The tasks of this work include the grid square mapping of the plants that are under danger of extinc-tion; geographical analysis of biodiversity distribution; development of effective ecological conservation strategies for specific regions. The study carried out in two regions of Russia: Kaliningrad oblast’ as an ex-ample of urbanized European north-west and Crimean peninsula. The species of higher plants listed in the Red Books have been considered as the basic units of biodiversity.
