Yo!
Here's your answer!
Midway through the new special issue of Science about the global loss of wildlife, my heart caught on this idea: We now live with a steady, imperceptible loss “in people’s expectations of what the natural world around them should look like,” and “each generation grows up within a slightly more impoverished natural biodiversity.” It’s not just about elephants, rhinos, and other iconic species disappearing. It’s about the decline of everything.
When children go outdoors today (to the extent that they go outdoors at all) they see 35 percent fewer individual butterflies and moths than their parents would have seen 40 years ago, and 28 percent fewer individual vertebrates—birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and fish. It’s not quite a silent spring, just one that is becoming quieter with each passing year, insidiously, so we hardly notice. The Science authors dub this phenomenon “defaunation.” I prefer to think of it as “the great vanishing,” but either way it’s bad news.
Why don’t we do something about it? Wildlife conservation suffers under the misguided notion that it is a boutique issue. “Animals do matter to people,” says one article in the Science special issue, “but on balance, they matter less than food, jobs, energy, money, and development. As long as we continue to view animals in ecosystems as irrelevant to these basic demands, animals will lose.”
That need not be as hopeless as it sounds, because the authors go on to remind us in alarming detail just how utterly our economic and political well-being depends on keeping wildlife populations healthy. Insect pollinator populations, for instance, are in free fall. But they are essential for 75 percent of the world’s food crops. Somewhat less obviously, native predators—mainly insects, birds, and bats—also provide natural pest control, worth an estimated $4.5 billion annually in the United States. Half our pharmaceuticals come from the natural world, many of them from wildlife. The fer-de-lance snake, for instance, gave us ACE inhibitors, our most effective medicine for heart disease. A deadly cone snail gave us a painkiller called Prialt that’s more potent than morphine yet not addictive.
Much more directly, a billion of the world’s poorest people depend on wildlife as their main source of animal protein, and 2.6 billion rely on seafood protein. Failure to manage these resources so they will be available next year and the year after is a recipe for starvation, civil unrest, terrorism, and the collapse of economies, if not of civilization itself.
Hence,i conclude that one should save the Wildlife.It's really important to us,and to nature.Remember,we're destroying our nature by destroying wildlife.Hope you all understand this critical situation.
Hope that this helps you!
