Nearly 40,000 species worldwide are at risk of extinction, what are the factors involved?

The beauty of the earth lies in its biodiversity, which also enriches the earth's gene pool and makes the earth more vibrant. However, with the development of economy and society, many species are at risk of extinction due to the development of human industry, and according to the survey of the World Animal Protection Organization, nearly 40,000 species in the world are facing extinction. Today we will take a look at why these species are endangered and what are the causes.

Habitat is decisive for a species, and as long as the habitat does not undergo drastic changes, many species can survive normally. However, due to the development of industry, the habitats of many animals and plants have undergone fundamental changes, whether it is from the food that animals depend on for their livelihood, or the soil and air that plants depend on for their livelihood, each factor is different from before, and this difference is the most fundamental and biggest factor that leads to the extinction of species. Therefore, protecting the environment is also protecting species diversity.

Fur, as it is known, is sometimes obtained by hunting rare animals, which is one of the reasons why many animals are on the verge of extinction. In many markets, the sale of fur can bring high profits to sellers, and these high profits have given rise to markets for hunting and killing wild animals. Driven by profits, every wild animal that can be made into fur is at risk of being killed.

This market demand has driven the development of the luxury industry, but it has also brought about the destruction of precious animals.

Protecting endangered animals is as simple as not damaging the environment or buying or selling. Every animal has its raison d'être, and if animal diversity is destroyed, there will be fundamental problems with the functioning of the planet. This also reminds us that to protect the diversity of species is to protect the safety of human beings, to protect the environment, and to protect the future of our human race.

With man-made causes, man-made destruction of biological habitats, etc., natural causes, which refer to the extinction of species caused by natural disasters, etc., are mainly these two reasons, but generally several reasons act together at the same time, accelerating the extinction of species, and so on.

Man-made destruction of the environment. Animals tend to adapt to only one specific environment, and if the environment changes, such as deforestation, the animals that originally lived there will be in great danger. Contaminate.

Pollution is the most serious problem faced by wild animals, which destroys the environment on which water, air and other organisms depend, causes global climate change, and changes the original living environment of animals. Humans are the only species in the world that hunts other animals in large quantities for more than just food. They kill other animals in large numbers out of all kinds of greedy desires, even just for the sake of play.

Many animals were captured and raised as pets because of their cute appearance and docile temperament, and their wild counterparts gradually became extinct. The reckless introduction of new species from the outside world without sufficient consideration can sometimes greatly threaten native species, leading to the extinction of some species.

According to the news, more than 10,000 species in the world are at risk of extinction, and for some endangered species, China has mainly adopted the following protection measures:

Establishment of protected areas in forests. The protection of endangered animals is not to keep them in captivity, but to establish a nature reserve in the area where they live, and in this protected area, it is necessary to deny entry to unrelated people to avoid threatening these endangered animals. It is also important to understand the habits of endangered animals and their diets.

For example, the current antelope, the golden snub-nosed monkey.

Or bison. etc have been well protected.

In the case of conditions,Artificial breeding of endangered animals can be used。Some endangered animals can only survive in the wild, and once the bacteria are raised, it will affect their living habits and accelerate the rate of extinction. However, there are some species that can be bred in captivity for artificial breeding, for example, China's giant panda breeding base is the care of giant pandas and artificial intervention in breeding, so that giant pandas get rid of the list of endangered animals.

Related species can be introduced from other regions. For example, antelope and bison are social animals, and if they are only a single species, they are basically in danger of extinction, so they can be introduced from other regions to keep them living in a group and establish a new survival tribe. Many of our conservation measures use this method, and there are many successful cases, the most typical of which is the pangolin.

Scientific research and monitoring of endangered animals. Extinct animals often have patterns, and researchers need to find patterns and stop them through research to understand how these species change. Finally, the risk of extinction of the species is eliminated through human intervention.

In general, no matter which species has the right to live on earth, human beings should not interfere too much with the survival of species, but if there is a species at risk of extinction, it can lend a helping hand if necessary.

Biodiversity is evolved over thousands of years, is the material basis for human survival, is the wealth of human reproduction, it provides a lot of industrial and agricultural raw materials, and the protection of biodiversity is to protect the survival and development of human beings. <>

As we all know, with the acceleration of urbanization, sewage discharge, indiscriminate logging, and the needs of economic development, biodiversity has been seriously damaged, especially in the early stage, various natural disasters occur frequently, making the problem of biodiversity increasingly serious. In this severe form, first of all, China attaches great importance to the conservation of biodiversity, the conservation of biodiversity as an important part of the construction of ecological civilization, and has also achieved certain results, China has also joined the Convention on the International Convention on Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, China firmly fulfills its obligations under the Convention, and actively promotes the implementation of the Convention, 90% of China's vegetation types and terrestrial ecosystems, 65% of higher plant communities, and 85% of key protected wild animal populations have been effectively protected. Make a greater contribution to the conservation of endangered animals.

Then we have established habitats for endangered animals in major regions, in order to better protect endangered animals, the country has also carried out a large number of afforestation, which can greatly increase the coverage of the earth, only by protecting the earth's vegetation, it is more likely to prevent the deterioration of the earth's environment, the problem of global warming, can make more endangered animals have a home. China has established botanical gardens, wildlife rescue and breeding bases, and germplasm resources to allow more animals to have a place to live. At present, tens of thousands of endangered animal species have been saved in our country.

In the face of unprecedented challenges in global natural environment governance, only the international community can jointly promote the construction of a beautiful world where humans, nature, and animals coexist in harmony with each other. <>

For example, returning farmland to forests to ensure the living space of animals, such as formulating strict laws and regulations on the killing of wild animals, and for example, the state has also stepped up publicity efforts to make everyone aware of animal protection.

Personally, I think there are some things we can do for them.

First, we should pay attention to and understand these wild animals。To help endangered wildlife, you need to know at least which animals are endangered and why. Many people may not know that the sika deer is a national first-class protected animal in China.

We saw a large number of sika deer raised in the deer farm to be used for cutting, peeling, and eating meat, and thought that this animal was commonplace, but we did not know that the sika deer naturally distributed in the wild were already critically endangered, less than 1,000 heads. Many people are willing to use bear bile to "brighten their eyes" and poach bear paws to "tonic", but they do not know that Asiatic black bears are China's national second-class protected animals. Some people killed the yellow-throated marten (a national second-class protected animal) that stole chickens, thinking that it was a weasel that was killed, and the weasel is also a protected animal of China's "three haves".

Someone set a trap to trap the serow (national second-class), and sold the serow meat in the name of "four dislikes", but they were imprisoned for ......Ignorance contributes to our harm to wild animals.

Second, we should keep our mouths shut。People don't eat a bite of "wild meat", but it is really related to the survival of wild animals. Pangolins, yellow-breasted buntings, roe deer, ring-necked pheasants, swans, tigers, leopards, jackals, ......If you have an excessive curiosity and greed, some unscrupulous people will do what they like.

They poison waterfowl, poach pangolins, and kill wild animals unrestrainedly and profit-driven. Maybe the diners who sat at the table and moved the chopsticks didn't kill themselves, but it is undeniable that there was no killing without buying and selling. If we want to protect endangered wildlife, we should start with ourselves and those around us.

Third, supervise the behavior of people around you, and actively report violations when you see them。In some communities, you can see wide sticky nets pulled up, and dozens or even hundreds of small birds can be entangled in the net every day, being bought and sold. This is a typical violation of the law.

In the face of this phenomenon, we don't need to directly conflict with the criminals, we only need to call the public security department to report the location and number of animals, and we can help many wild birds with a single call. In addition, if you pick up injured animals in your life, especially some animals that we can't even name, don't raise them without permission, and try to hide them as pets. If you really want to rescue them, it's best to contact the professionals at the Wildlife Rescue Center.

We must protect animals, protect the environment, and take care of animals when we encounter them, and you can also mobilize the people around you to protect the environment and protect animals.

What we can do is to stop hunting rare animals, stop destroying nature, and leave a home for animals.

Although we can't do anything big, we can start small, first of all, we must protect the earth's environment, don't throw garbage, save electricity, save water, respect these animals, respect every life, don't overkill, don't eat some animal meat for the sake of trying new things.

To love every life around them, to look at them with a kind eye, will try to maintain the environment in which they live, and do not do anything destructive.

As human beings, we can only protect their living environment as much as possible, protect the environment, reduce pollution, and create a place for endangered animals to survive.

Don't kill animals at will, and we will plant trees, don't litter and waste resources.

What we can do is not harm these endangered species and give them a good environment to live in.

Recently, according to the latest Global Biology Report, a total of 10,000 species are currently in danger of extinction and are still facing greater challenges, and at the same time, there are more lives in the world facing more problems. And today is April 22, 2022, and relevant events have been reported at home and abroad, because today is also the Earth Environmental Protection Day, Guangming Network.

News reports were also published, so why is this happening?

According to the data, sea level has been in place since 2013.

Since the beginning of the rise, there has been a relatively significant change in sea level in many places, as the sea level risesThe habitat of some biological populations between sea level and continents has been severely reduced, the decrease in the living territory leads to an increase in the density of species, which causes harm to the development of the species as a whole. But even more critical, changes in temperature cause a wide range of species variationFor example, the birth of the young of various organisms is changed according to the temperature, and too high a temperature will cause the young to be born prematurely, which will cause the young of the animal to face a more dangerous situation, and some Arctic creatures are even more becauseLarge-scale glacier melt has led to a reduction in habitat, which is a major contributor to the extinction of Arctic species.

Human pollution to the environment has been the focus of everyone's attention in recent years, since human beings entered the industrial age, large-scale combustion of energy, causing a large amount of environmental pollution, there will be a large number of metal elements in the middle.

Discharged into our living environment, there is also a large amount of living waste, especially plastic, which will make the organisms of nature unable to degrade at allAs long as they eat plastic, it will stay in their body for a lifetime。And various metal elements will increase the burden on the kidneys of animalsIt can also cause them to be poisoned, so many animals and plants with weak survival ability will become extinct.

Due to the extreme living environment, as well as the widespread biological invasion across the globe.

Many species thrive on a large scale because they have no natural predators, which is a big blow to othersBecause these dominant species will put their ownFood chainAll food at the bottom is wiped out, which is also a devastating blow to the survival of the species.

I hope that everyone will take care of the earth and protect the environment.

Otherwise, more and more species will disappear from our eyes.
