Красная книга is a special publication that lists endangered species of plants and animals. It aims to raise awareness about biodiversity and the need for conservation. The book provides information on the status of various species, highlighting those that are at risk of extinction. The first edition of Красная книга was published in the Soviet Union in 1966. Since then, many countries have created their own versions to protect local wildlife. The book serves as a crucial tool for researchers, conservationists, and policymakers in efforts to preserve the planet's natural heritage.
