respiratory systems and eyes, but also in their potentially harmful effects on equipment such as filters, vehicles

conditioning, has made deserts much more hospitable. In the United States and Israel for example, desert farming
has found extensive use.

centuries, hundreds of species have disappeared, almost always as a result of human activities. The passenger

conservationists.
Today, species require such efforts more urgently than ever. An essential task that falls to present-day

applied where action is needed most. Species are categorized by the degree to which their survival in the wild is
