Alpine Convention

J. Entomol.

The flora and fauna had disappeared.

Australia has a diverse flora and fauna.

As for aquatic fauna, fish varieties are found in abundance.

Fauna is represented by such animals as wolf, fox and rabbit.

The Alpine Network of Protected Areas has engaged in a partnership with the managers of mountain protected areas in the neighbouring Carpathians.

It is one of the most sparsely populated areas of the state.

The wild fauna include wild boar, wild sheep, wild goat and cervids.

For every island is destined for a spectacular final flourish

East Africa has a rich coral fauna with about 400 known species.

The animals of Australia had evolved very slowly in almost complete isolation from the animals of other continents.

They specialize here in giraffes, African ungulates, Nordic fauna and marine aquariums.

The fauna contains 43 types of mammals, 194 types of birds, 10 types of reptiles, 9 types of amphibians and 40 types of fish.

Natural heritage There are 514 species of reef fish, including several new species.

With its integrative approach embracing ecological, economic and social aspects, the Alpine Convention has been a precursor for other mountain areas and conventions.

49 species of fish and 47 species of mammals are registered in the area of the nature reserve, along with 772 species of vascular plants.

Also there are 217 different types of fauna, 29 of which are included in the Red Book of Ukraine as well.

The next oldest possible animal fossils are found towards the end of the Precambrian, around 610 million years ago, and are known as the Ediacaran or Vendian biota.

The forest harbors around 20,000 species of plants, with almost 450 tree species being found in just one hectare in some occasions.

In shallow water flora and fauna is concentrated around coral reefs where there is little variation in water temperature, purity and salinity.

Of marine snails, less diversity is present in Atlantic coast, more in tropical Western Indian Ocean region (over 3000 species of gastropods with 81 endemic species).

Overall, the vertebrate fauna of the national park is represented of one species of cyclostomata, 20 species of fishes, 12 species of amphibians, 7 species of reptiles, 141 species of birds, 52 species of mammals.

The soil solid phase chemistry, fauna and flora reacted slower than the soil solution and recovery could take many decades.

This fauna is highly endemic, with 56 per cent being found only in trenches and 95 per cent occurring only in a single trench.24 Species diversity declines with depth, especially below 8,500 metres.

So far species of 31 mammals, 181 birds, 3 reptiles, 9 amphibians, 11 annelids, 17 mollusks and 127 insects belonging to six orders have been identified and documented.

Aquarium, the Marine Life Pavilion Based upon the notion that marine life is the source of all life, the exhibition sought to present the diversity of the earth's marine resources, as well as the viability of their continuous use and development by humankind.

(b) environment includes natural resources, both abiotic and biotic, such as air, water, soil, fauna and flora and the interaction between the same factors, and the characteristic aspects of the landscape

Today the wealth of the islands of the Caribbean is to be found in its people and their institutions, its biodiverse flora and fauna, its tropical reefs and tropical rain forests and its incredible natural beauty.

However extensive areas of forest remain and the fauna is still especially rich in the southern parts of Equatorial Guinea and in Gabon, which has designated large areas as national parkland, including Loango National Park in this ecoregion.

Iraq also contends that the reduction in the catches of shrimp and grouper for 1990 to 2001 was due to increased fishing effort and the over exploitation of most of the commercial fish stocks and not due to the invasion and occupation.

Kerala's fauna are notable for their diversity and high rates of endemism it includes 102 species of mammals (56 of which are endemic), 476 species of birds, 202 species of freshwater fishes, 169 species of reptiles (139 of them endemic), and 89 species of amphibians (86 endemic).
