The flora<\/strong> of the Republic of Macedonia is very rich and diverse and represented by 5.843 species, of which 2.169 algae and 3.674 species of plants. Recent flora of higher plants is a mosaic of various floral elements: Tertiary relicts, Mediterranean, Greek-Asia Minor, Illyric, Caucasian, Middle European, Skardo-Pindian, Eurasian, Arctic-Alpine, cosmopolitan, among which 228 species are endemic (Balkan, South Balkan, Macedonian, local, etc.). The highest number of endemic plant species (114) has been recorded with Angiosperms<\/em>.<\/p>\nThe National Red List of threatened wild plant species is under establishment. The number of threatened wild plant species is shown in Table 1. The assessment of threat of species by taxonomic groups has been carried out in accordance with international criteria contained in several international documents (conventions, agreements, Global Red List, European Red List, EU Directives).<\/p>\n
TheIUCNGlobalRedListcontains 72 taxa from the RepublicofMacedonia, 19 of which are local endemic species. The Annexes of the Bern Convention list 12 plant species having their area of spreading on the territory of the RepublicofMacedonia.<\/p>\n
Lichens <\/strong>are represented by 450 species. Considering lichens studied in the Republic of Macedonia, no lichen species have been included in Annexes I and II of EU Habitat Directive. On national level, 12 lichen species have been identified to have status of being threatened.<\/p>\nFungi <\/strong>compose exceptionally heterogeneous group of organisms and explorations so far have focused on the phyla of Ascomycota<\/em>and Basidiomycota<\/em>, while others are poorly studied. The total number of studied and recorded native fungi on the territory of the RepublicofMacedoniais 2000 species. Most of those belong to the phyla Myxomicota<\/em> (10), Oomycota<\/em> (20), Zygomicota<\/em>(35), Ascomycota<\/em> (130) and Basidiomycota<\/em> (1050).<\/p>\nFrom among studied native fungi in the Republic of Macedonia, no species has been included in Annexes II and IV of the Habitat Directive. The Preliminary National Red List of threatened fungi species includes 67 species belonging to the phylum of Basidiomycota<\/em>. There are 72 protected species, with 4 endangered fungi with endangered status.<\/p>\nFauna diversity<\/strong> is characterized with high extent of taxonomic diversity, represented by 13.320 species and 229 subspecies or 13.549 taxa in total.<\/p>\nInvertebrate animals<\/strong>(Invertebrata)are represented by 13.000 species, 635 of which are endemic. There are 43 species protected, and 28 species are endangered.<\/p>\nVertebrate wild animals <\/strong>(Vertebrata)are represented by 549 species of which 34 species are endemic. The class of fish covers 85 species of which 27 species are endemic (34.5%). The class of amphibians includes 15 species of which 4 endemic species. The class of reptiles includes 32 species, no endemics, as well as in birds involving 333 species, but no endemic species are registered. In the class of mammals there are 84 species and 3 endemic species are registered. Also in terms of the degree of endangerment of the populations of vertebrate animals in the class of fish, 15 species are included, which are included in the category of globally endangered species.<\/p>\nIt is of particular importance to point out that the fauna of vertebrate animals includes 113 species that have been enrolled on the European Red List, namely: 30 species of fish, 66 birds, 16 mammals and 1 reptile species. The National Red List of threatened fauna species is under development.<\/p>\n
Within the species diversity, particular significance is attributed to the identified \u201cEmerald\u201d species. Namely, total of 165 species have been identified, as follows: 6 species of invertebrate animals, 154 vertebrate animals (12 species of fish, 3 species of amphibians, 7 species of reptiles, 115 species of birds, 17 species of mammals and 5 species of plants).<\/p>\n
Two lists of strictly protected and protected species were adopted on national level (2011).<\/p>\n
List 1: Strictly protected wild species in the Republic of Macedonia includes: 9 species of native fungi, 51 plant species, 36 invertebrate species and 98 vertebrate species.<\/p>\n
List2: Protected wild species in the Republic of Macedonia includes: 63 species of native fungi, 12 species of lichen, 151 plant species, 507 invertebrate species and 87 vertebrate species.<\/p>\n

It envisages action towards development of National Red Lists and Red Book of the Republic of Macedonia.<\/p>\n
The National Strategy for Biological Diversity Protection with Action Plan (NSBAP) defines integrated approach to the protection and sustainable use of components of biological diversity. The Strategic Action Plan (SAP) outlines the specific actions to be taken to achieve the targets. One of the measures in this document is the Protection of Species, through several actions concerning elaboration of National Red Lists and Red Book of the Republic of Macedonia, and protection of globally endangered wild species. Particularly important conservation activities concern protection of butterflies, Pelister, Pelagonia and Lokven dragonfly, Macedonian crayfish, From among vertebrate animals, critically endangered and endangered endemic and other fish species (lamprey, trout, eel), amphibians (sand-hoppers, frogs), reptiles (turtles, lizards, snakes), birds of prey (vultures, eagles, falcons, wild species of migratory waterbirds, other wild bird species, small size mammals (rodents, bats), wild carnivores: bear, lynx, wolf, golden jackal, otter, marten, badger, souslik, Balkan snow vole, Balkan chamois, red deer, deer, etc.<\/p>\n
From among plants, the following have been identified: endemic and relict species Ema\u2019s Thymus oehmianus<\/em>, Alshar\u2019s Thymus alcharensis<\/em>, Macedonian ramonda (Ramonda macedonica), Balkan ramonda(Ramonda serbica), Mariana\u2019s tulip(Tulipa marianae), Sharplanina tulip (Tulipa scardica), Mayer\u2019s nepeta (Nepeta ernesti-mayeri), Alshar\u2019s violet (Viola allchariensis), Arsen\u2019s violet (Viola arsenica), Koshaninova violet (Viola kosaninii), spring Adonis flower (Adonis vernalis), orchids (Orchidaceae), Macedonian dwarf pine (Pinus mugo macedonicus), Macedonian oak (Quercus macedonicus), etc.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Legal grounds<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Law on Nature Protection provides for elaboration of National Red Lists and Red Book of the Republic of Macedonia, as well as proclamation of strictly protected wild species and protected wild species, by which they shall acquire the status of natural heritage. It is also legal obligation to establish Cadastre of protected areas and Registry of natural heritage including also strictly protected and protected wild species in the Republic of Macedonia.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
