That is the way of a whole human being." ~ Abraham Lincoln Only if we care will we help. Only if we help shall all be saved.
~ Dr. Jane Goodall UN Award Ceremony The morality of a nation can be judged by the way society treats its animals.
~ Mahatma Ghandi Canvasback duck populations have? declined with the loss of wetland habitat1. Habitat Loss Because our population is growing and our cities are sprawling into the countryside, fewer natural wildlife habitat areas are left each year.?? 2. Climate Change Because many types of plants and animals have specific habitat requirements, climate change could cause disastrous losses of wildlife species 3. Pesticides and Toxic Chemicals Pesticides are deliberately spread to make the environment toxic to certain plants, insects or rodents, so it shouldn't be surprising that other plants and wildlife are often harmed at the same time.? 4. Non-native Species--- Over the past 150 years, many non-native plants, molluscs, insects, fish, birds, mammals, and diseases have found their way to Wisconsin.? These include such well-known headaches as buckthorn, carp, zebra mussels, spiny water fleas, purple loosestrife, gypsy moths, Eurasian milfoil, feral cats, white perch, West Nile Virus, Japanese beetles, and starlings.? These "aliens" are often aggressive competitors with native wildlife, or predatory, especially after they've left their own natural environments and controls. 国际刑警组织估计全球野生动植物制品非法贸易每年交易额高达60到100亿美元(是仅次于非法毒品贸易的第二大犯罪活动),是当前大规模物种灭绝危机的主要原因。?濒危野生动植物种国际贸易公约(CITES)是一个国际协定,其主要目的是用来规范合法贸易,减少非法野生动植物贸易, 最终挽救受到威胁的动物不致灭绝。 然而某些动植物种的商业开发利用和贸易依旧十分猖獗,已经导致某些物种数量的衰竭,有些甚至濒临灭绝。 其它野生动植物种需要受到保护,确保其未来的存续。?根据联合国环境规划署国际保护监测中心统计,全球有520种濒危和极危哺乳动物,503种濒危和极危鸟类, 70种濒危和极危爬行动物和63种濒危和极危两栖动物。
国际自然保护联盟(IUCN)报告显示632种非洲两栖动物中约有28%“濒于灭绝”。
联合国环境规划署报告显示4,000多种哺乳动物中有1,130种、而10,000多种鸟类中有1,183种属于渐危物种。
美国自然历史博物馆馆长Michael Novacek博士表示联合国的数据同根据土地丧失和海洋破坏程度所反映的是一致的,“大约有30%的物种可能在本世纪中期灭绝。”
全球共有高达5,428种动物 – 从昆虫、贝类到大猩猩和大象—全都面临威胁。? ? 而造成物种濒危的原因是人类活动,例如非法盗猎、过度开发、污染、温室效应、栖息地毁损等。 但同时人类也有能力保护这些物种,确保全球动植物的生存。 保护濒危物种的最重要原因不仅仅因为它们可以给我们的生活带来更多乐趣,更因为世间万物都以复杂的方式紧密联系。 在物种彻底消失之前,物种的丧失已经削弱了这种联系。 某一种动物数量的大幅度降低或是生物多样性水平的下降都是整个生态系统支撑能力下降的标志。? ? 当动植物灭绝,我们地球环境结构改变,人类也面临极大威胁。?人类的生存和这个世界丰富多样的生物息息相关。 IFAW致力于保护生物多样性。 我们在CITES的工作仅仅是我们为保护全球动物存续的方式之一。 ? IFAW认为CITES是用于保护某些物种不受国际贸易潜在负面影响的一种重要方式。 今年的CITES会议我们关注的焦点将是亚洲象、非洲象、鲸、姥鲨、大白鲨、玳瑁龟和传统医药问题(其中涉及海马和淡水龟)。 ? IFAW在CITES的工作是我们为了有效保护全球物种,而将地区合作项目、科学、法律和公众教育相结合的独特方式。 ? *来源:国际刑警组织第一次会议:“野生动物盗猎”(2003年10月13日) CITES如何工作CITES2004:坚决打击非法野生动物贸易常见问题解答致力于保护野生动物2002年CITES智利会议成果发送E-card!5. Mismanagement --- Some native wildlife can become a problem when released from their natural population controls.? When wolves are scarce and hunters too few, white-tailed deer will often strip the woods of native wildflowers (such as Trilliums) and even certain tree species (such as Hemlock), when their populations are allowed to become too high.? Canada geese are beautiful birds, but when cityfolk feed native geese as if they were pets, their populations can rise to uncomfortable levels in urban areas, resulting in polluted waterways and manure-laden lawns.? Gulls can become similar problems, when they scavange for scraps from our garbage heaps and landfills. How You Can Help Wildlife 1. Live in the City --- Many of us yearn to live in the country, so we can be closer to nature and enjoy the peace and quiet.? It's ironic that this urge is actually destroying thousands of acres of wildlife habitat each year in Wisconsin.? We need to develop a new environmental ethic in Wisconsin, encouraging everyone to stay in the cities.? We need to make cities more liveable and leave the remaining wild areas to the wildlife. 2. Support Strict Zoning --- Landuse zoning is one of the few tools available to the government to protect wetlands, natural areas and environmental corridors.? Unfortunately, such zoning is often opposed by powerful land development or political forces.? It's important for citizens to show support for zoning to balance against these negative pressures. 3. Support Organizations Preserving Rare Properties --- Several groups specialize in buying and maintaining pieces of significant wildlife habitat which are threatened with development.?4. Create Habitat in Your Backyard --- You can help sustain wildlife in your own backyard, with careful selection of native plants, trees, structures, nest boxes, water and food 5. Conserve Energy --- We must work together to reduce our energy consumption. 6. Limit Your Family Size --- Each person requires space and natural resources to live.? Our human population is rapidly rising to levels which make it difficult to provide adequate resources for humans while sustaining a healthy environment for wildlife.? If each couple limited themselves to no more than 2 children, our world’s population could stabilize and support everyone without conflict or suffering.? 7. Get Involved and Talk to Your Legislators --- Many of our current governmental regulations are not helpful for preserving wildlife habitat or conserving energy, and some policies actually reward large energy users with lower bulk rates.?? Citizens need to contact their legislators and ask for better policies.?
