Despite the diversity of their morphological and ecological forms as well as their capability of colonising extreme habitants, they remain generally little- known. Unnoticed, they live next to us and usually, also unnoticed, they disappear or die out as a result of the changes, which directly or indirectly are caused by anthropopression. This problem has already been noticed and discussed by liche- nologists for years. Postulates on the need to protect this group of organisms have also appeared. However, very rarely have they found any understanding among the persons and institutions directly responsible for the management of natural resources. In order to educate about the scale of the danger to these organisms, national and local Red Lists of endangered lichens have been created. The data included in them have been, to a great extent, the basis for the setting forth of the subsequent protective postulates. So far only in several countries have lichens been granted the status of legally protected organisms - on the basis of provisions in legal statutes. Poland has significant achievements within this sphere. The number and extent of the legally protected species lists have been defined, approved and released to the public from many years. The formation of facilities, wherein the main objects of legal protection are lichens and the main task is the preservation of the popula- tions of endangered species and species under extinction, is unprecedented. This follows the understanding of the biocenotic role of these organisms, the aware- ness of the fact that there are no unnecessary and redundant organisms growing in nature. Proper functioning of the ecosystems depends on the presence of all, directly or indirectly connected, elements. Such elements also include lichens. On the other hand, on the basis of the peculiar “feedback”, in the well preserved and little distorted ecosystems there are proper conditions for the existence of various populations forming permanent communities. This is the main reason why the best preserved and the most abundant populations of the endangered lichens grow in the natural wilderness forests. Certainly, the presence of these lichens, similar- ly as of other organisms, is concurrently the guarantee of sustainability of these forests. The same phenomenon may be described in relation to the epilithic lichens, growing on natural rocks. A great number of lichenologists conduct research in the national and landscape parks as well as nature reserves. The lichens constitute the natural component only of the superficial legally protected places. This direction of research enables familiarisation in detail with the dynamics and conditions of vegetation of the most complex lichens in the damaged environments to a lesser extent than any- where else. Many papers included in this book are devoted to this issue. Proper interpretation of the results of these studies constitutes the basis for covering with protection not only the subsequent parts of forests or peat lands, but also, for instance, buffer and road strips in the strongly economically transformed areas 7 where lichens are also present. This will be the protection of places - the peculiar refugium - from which the most sensitive and endangered lichens “will be able to return” to the forest ecosystems when the hazards to their vegetation currently present there have been eliminated. Such phenomena of “returns” of the lichens are already a fact and they also constitute the subject of several papers included in this book. Some of the authors - mainly in understanding with the representatives of the forest administration – provide information on their activities
