Abstract—In research work are comparative analyzed rare and endangered trees and shrubs existed in Azerbaijan Republic natural flora, there are analyzed the factors that lead to the disappearance of the species, to the lead of species reduction and disappearance of total families, the risk categories have been identified and defined the solution ways of the problems. There are identified 6,000 species in comparative analysis of Azerbaijan flora. From them more than 1,600 species are trees and shrubs species. It is approximately 37.5% of the trees and bushes of total Azerbaijan flora.
