The Importance Of Protecting Wildlife

There are many different organizations that work to encourage the conservation of animals in danger of extinction. Some are voluntary organizations like the World Wildlife Fund and the IUCN and others are government initiatives enacted by laws like America's Endangered Species Act.

The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) help conserve endangered animals by raising awareness which stimulates action and funding. They do this by picking an animal to act as ambassador for a particular habitat. The aim is that by achieving conservation of the ambassador species, the status of all other animals which share the habitat will be increased.

China is one of the countries that have the most abundant wildlife species. However, with the continuous development of human, the habitat of wildlife is threatened, many species of wild animals have been extinction or endangered. Many governments have a special law to protect wildlife.

Many people do not understand the importance of protecting the endangered wildlife. Even a lot of people are still hunting wild animals for their own interests. It speeds up the extinction of the wildlife. So we must try our best to protect the wild animals. It is necessary and urgent to protect the wildlife. The significances of protecting wildlife are the followings.

Firstly, the wildlife protection law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that rare and endangered terrestrial and aquatic wildlife and beneficial or have important economic, scientific value of wildlife are protected by state laws, so indiscriminately eat wildlife is an illegal action.

Secondly, to protect the wildlife is to protect humanity itself. Due to the environmental degradation and human's hunting, all kinds of wildlife are facing various threats. Nearly 100 years, the rate of species extinction has exceeded 100 times than the rate of natural extinction. Now there are more than 100 kinds of creatures disappearing from the earth. China also has more than 10 kinds of mammals being extinction, and also more than 20 kinds of rare animals facing extinction. While their extinction will lead to many new drugs that can be used to make molecular attributed to disappear, but also caused many gene that can be helpful for the crops to overcome the bad weather attributed to disappear, and even lead to a new plague. All the results are what we will never imagine. So we should take immediate actions to protect the wildlife, then our environment will be better.

Thirdly, it is easy to infectious diseases to eat wild animals. Nowadays, more and more people prefer to eat wild animals. There are a lot of viruses in the wild animals, they can not be killed or clear even in the low temperature of minus 15 ℃ or high temperature of maximum 100 ℃. It is quite easy to infect diseases if there is a slight mistake.

In short, humanity are of nature, not outside of the natural, and even not above the natural. So we should abandon the people-based perspective when we discuss the protection of animals, plants, ecological protection.

Now, nearly half of the wild animals are in the brink of extinction. To protect the wildlife is very urgently.
