Threatened Classes of Important wildlife such as Panthera pardus (EN c2a
IUCN Threatened Class ), Phasianus colchicus (Vu A2cde IUCN Threatened Class) and Tetrao mlokosiewiczi (Vu A2 cde IUCN Threatened Class)

To give a clear picture of outstanding ecological value of Iran, I did a comparison with some other well knowing hot spot of world namely:
– Mediterranean Basin
– Morocco
– Turkey
With respects to total species Iran takes the second place or in the better word comparing three countries with Mediterranean Basin hot spot Iran takes first place Turkey comes the second and Morocco the third. There was not (or I had not access) available data regarding insects of Turkey and Morocco I did eliminate insects from my comparison group list. By the way data of Morocco was international data (more approved) and most of data of Iran and Turkey are national data.

Will be continued
