QARABAĞ ƏRAZİSİNİN ORNİTOFAUNASI NÖVLƏRİNİN QORUNMA STATUSU VƏ KONVENSİYALARA MÜNASİBƏTİ.

The diversity of the natural and geographical conditions of Karabakh has created conditions for the settlement, breeding and wintering of bird species belonging to various ecological groups in this region. 288 (72%) of 407 species belonging to the modern bird fauna of Azerbaijan were recorded in the territory of Karabakh. Among them, there are sedentary, migratory birds that come to winter or breed, as well as bird species that come by chance after losing their migration path. Although the study of the ornithofauna of Karabakh was carried out mainly in the pre-occupation period, the ecological status of the species was evaluated based on the available materials. Among these species, there are various bird species with local, regional and international conservation statuses. In the article, for the first time, based on available literature materials, the attitude of Karabakh's ornithofauna to International Agreements and Conventions was investigated. It was determined that 28 of the species belonging to Karabakh's bird fauna have global protection status, 55 species are included in the "Red Book" of Azerbaijan Republic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
