Vegetation and fauna of Kuban presentation. Flora and fauna of Kuban

  • 04.07.2020

The Krasnodar region is located in the southwestern part of Russia.

Formed on September 13, 1937, the subject of the Russian Federation borders on many regions, territories and republics: the Rostov region, the Stavropol region, the Karachay-Cherkess Republic, Adygea and Abkhazia.

Flora of the Krasnodar region

The Krasnodar region is famous mainly for its steppe vegetation from Rostov to Kuban. Previously, feather grass, wheatgrass, vetch, and timothy grass grew in these territories, but now their place has been taken by fields of wheat.

Before the Krasnodar region became popular among tourists, hazel, lush almonds, and the ubiquitous thorn grew along the rivers. But now on the floodplains you can find willow, willow, poplar, and alder. Also in these places grow: oaks, elderberries, thorns, wild roses and other plants.

Steppe vegetation consists of sage, wormwood, as well as licorice, alfalfa and timothy.

Well-moistened areas of the Krasnodar Territory are overflowing with aquatic vegetation. On the estuaries you can see white flower, nickel nymph, steam-water walnut, duckweed and ferns. Along the estuaries, on the shore, reeds, cattails and kuga grow. In the Krasnodar Territory there are places where lotuses grow.

Shallow estuaries and dry swamps are suitable for growing rice, so these places are often used by the population.

If we talk about the Black Sea coast and its vegetation, it is worth noting the diversity of mountain nature.

The forests of these places are overflowing with mosses, vines and heat-loving plants. They are distinguished by their multi-tiered nature. Thanks to the warm climate, fallen leaves create the ground floor in autumn, so mountain forests always have young vegetation. In such forests you can find oaks, beeches, chestnuts, lindens, and maples. The following types of trees are also often found: birch, apple and pear, cherry, cherry plum and dogwood.

The high mountain zone is suitable for growing fir trees.

Blueberries, rowan berries and rhododedrod grow under the tree trunks.

Behind the forests there is a subalpine. Umbelliferous and leguminous plants, ranunculaceae and asteraceae grow here. Some of the representatives of these plants are hogweed, whitebeard, rosette, primrose and cuffs.

Fauna of the Krasnodar region

The fauna of the Krasnodar region is quite wide and diverse. Many animals living in these territories are listed in the Red Book.

Representatives of rare and protected animals are: ferret, Caucasian otter, golden eagle, bustard, snake eagle, gravedigger, steppe eagle, osprey, pelicans and many other animals.

The forest zone is perfect for the habitat and life of many animals. For example, foxes, pheasants, quails, hedgehogs, moles, jerboas and hares.

The most valuable and rare species of animals are found in the mountains. Here you can find wild boars, Caucasian deer, jackals, roe deer, mountain goats and bison. Predatory representatives also include brown bears, wolves, foxes, lynxes, badgers and others.

Otters and minks live near the rivers, and raccoon dogs are also found not far from them.

Rare species in the Krasnodar region are mountain goats, mountain bison, chamois, Caucasian snowcocks and Caucasian black grouse.

There are a lot of fish in the rivers, you can even find sturgeon species.

Among the birds and galliformes, you can find many geese, ducks and sandpipers here.

Representatives of reptiles are: marsh and Greek turtles, water and common snakes, steppe vipers and legless lizards.

The forests are home to a huge number of birds. In the valleys you can hear the trills and flapping of the wings of magpies, orioles, blackbirds, cuckoo jays and owls. The sound of woodpeckers can be heard everywhere. Harriers, falcons and hawks live in lowland areas.

The Krasnodar Territory is also home to bitterns, black grouse, quails, mountain turkeys, cormorants, gulls, and eagle owls. In cities and villages there are also a considerable number of birds: swallows, sparrows, pigeons, tits, starlings and others.

Climate in the Krasnodar region

Spring comes at the beginning of March. Characterized by temperature variability and strong winds. The average temperature in April is +10 degrees.

Summer in the Krasnodar region lasts almost 5 months. The average temperature is 25-30 degrees, sometimes higher. Krasnodar summer is characterized by frequent rains followed by sun.

Autumn comes in October. The temperature during this period does not rise above 15 degrees, and closer to December it drops lower and lower. This month sees frequent precipitation in the form of heavy rains. The first snow falls in November, but lasts no more than 2 days.

Winter in the Krasnodar region is quite mild. The average winter temperature is from 0 to 2 degrees. There is almost no snow cover, only on the mountain peaks.

Fauna and flora of Kuban

Reservoirs of the Krasnodar region. Black and Azov seas

Kuban River

Chelbas Bolshaya Laba

Caucasian State Biosphere Reserve. The reserve was created in 1924. It is located on the northern and southern slopes of the Main Caucasus Range. The total area of ​​the reserve is 280 thousand hectares. Main goals: nature conservation, restoration of valuable species of animals and birds: bison, aurochs, Caucasian deer, etc.

The following rivers flow through the reserve: Mzymta, Khosta, Shakhe, Sochi, Belaya, Malaya Laba, etc. There are more than 120 lakes. They are small in area and are often completely free of ice only by mid-summer. The largest lake in the reserve is Lake Silence. Lakes Khuko, Kardyvach, Goluboe and Atsetuk lakes are especially beautiful.

The nature of the Caucasus State Biosphere Reserve is uniquely beautiful and diverse.

More than 3,000 plant species grow in the Krasnodar region. This wealth of flora is explained by the diversity of natural conditions in the region. Unreasonable economic activities of people have led to the fact that some plants are becoming rare and disappearing. They are listed in the Red Book of Kuban.

Mineral resources of the Krasnodar region.

Krasnodar region is the oldest oil-producing region in Russia. Oil production began in 1864.

Animals are inhabitants of natural areas.
Protection of the organic world of the Krasnodar region

1. Define the meaning of the terms.

Population- a long-term group of individuals of the same species.

Area- this is an area on the surface of the earth or water that is occupied by one or another type of plant, animal, or fish.

Relic- a thing, phenomenon or organism preserved as a relic from ancient eras.

2. Using the “fishbow” technique, draw up a diagram “Fauna of natural complexes of the Krasnodar region.

3. Solve the Chinaword, which encrypts the names of animals living in the Krasnodar Territory and the Black Sea, and write down which of them are listed in the Red Book.

Bottlenose dolphin, mink, newt are listed in the Red Book

4. Mark the correct statements with a + sign.

— The species diversity of the fauna of the steppe zone does not depend on human activity
— Waterfowl live in the Azov region: hamster, weasel, hedgehog, hare, badger
+ The Trans-Kuban plain is inhabited by both steppe and forest representatives of the animal world.
— Among the predators in our region, the largest is the bison
+ The smallest predator living in the region is the weasel.

5. Make a list of the largest environmental organizations operating in the Krasnodar Territory. Use the information posted on the website of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Krasnodar Territory (mprkk.ru). Find out if there are specially protected natural areas in your area, including botanical natural monuments. Prepare a short report about one of them.

- World Wildlife Fund. Separate division of the Russian Caucasus department
— Rosprirodnadzor, department of the Federal Service for Supervision of Natural Resources in the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Adygea
— Azov-Black Sea Basin Department for Fisheries and Conservation of Aquatic Biological Resources
— Regional Information and Analytical Center for Environmental Monitoring
— Kuban environmental company
— Kuban State Agrarian University Research Institute of Applied and Experimental Ecology
— Kuban Environmental Center
— Center for Legal Defense and Ecology

Natural monuments
Plane trees two trees 150 years old - a botanical natural monument in Krasnodar, the Giant Oak - a natural monument since 1978 in Krasnodar, Gorky Park - is an active natural-historical cultural monument. In the park named after Zhukov there are botanical cultural monuments 100 - summer maple-leaved plane trees "Beauties".

6. Reflect on the statement of the Russian writer Mikhail Prishvin: “In nature, everything is connected with each other, and there is nothing random in it. And if a random phenomenon occurs, look for the hand of a person in it.” Write a short essay-reasoning. Reflect in it the natural features of the Krasnodar region and the role of man in transforming the environment.

In nature, everything was perfected not over years or even millennia, but over millions of years. Everything about her is harmonious. Not only Prishvin wrote about this. Einstein argued that there is nothing random in nature, and if something seems random to us, then it is only the result of our incomplete knowledge. Unfortunately, humans often play a destructive role in nature, and environmental problems arise due to their activities. First of all, this is water pollution and depletion of water resources. There is a decrease in the species and number of fish in reservoirs. The Kuban River flows in the Krasnodar Territory, the waters of which do not meet safety standards. Swimming is prohibited in the reservoir, so local beaches have been eliminated.
Another problem is soil erosion and a decrease in their fertility, especially in coastal areas. Some natural monuments, such as national parks, are also being destroyed. Rare species of flora and fauna are disappearing in the region.
One of the significant environmental problems of the Krasnodar Territory is pollution by oil and petroleum products. Due to some accidents, the situation has reached disastrous levels. The largest leaks were observed in the following settlements: Tuapse; Yeysk; Tikhoretsk
There are leaks of kerosene and gasoline at oil depots. Lenses appeared underground in these places where oil products were concentrated. They pollute the soil and groundwater.
It is high time to realize that it is necessary to take care of nature and protect it for the sake of continuing our life on earth.

In the northeastern part of the region, in the Kuban-Azov lowland, steppe animals are common. Field mice, gophers, jerboas, moles, and hamsters live here. All of them are harmful to agriculture. They live in burrows and feed on grain and leaves. Predators include foxes, weasels, and ferrets. Birds include larks, quails, gray partridges, crows, and magpies. There are also predators - kites, owls, owls, steppe harrier.

In gardens and parks you can see finches, tits, buntings, and starlings.

In the Kuban delta, in the floodplains and estuaries, there are wild boars, foxes, waterfowl: pelicans, gulls, ducks, lapwings, waders, geese, herons, and sometimes swans arrive. The muskrat lives in the estuaries. In the floodplains of the Kalininsky district there is the largest multi-species colony of storks in the region.

Forest fauna

In the mountains and foothills there is an abundance of forest fruits and lush meadow grasses. This creates favorable conditions for the habitat of animals and birds. Wild pigs graze in small herds of oak and beech forests. Unlike domestic pigs, wild pigs are somewhat shorter and taller on their legs. Old boars reach 100-150 kilograms of weight. They are covered with thick, coarse bristles of a dark brown and sometimes almost black color. The male has fangs.

In broad-leaved forests there are small roe deer, the size of a domestic goat, resembling a deer in appearance. Only males have horns. They hunt for food by bear, wolf, jackal, raccoon dog, badger, fox, and marten. On the river banks there are mink and otter. They dive and swim well, feed on fish and frogs.

Among the reptiles there are: snakes - common and water snakes, vipers - steppe and Koznakov's viper (found high in the mountains), legless spindle lizard and yellow-bellied lizard.

In the morning, the forest and valleys of the foothills are filled with the singing and chirping of various birds.

Predators of the Krasnodar region

Magpies chirp, blackbirds whistle, cuckoos crow, jays call to each other, wagtails scurry around the streams, shaking their tails; Along the banks of the rivers you can hear the melodic tune of the yellow-lemon oriole, red falcons quickly rush after prey, and woodpeckers, the healers of the forests, methodically tap on the bark of the tree trunks. Agile shrikes hunt for insects. The nimble bee-eater chases bees and bumblebees, grabbing them in flight with its long, thin beak. Owls, eagle owls, starlings, grosbeaks, goldfinches, kingfishers, tits fly here, and high in the mountains - Caucasian grouse and mountain turkeys. Blue rollers, tree sparrows and shore swallows live along the steep banks of rivers.

Birds bring great benefits to the national economy by destroying harmful insects and rodents. For example, one swallow catches more than a thousand plant pests per day. Woodpeckers save hundreds of trees by eating beetle larvae hidden under the bark. An owl kills a thousand mice over the summer, and each mouse eats 1 kilogram of grain per year. It turns out that only one owl saves us a ton of bread a year.

Not all birds live with us all year round. Many live only in the summer, hatch their chicks, and fly to warmer climes in the fall. There are about 320 species of birds in Kuban.
Soil and air pollution has led to a sharp reduction in the number of insectivorous birds: starlings, swallows, sparrows. But the number of crows and pigeons has increased. City garbage dumps serve as an excellent food supply for them.

The fauna of the Black Sea is diverse, but is concentrated mainly in the upper layer. Of the commercially important fish, beluga, sturgeon, stellate sturgeon, herring, anchovy, sprats, bream, mullet, horse mackerel, mackerel, and flounder are of commercial importance. There are dolphins. The Sea of ​​Azov is inhabited by fish: ram, herring, sturgeon (beluga, sturgeon, stellate sturgeon), sprat, shemaya, horse mackerel.

In rivers and estuaries live: bream, silver bream, asp, carp, catfish and other fish.

The Krasnodar region is located in the south of our country, so it is much warmer here than, for example, in the Moscow region. In the Kuban-Azov lowland, in the foothills and mountains, on the Black Sea coast and the Taman Peninsula, different weather can be observed at the same time of year. Each season has its own weather. These annually recurring weather patterns make up the climate of a given area. It depends on the geographical location, proximity of seas, terrain and prevailing winds. The climate of most of our region is temperate continental, on the Black Sea coast (south of Tuapse) it is subtropical - humid.

The territory of the Kuban Plain is open from the north, that is, it is accessible to the action of Arctic air masses.

The formation of weather has a certain influence cyclones and anticyclones. Cyclones (air masses with low atmospheric pressure) usually bring rainy, unstable weather. Anticyclones (air currents with high atmospheric pressure) contribute to the establishment of stable weather, warm in summer and cold in winter.

With easterly and northeasterly winds, dry and hot weather occurs in summer. In winter, these winds cause cold weather. A particularly sharp drop in temperature is observed during the breakthrough of Arctic air masses in the Ciscaucasia. The air temperature drops to minus 20-25°.

Winds from the southwest bring coolness and rain in summer, and thaws and precipitation in the form of snow and rain in winter.

Local winds also influence the climate. These include breezes and hair dryers.

Hairdryers- warm, dry winds blowing from the mountains, often in October - December. There are cases when in December, with such a wind, the air temperature in Krasnodar reached 15-20°C. Foes are observed on the Black Sea coast, in the mountainous and foothill parts and (weakened) in the Kuban-Azov lowland, lasting up to 1-2 days.

Breezes, or coastal winds, blow on the coast of the Black and Azov Seas, during the day from sea to land, at night - from land to sea.

The Black Sea cools the coast in summer with breezes; in winter, on the contrary, it warms it, releasing the heat accumulated on hot days. The high Caucasus Mountains trap cold air currents coming from the north.

A cold northeast (northeast) wind blowing from the mountains with hurricane force is called boroy. Strong nor'easters prevail in winter, when there is a large difference in barometric pressure on land (high) and at sea (low).

The highest wind speeds were observed in the north-west of the Black Sea coast in the Novorossiysk region. The air temperature drops to 15-18° below zero.

There are usually about 50 days with bora per year (usually in November and March). Wind speed reaches 45-50 meters per second (with gusts up to 100 m/s). Bora often leads to icing of ships docked in the bay and causes great damage to the city economy.

On the territory of the Krasnodar Territory, vegetation is distributed into zones. Latitudinal and vertical zoning is clearly expressed here. The steppe zone occupies the entire Kuban-Azov lowland. In the recent past, this was a forb-fescue-feather grass steppe. Currently, almost all of it is plowed and turned into vast collective and peasant farm fields, where wheat, corn, sugar beets, sunflowers, barley, and vegetables and melons are cultivated. In total, there are more than 3 thousand plant species in the region.

Along the roads, along the slopes of ravines and on the tops of mounds you can find wild herbaceous plants: creeping wheatgrass, wild buttercup, yellow sweet clover, wormwood, plantain, coltsfoot, quinoa, field sow thistle, St. John's wort, immortelle. In forest belts there are oak, walnut, acacia and other tree species.

On the right bank of the Kuban, not far from the village of Ivanovskaya, lies the Red Forest massif (5200 hectares). This is the remnant of the forests that previously bordered the banks of the Kuban to its lower reaches. Narrow strips of forest remain in the middle reaches of the river. In the Red Forest grow oak, willow, maple, ash, apple, hawthorn, and rose hips; inhabited by deer, roe deer, wild boars, and hares. Depending on the altitude above sea level and the associated changes in climatic, soil and other conditions, not only the general nature of the vegetation changes dramatically, but also the appearance of the plants.

As the relief increases, the steppe turns into a forest-steppe, and the latter into a forest zone. The forest-steppe stretches in a relatively narrow strip on the left bank of the Kuban, covering the Trans-Kuban inclined plain and the low (mostly up to 600 m) part of the foothills. About 50% of the area is shrubs and partly broad-leaved forests (oak, hornbeam, maple, hazel, dogwood).

Kuban forests occupy 1.7 million hectares and are characterized by exclusively valuable species. The region contains approximately 30% of oak forests, over 80% of beech and about 90% of chestnut plantations in Russia. The main part of the forests is located in the foothills, mountainous areas and the Black Sea coast.
Vegetation in the mountains forms three zones: forest, subalpine and alpine.

The forest zone is divided into two zones: broad-leaved and coniferous forests. Up to 700 meters above sea level, predominantly oak forests grow with an admixture of hornbeam, ash, elm, as well as fruit trees (pear, apple, dogwood). Oak forests give way to a belt of beech trees. At an altitude of 1200 meters they are joined by Caucasian fir. From 1300 to 1800 meters, coniferous forests predominate, consisting of Caucasian fir and eastern spruce. Fir needles are softer and slightly wider than spruce needles.

At an altitude of 1800-2200 meters above sea level lies a belt of subalpine vegetation. There are subalpine meadows and crooked forests with shrub beech and mountain maple. Subalpine meadows are rich pastures. In the summer, cattle and flocks of sheep are kept here.

Above the subalpine meadows, starting from altitudes of 2300-2500 and up to 2800-3000 meters above sea level, stretches the belt of alpine meadows of the Northwestern Caucasus (in other parts of the Caucasus it is much higher). The nature here is harsh. Only in August are the clearings cleared of snow.

What a dramatic change! In the subalpine zone everything is large and lush, and in the alpine zone the same plants, but from 4 to 15 centimeters in height, with a creeping form. The brightness of the colors and the diversity of flowers in the rocky meadows, surrounded by rocks and snow, is striking. Red mynacles, bright blue gentians, golden-yellow buttercups and dandelions, pink-red carnations, and blue forget-me-nots grow all around.

From 3000 meters and above there are eternal snows and glaciers and inaccessible rocks, almost devoid of any vegetation.

Diverse vegetation of the Black Sea coast. From Anapa to Novorossiysk, the mountain slopes are covered with hornbeam and oak, hornbeam and hornbeam. On the spurs of the Markotkhsky ridge from Novorossiysk to Gelendzhik, twisted and low-growing elm, hornbeam, and among them dogwood and hawthorn grow. In the Gelendzhik area there are elm, maple, ash, dogwood, walnut, cherry plum, apple, pear; along the coast - Pitsunda pine.

The resort village of Dzhankhot is located 12 kilometers south of Gelendzhik. Here, on the high shore of the sea, an island of ancient flora has been preserved - a grove of Pitsunda pine. It is surrounded by hornbeam, maple and other trees.

Beyond the Mikhailovsky Pass, oak is distributed along the mountain slopes and rises to a height of 500-600 meters, then giving way to beech. Alder, viburnum, elderberry, dogwood, and pear grow in floodplains and on river banks.

On the coast from Lazarevsky to Adler, cypress trees, Pitsunda pine, magnolias, and palm trees grow. They remain green all year round.

Parks and squares are decorated with noble laurel, bamboo, yucca, and various palm trees. There is no month of the year when some plants do not bloom. Apricots, peaches and other fruits ripen in the gardens.

The forests of the Black Sea coast preserve supplies of drinking and mineral water, protect soils from water and wind erosion, landslides, rockfalls and landslides, and soften the climate. They ensure a constant water level in rivers, protect them from silting and shallowing, and thereby create conditions for the reproduction of fish resources. From mountain slopes not protected by forests, rains carry away 100 cubic meters of soil per hectare per year. In such places, ravines quickly form.

The forest has a certain influence on the climate and rivers that feed the fertile plains of the Kuban with their waters, protects reservoirs from drying out, fields from drought, and cleans the air from harmful carbon dioxide, dust and other small particles. The vegetation cover of the Earth is called the “lungs of the planet.” One hectare of forest purifies 18 million cubic meters of smoky and carbon dioxide-saturated air per year.

The forest is a healing factor and an excellent object for hiking, excursions, and walks. Forest air is clean, it contains a lot of ozone and phytoncides - substances that suppress the development of pathogenic microbes.

Wood is also a building material. The woodworking industry is developed in Kuban. There are furniture factories and associations in Krasnodar, Armavir, Kropotkin, Apsheronsk, Novorossiysk. They make wardrobes and bookcases, chairs, tables, sofas...

It is very diverse, you won’t find any kind of fauna here... This abundance can be explained by the mild climate and rich flora.

The distribution of animals in the area mainly depends on natural conditions. Lakes, rivers and seas, forests and steppes are inhabited by a variety of animals. Here you can find both formidable predators and harmless small rodents.

One of the most dangerous animals in the region is the brown bear. Its weight can reach 300 kg, and its body length is 2 m. In addition to this predatory animal, lynxes, reaching a length of 110 cm, safely live in the forests of the Kuban. These beauties are found in the Abinsky, Mostovsky, Seversky and Goryacheklyuchevsky districts.

Among the small predators, the weasel is very common. The most valuable animals, famous for their wonderful fur, are raccoons. And the rarest animal found in Kuban is the leopard. This truly graceful animal has almost disappeared from these places. But in wild areas remote from civilization, leopards still live.

And the sika deer is rightfully considered the most useful representative of the fauna.

Nature, plants and animals of the Krasnodar region

Why is it useful? Yes, because medical medicines are obtained from its horns, which save people from many diseases.

Besides these animals, fauna of the Krasnodar region rich in wolves, hares, roe deer, wild boars, and Caucasian moles.

In the Kuban, in the northeastern part, steppe inhabitants are more common: foxes, jerboas, mouse-like rodents, common voles, and ground squirrels. The common mink lives in river valleys. If we talk about birds, then these are larks, gray partridges, quails, harriers. This steppe zone is well developed by humans, which is why the fauna has decreased significantly. But still, some animals adapted to the new conditions. Tourists can find only a few primeval areas of the steppes, where wildlife is in complete abundance.

Many waterfowl live in the floodplains and estuaries of the lowlands: pelicans, gulls, ducks, geese. And the muskrat was brought from North America to the estuaries.

As for the mountainous areas and foothills, roe deer, chamois, mountain goats, badgers, forest cats, as well as two species of martens live here. Forest (yellow) and stone (white) Jackals and raccoon dogs have taken root well.

If we talk about invertebrates, vipers, snakes, grass snakes, and newts can be found near rock slides and roadsides.

Representatives of reptiles include the marsh and Greek turtles, legless lizards, and small yellowbellies.

All the animal splendor is, of course, complemented by birds. During the day, the singing and chirping of birds can be heard in the forests and valleys. Magpies, orioles, blackbirds, and cuckoos take part in this musical concert. Jays sing along with them, wagtails scurry around the streams. But this is not all the inhabitants of the forest; we must not forget about owls, starlings, goldfinches, Caucasian grouse and mountain turkeys.

Finally, we can add that fauna of the Krasnodar region worthy of the attention of tourists, as well as careful treatment.

Flexible body 20-25 cm long, long strong limbs, fluffy long tail, large, erect ears with tassels at the tips. They feed on tree seeds, fruits, berries, nuts, mushrooms and many others. Squirrel (veksha)

Brown hareClass: MammalsOrder: Lagomorpha Family: LagoraceaeDistribution: In the Black Sea region it is more common in the lower mountains, but they were also seen at an altitude of 2600 m above sea level (Chugush), and in the North Ossetian Nature Reserve they were noted to live up to an altitude of 3000 m n.a.s. Description: Yellow-fawn color with large ripples, does not turn white in winter, body length about 60 cm, weight up to 5 kg. Nocturnal animal. The whole body is adapted for running, the front pair of legs serves as a support for the hind legs. In summer it feeds on various herbs, and in winter on the bark of deciduous trees and seedlings of winter crops.

During the classes

Look around -
The beauty will enchant you:
There is no land more beautiful than ours!
The bread is golden,
The forests are turning green,
The distance of the sea is painted with blue...

Slide 1 Maps of various regions are shown.

– Children, which of the maps is a map of the Krasnodar region?

- Why do you think so?

Slide 2 Only the outline of the territory of the Krasnodar Territory is shown.

- Oh! What's happened?

– Isn’t there flora and fauna of our region on the map?

But our region is so beautiful and rich in flora and fauna!

We must return plants and animals to our forests, steppes, and mountains.

– Are you ready to travel?

Let's split into 2 groups.

(The class is divided into 2 groups according to the number of students)

One group will help in searching for plants, and the other will help in searching for animals in our region. Only together can we save our region and bring back the flora and fauna!

- Guys, what is the name of the science that studies plants?

BOTANY

– What is the name of the science that studies the animal world?

ZOOLOGY

– Who guessed what the 1st group will be called?

Children: 1 group will be called “ BOTS

And to each other to the ground
They bowed at the waist.
Below, children, don’t be lazy,
Bow, smile.

- Close your eyes. Listen.

– It’s too quiet around.

- Why?

Varya: It's time for you, Chizh, to sing.

Chizh: Let me go free, in freedom I will sing all day long! And you come listen to my singing.

(Vari’s children suggest options for further actions themselves)

– The unreasonable, predatory extermination of animals, birds, insects, plants led to the fact that many began to disappear from the face of the earth. To preserve endangered species, the Kuban Red Book was created in 1994. It consists of 2 parts:

Part 1 – plants: 157 species
Part 2 – animals: 102 species.

Slides 6-8. Animals and plants listed in the Red Book of Kuban.

Come to your senses, come to your senses, man!
We are indebted to nature.
And may your age be glorious
Fragrant grass in the meadow!
And the trill of birds with a cheerful ringing sound
And the noisy splash of the spring.
And clusters of thin rowan.
And the blue eye of a cornflower,
And the fresh aroma of herbs,
And groves of noise and oak forests.

Each group is invited to draw a sign on the topic: “Nature conservation” and draw up environmental rules. 7 minutes are given.

Erudites evaluate the originality and correctness of the work performed.

People realized that nature was in danger, so places appeared where it was forbidden to burn fires, pick mushrooms and berries, hunt and fish.

– What are such places created by man called?

Children: Nature reserves.

– Are there any nature reserves in the Krasnodar Territory?
