Endemic Maltese wildlife : ウィキペディア英語版 | Endemic Maltese wildlife An endemic organism is said to be found only in certain areas of the world. This makes the organism in some cases endangered. The Maltese Islands, although small in area (316 km²), host a large number of endemic species, some of which are unique and unusual. These endemic species are important to the Maltese Islands because they form part of Maltese national heritage and are topics of scientific research.〔 ==Introduction== Of the 10,000 estimated terrestrial and freshwater specimens in the Maltese archipelago,〔Wildlife of the Maltese Islands, BirdLife Malte and Nature Trust, 1995.〕 78 species are endemic, a very good number considering the country's area. Only 4,500 species have so far been recorded, and others still await correct taxonomic classification,〔 which means that there may be several more endemic species yet to be discovered. Twenty-three of the endemic species are vascular plants and plants such as bryophytes, while the remaining 55 species are animals.〔
