In comparison with 1990, the threat factor to all major animal species groups has increased, putting several species close to extinction in the country. Unfortunately, data are very fragmentary, e.g. for plant groups, only data on trends for lichens are currently available. Interestingly, the total number of species for lichens as well as for mammals seems to increase between 2005 and 2010, whereas for all other species groups (amphibians, reptiles, fish, invertebrates, birds, vascular plants and mushrooms) they remain constant.
