How more destruction do you think wildlife can withstand?
Tags: Caution, World Wildlife Day, Wildlife, Awareness, Flora And Fauna

Sustaining all life on earth

It was the theme of World Wildlife Day, 2020.

The term wildlife is widely used to refer to all forms of life-like plants, mammals, fishes etc which can be found in the wild, away from human encroachment. The animals and plants that live in the wild have an intrinsic value and contribute to the ecological, genetic, social, economic, scientific, educational, cultural, recreational and aesthetic aspects of human well-being and to sustainable development.

World Wildlife Day is an opportunity to celebrate the many beautiful and varied forms of wild fauna and flora and to raise awareness of the multitude of benefits that their conservation provides to people. At the same time, the Day reminds us of the urgent need to step up the fight against wildlife crime and human-induced reduction of species, which have wide-ranging economic, environmental and social impacts.

Earth is home to countless species of fauna and flora — too many to even attempt counting. Historically, we have depended on the constant interplay and interlinkages between all elements of the biosphere for all our needs: the air we breathe, the food we eat, the energy we use, and the materials we need for all purposes. However, unsustainable human activities and overexploitation of the species and natural resources are imperilling the world’s biodiversity. Nearly a quarter of all species are presently at risk of going extinct in the coming decades.

The year 2020, known as “biodiversity super year,” will host several major global events that place biodiversity at the forefront. It provides a unique opportunity to deliver transformative progress for the conservation and sustainable use of the species of wild animals and plants.

Have you ever felt like the damage done to wildlife is increasing day by day?

In recent years, majors incident has occurred which has shaken wildlife from its core. The Australian fire is such an incident. The increasing temperature caused this bush-fire to burn through 25.5 million acres of land. The trees along with an estimated 1 million animals have perished. Almost 25000 koalas have been feared to death.

But What does climate change have to do with it?

Firestorms are not new to Australia. It’s typically hot and dry, similar to conditions in California or the Mediterranean. Eucalyptus forests in Australia have a unique relationship to fire; the trees actually depend on fire to release their seeds.

This season’s fires, however, are unprecedented. It’s a much earlier fire season, and the fires have gotten very big, very early, Kolden tells The Verge. Weather conditions feeding the fires are historic. Australia suffered from its hottest day on record on December 18th, reaching a national average temperature of 41.9 degrees Celsius (107.4 degrees Fahrenheit). Last month was Australia’s hottest December, and 2019 was the country’s hottest and driest year on record. Extreme heat and drought create more tinder to fuel fires. The heightened intensity and frequency of wildfires fall in line with scientists’ predictions for a warming world.

Apparently, climate change is not the only thing that can cause a fire.

The great fire in Amazon is another notable incident that has done an absurd amount of harm to the wilderness. Environmental organizations and researchers say the wildfires blazed in the Brazilian rainforest were set by cattle ranchers and loggers who wanted to clear and utilize the land, emboldened by the country’s pro-business president. Everyone on the planet benefits from the health of the Amazon. As its trees take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, the Amazon plays a huge role in pulling planet-warming greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere. Without it, climate change speeds up. But as the world’s largest rainforest is eaten away by logging, mining, and agribusiness, it may not be able to provide the same buffer.

There’s more.

Did you think climate change hampers with wildlife only by raising temperature?

2 years ago, 20,000 Antelope died in 3 weeks mysteriously. Why? Scientists had to work very hard to find the reason. After a long time, they found out that a special type of Nose Bacteria caused this phenomenon. But what triggered this bacterial attack? Researchers said that increased humidity could be a cause. Also, the increase in dust storms is a reason too.

Scientists were startled in 1980 by the discovery of a tremendous diversity of insects in tropical forests. In one study of just 19 trees in Panama, 80% of the 1,200 beetle species discovered were previously unknown to science… Surprisingly, scientists have a better understanding of how many stars there are in the galaxy than how many species there are on Earth

World Resources Institute (WRI).

So, if we don’t know how much there is, to begin with, we don’t know exactly how much we’re losing.

According to Panda.org

The rapid loss of species we are seeing today is estimated by experts to be between 1,000 and 10,000 times higher than the natural extinction rate.*

These experts calculate that between 0.01 and 0.1% of all species will become extinct each year.

If the low estimate of the number of species out there is true — i.e. that there are around 2 million different species on our planet** — then that means between 200 and 2,000 extinctions occur every year.

But if the upper estimate of species numbers is true — that there are 100 million different species co-existing with us on our planet — then between 10,000 and 100,000 species are becoming extinct each year.

Climate change is not the end of the causes of the destruction, is it?

WILD ANIMALS ARE being poached on a massive scale, with millions of individual animals of thousands of species worldwide killed or captured from their native habitats. Poaching poses a growing threat to elephants, rhinos, and other charismatic animals, as well as to smaller and more obscure creatures, like certain lizards and monkeys. Some animals, such as birds, reptiles, and primates, are captured live so that they can be kept or sold as exotic pets. Slaughtered animals, on the other hand, have commercial value as food, jewellery, decor, or traditional medicine. The ivory tusks of African elephants, for example, are carved into trinkets or display pieces. The scales of pangolins, small animals that eat ants, are ground into a powder and consumed for their purported healing powers. The meat of apes, snakes, and other bush animals are considered a delicacy in parts of Africa.

In 2012, 668 rhinos were poached in South Africa. As of January 2013, it increased to 946, these animals were being poached at a rate of 2 per day. Send them a note to thank them for their work. At the beginning of the 20th century, there were a few million African elephants and approximately 100,000 Asian elephants. Today elephants are now considered endangered, there are about 450,000–700,000 African elephants and 35,000–40,000 Asian elephants.

To shorten things up:

Habitat loss is extensive in the region, over 75% of the original Himalayan habitat has been destroyed or degraded. Fuelwood and fodder collection has damaged forests and grasslands. Extensive livestock grazing has displaced and outcompeted wild species, and rapid development is removing species habitat and fragmenting populations.

Poaching, and unsustainable hunting for the commercial wildlife trade, are endangering the flagship species of the Eastern Himalayas. The demand for tiger and rhino parts, for example — highly prized in East Asian medicine — places these species under extreme threat.

Wildlife killing also takes place as a result of conflict with humans. Retaliation against tigers and snow leopards for killing livestock, and against elephants and rhinos for eating crops, is common and continues to intensify as humans and wildlife compete for land and other resources.

Climate change further exacerbates the impacts from all of these threats, by altering the natural environmental flow of resources in the region; inflicting extra pressure on ecosystems, livelihoods and biodiversity.

There’s still hope. If we doe ourselves with the theme World Wildlife Day, 2020 and come forth to protect the wilderness, something good might happen.
