The 33 Threatened Fungi in Europe
Author: Anders Dahlberg
Publisher: Council of Europe
ISBN: 9789287159281
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
Although Europe has a high diversity of fungi and many species are threatened, no fungal species are yet included in the appendices of the Bern Convention or the EU Habitats Directive. Conservation action has often neglected fungi due in part to past insufficient knowledge of their ecology, distribution and status. This report, which contains very detailed information on 33 species threatened in Europe, was originally prepared as a list of candidate species for protection at the European level. They certainly deserve the attention of conservation agencies
