Abstract

One of the global problems related to the protection of nature is the preservation of the genetic pool of wild flora and fauna. In Bulgaria, until 2007, more than 30,000 species of animals belonging to a large number of taxonomic groups were known, but their real number in the country is most likely over 60,000. The provided data show that our country compared to the larger some European countries have a rich register of animals in a correspondingly small territory. After the experts' assessment, it was shown that the Red Book of the Republic of Bulgaria includes a total of 287 species and subspecies of animals, which are assigned to 4 categories: extinct - 30, critically endangered - 87, endangered - 70 and vulnerable - 100. Taking into account these facts, our goal was to carry out a retrospective analysis of the intoxications of wild birds and mammals registered in some regions of the country, in order to determine the cause of their occurrence and, on the other hand, to add new data to the ecological situation in the country.
