Rare animals of Kursk region

There are many rare animals in the Kursk region, such as the black stork, dormouse, European mink and others. One of the significant reasons for the extinction of animals is the hunting of people. Most people hunt for fun, and this is a shame. If hunting can still be banned, then the following reasons for the disappearance of animals - no. One of them is deforestation and drainage of lakes and swamps.

Black stork

The black stork is a rare bird belonging to the family of storks and the order of stork-like. Unlike the white stork, the black stork does not like neighborhood with people and will never settle near human habitation. Therefore, interest in this bird is caused by the fact that its lifestyle is still not well understood. Lives in forest regions of Eurasia. In Russia, it can be found in swamps, near rivers and in areas where there are many forests. Often found near the Baltic Sea and in the south of Siberia. Also on Sakhalin. A separate population is distributed in the southern part of the Russian Federation, in the forest regions of Chechnya. It is found in the forests of Dagestan and Stavropol. The vast majority of people build nests near Primorye. In winter he spends in the south of Asia. Abundance and limiting factors. The number is stable at a low level, in some regions it has decreased. In the territory of Russia, three districts of an increased number of species are registered: Kaliningrad Region, where up to 80 pairs live, the Caucasus - 40-50 pairs, and Primorye - up to 150 pairs. In the rest of the territory, nesting is sporadic. At least 10 pairs nest in the Leningrad Region, 10-15 pairs in Bryansk and Smolensk, 5-10 pairs in Nizhny Novgorod, and in the Ryazan Region. In the area of ​​the Okinsky Reserve, up to 3-5 residential nests have been found over several years. In Bashkiria, the facts of nesting of storks were known in the last century; in recent years, nests were not recorded here, but birds were recorded during the nesting period. Also, breeding time is rare in the West. Siberia, Altai, Central and East. Siberians.

Black stork

In 1993, out of 30 reserves in the breeding area, the species was recorded in 22, the total number of breeding pairs in 17 reserves, where the count was carried out, was 61. 2300-2500 pairs of black stork nest in the territory. Russia in the early 80's. 3-5 thousand pairs nest on the territory of the USSR, in the late 80s - from 5 to 10 thousand pairs. Information about the dynamics of the number of storks is contradictory. Many believe that its number is falling, for example, in Primorye, Altai and Bashkiria. At the same time, this species was not registered in the Ryazan Region until the 1950s, after which it turned out to be relatively common in the Okinsky Reserve; The same thing happened in the area of ​​the Bryansk Forest Reserve. These examples do not indicate an increase in numbers, but a poor study of species in the past. There are reports of an increase in the number of black storks. In the Kaliningrad region, their number decreased from 90 pairs in the 30s to 40-50 pairs in the 70s and 80s, and by 1985-1987. It has grown to 70-80 pairs. Limiting factors: reduction of breeding areas associated with deforestation of mature and overripe forests, especially in the European part of the country. In the 60s. an increase in embryonic mortality was assumed due to the use of organochlorine compounds for agricultural work in the habitats of storks, especially in places of halt during migrations and wintering, chemical analysis did not confirm this

Forest dormouse

Forest dormouse is a small wild rodent that looks like a hamster with a long fluffy tail. Sony's body length is about 10 centimeters, and its tail is placed at 10 centimeters. Sonya's coat is very soft and silky, gray-beige. From nose to ears on both sides of the muzzle there is a dark strip along which the forest dormouse is easy to distinguish from other rodents. Thanks to tenacious claws on its paws, Sonia climbs trees well. Limiting factor. Violation of the natural forest habitat, poor development, reduction in the number of old hollow trees, poor fruiting of trees and shrubs.

European mink

Mink benefits nature and man. Hunting rodents, he regulates their numbers. This furry animal often falls prey to hunters because of its valuable fur. Mink is well domesticated. Many keep him in apartments as a pet. They are also grown on special farms. In connection with a sharp reduction in the number of animals in 1996, it is listed in the Red Book. According to studies, it was possible to stop the decline in the number of representatives of this species, but the population has not yet increased. Recently, hunters stopped hunting for European mink, destroying its relative American mink, which has more valuable fur. European mink suffers from person to person. Hunting, water pollution, shallowing of rivers, due to which the animal cannot get food, loss of habitats - all these factors negatively affect the state of the population.

Causes of animal extinction

One of the significant reasons for the extinction of animals is hunting, as well as human influence on their habitat. This is deforestation and drainage of lakes and swamps. The creation of artificial reservoirs, the extraction of minerals, the construction of roads and dams, the plowing of land for arable land or the expansion of pastures, pollution with sewage and toxic substances, industrial fishing and shooting, the introduction of alien species of flora and fauna. This list has no end. All this is human activity, under the influence of which the destruction of animals occurs.

Causes of animal extinction

Conventionally, such activities can be divided into two categories. Some cause animal death indirectly - due to environmental impacts. Others are immediate. They affect the animal world itself. The first includes disturbance of the habitat, extraction of natural resources and environmental pollution, including the introduction of organisms and vegetation, unusual and hostile to this natural zone. To the second: the appearance and acclimatization of alien species of the animal world, the deliberate or careless destruction of animals, for trade, protection of economic activity or other purposes. The implications can be global and concrete. To the global one can be attributed those in which the destruction is not of one particular species, but several in a certain territory. This is usually associated with the destruction of flora and environmental changes. This is not the destruction of the biosystem as such, but its replacement with another. For example, plowing the steppes for agricultural needs, deforestation for the construction of roads or settlements, the melting of glaciers and the expansion of deserts. And this has consequences for certain types of animals. They can cause the listed methods of human invasion into existing environmental conditions. It is unacceptable to justify the usefulness or harmfulness of killing animals; an environmental problem in this case is almost inevitable.

Protection and restoration

Like the extermination of animals, their protection should pursue two goals. Protect the animals themselves as well as their habitat. For this, protected areas of various formats and legal status are created. These are: nature reserves, nature reserves, national and natural parks.
