There are 26 different habitats of plants with 220 different plants, 150 kinds of birds, and 10 kinds of mammals live in this Park and in its forest, there are 86 kinds of trees and shrubs.

58 animals species and 8 plant species are considered to be present on the Walloon territory.

3.2 Impact on the economy IS can reduce yields from agriculture, forestry and fisheries.

Alien invasive species are a growing problem to biodiversity globally and within the EU.

a dialogue in the field of air transport services with a view to examine the development of relations in areas such as aviation safety, security, environment, air traffic management, application of competition law and economic regulation of the air transport industry, with a view of supporting regulatory approximation and removal of obstacles to doing business.

This list contains species first discovered in Hong Kong, with the endemic species asterisked.

Currently 415 plant species are protected and 31 are specially protected.

(a) Flora and fauna

Over 1000 higher plant species and 153 bird species are either seriously threatened or threatened with extinction.

In addition, invasive species and increasing human presence are not only responsible for the fragility of some populations.

The Commission makes every effort to apply the criteria governing eligibility for assistance when award ing research contracts.

Two plant species were officially protected (Sophora jaubertii and Ephedra dystachya).

3.1 Impact on ecology The environmental consequences of IS are considerable, ranging from wholesale ecosystem changes and the near extinction of native species, to more subtle ecological changes.

The Red Sea is generally saltier and more nutrient poor than the Atlantic, so the Red Sea species have advantages over Atlantic species in the salty and nutrient poor Eastern Mediterranean.

The study to which I just referred counted 120 plant species, 70 species of vertebrates and 160 species of invertebrates in traditional olive groves in the province of Cordoba in Andalusia.

Article 16 defines protected plant and animal species 'especially protected nature objects'. Each of these is regulated by a specific Act.

6.2.2 The Committee is convinced that the best way to tackle the threat of IS would be through the adoption of a comprehensive, dedicated EU legal instrument as well as the establishment of a new European Agency to coordinate and execute the management of IS according to the three stage hierarchical approach.

Biodiversity is also affected, and the situation of various plant species is worrying.
