Abstract

Chlachula Zhensikbayeva

Endemic flora and fauna are species that are native to specific regions and are not found anywhere else in the world. These species play a critical role in maintaining biodiversity and ecological balance within their ecosystems. This article explores the significance of endemic species, their unique adaptations, and the threats they face from habitat loss, climate change, and invasive species. It also highlights the conservation efforts necessary to protect these irreplaceable components of the world's ecosystems. By examining various examples of endemic flora and fauna, we aim to understand their value and the need for their preservation.
