Hello everyone, I am sharing with you the "life has books and meditation techniques", today I take you to know the four endangered animals.
gorilla
There are currently six species of orangutans in the world, and due to habitat loss and other threats to hunting practices, two of these subspecies of gorillas have reached extreme danger and are listed on the Red List of endangered species, namely the Cross River Gorilla and the Mountain Gorilla.
Because their numbers have decreased by at least nearly 80% in three generations, and so far, there are only a few hundred in the world, and relevant conservation organizations around the world are working hard to establish protected areas to protect the safety of these animals, but we need to understand that people's awareness of protecting them is also very important.
Sumatran elephant
Sumatran elephant is a subspecies of Asian elephant, mainly distributed in Sumatra Island, in recent years due to human deforestation, the habitat of elephants has been seriously damaged, the number of affected Sumatran elephants has shown a downward trend year by year.
Coupled with the fact that the ivory products of Sumatran elephants are very expensive, people will not hesitate to hunt down and kill this slowly disappearing species in pursuit of profit, so that they have changed from endangered to critically endangered, according to statistics, there are only 2400 to 2800 Sumatran elephants in the world, although they have been protected by law, their identity is still under threat.
tiger
When it comes to big cats, tigers are one of the most popular representatives, seen in many movies, but in real life, they are one of the most endangered species, there are nine subspecies of tigers, three of which are extinct, while the remaining six species are very unoptimistic, all on the verge of extinction.
But the most worrying thing is that the South China tiger and sumatran tiger, due to human invasion and devastating exploitation of natural resources, Sumatran tiger habitat is also decreasing, of which only about 400 to 500 sumatran tigers in the wild remain, the survival of the state is extremely dangerous.
pangolin
Many people think of pangolins as reptiles, but in fact pangolins are the only known mammalian viviparous animals with scales, and they can eat nearly 70 million insects a year, but this creature is always at risk and has become extremely endangered.
They have come to this point, mainly because of the illegal arrest of humans, in the past decade, more than 1 million pangolins have been killed, their flesh has been treated as wild delicacies, scales are used by traditional medicine to treat various diseases such as rheumatism and arthritis, and for the protection of pangolins, hunting has been explicitly prohibited and incorporated into law.
