Species Groups
Group Description
In the UK there are over 70,000 species of organism. I estimate that somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 exist in the Bristol Region. Here are the ones I have so far discovered.
According to NBN (National Biodiversity Network) there are:
- 42,929 species of Animal (Animalia)
- 405 species of Bacteria
- 3,727 species of Chromista
- 18,587 species of Mushroom (Fungi)
- 9,676 species of Plant (Plantae)
- 676 species of Protozoa
All together that adds up to 76,000. This number is however incorrect because NBN store information of wildlife from around the world along with Britain's.
