Basic topic
Eastern sub-Mediterranean dry grasslands – flora and fauna and the reasons of endangerment.
These habitats are becoming more and more endangered due to the disappearance of human activity (specifically, the cessation of cultivation and mowing), so they are gradually becoming overgrown and turning into forest habitats. Some of the species which have become endangered due to their disappearance are the ortolan bunting and single-flowered saw-wort.
