangered species. This exceptional possibility could certainly be favored by the good quality of both the waters of the Mignone, and the environmental context of the record, but would require the urgent equipment of the barrier of Le Mole with a fish ladder in order to allow the sea lamprey’s upstream migration towards the areas of the upper course, even more suitable for their reproduction].   [Article in Italian]

A taxonomic survey was carried out to assess the diversity of plant genetic resources in the Horticultural farm of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. The data were collected during April 2004 to March 2005. A total of 25328 (including unidentified plant species) species were recorded in which trees, shrubs, herbs, climbers and woody grasses were 51.56, 27.60, 7.81, 10.41, and 2.61% of the total species, respectively. The total number of plants belongs to 98 families under 141 genera and 192 species (excluding unknown species). Among these, 65 fruit tree species under 38 genera and 25 families (of which 8 species were rare and endangered), 16 timber plant species under 12 genera and 9 families, 32 medicinal plant species under 29 genera and 24 families (of which 7 species were rate and endangered), 44 ornamental plant species under 34 genera and 25 families (of which 2 species were rare and endangered), 4 spices plant species under 4 genera and 4 families, 11 vegetables plant species under 9 genera and 6 families, 5 bamboo species under 2 genera and one family, 3 rattan (Bet) plant (which were rare and endangered) species under one genus and one family, 10 palm plant species under 10 genera and 2 families, and 2 rubber plant species under 2 genera and one family were recorded.
