Animal and Plant Kingdoms are indispensable components of agriculture and forestry, fishery, tourism, health care etc. About 27 100 species of living organisms are registered in the territory of our country, including 4450 plant species, 16 thousand of animals, 2 thousand of protists (single-celled) and 4800 fungi.
