Question: Why shall we protect wildlife?

    Why shall we protect wildlife? Because protect wildlife is protection our human beings, it is for the interests and development of mankind. Regardless of human beings, animals, and plants, all living things live in an organic unity of the ecosystem. An ecosystem is like our nest, our green home, our Noah’s Ark. Without the protection of wildlife, this ecosystem unity would also not be protected, and our human home would be threatened. For example, when human invented pesticide, which seemed to be an achievement of protecting human being. However, from the view point of ecosystem, it started an era of environment pollution, which not only is harming animals, plants, and the ecosystems, it also destroyed the home of human beings. So actually, it is harming our human beings.

    However, due to the deterioration of the environment, over-hunting and poaching by human beings, the existence of various wildlife is facing all kinds of threats. In the past 100 years, species extinctions caused by human beings have exceeded 100 times over the natural extinction rate. Currently there are over 100 species disappearing from the face of the Earth everyday. In our country, there are over 10 mammal species now extinct, and there are over 20 species of rare animals are facing extinction, and their extinction will lead to the disappearing of many useful natural resources, will also cause the disappearance of many genes that would benefit the farm products to overcome inclement climate, and could even bring new global pandemic, therefore, the loss caused by the extinction of wildlife is something we can never save.
