A large fish that looks like one of those rare animals on TV was discovered. This is a national first-level protected animal, the Yangtze River sturgeon. The Fishery Law Enforcement Brigade of Tuanfeng County, Hubei Province received a request for help from Mr. Wang, a citizen, and rescued a Yangtze River sturgeon at the red beach of Luohuozhou Island in Tuanfeng County. The Yangtze River Chinese sturgeon has just been declared extinct in the wild. According to the latest report on the Global Red List of Threatened Species released by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the Yangtze River sturgeon has become extinct in the wild. Appearing in the report alongside the Yangtze sturgeon is the long white sturgeon, which is thought to be extinct.

After watching videos and pictures, Du Hao, a researcher at the Yangtze River Fisheries Research Institute of China Fisheries Science Research, confirmed that the "big fish" discovered by tourists along the river in Tuanfeng County was the Yangtze River sturgeon. The Yangtze sturgeon is a species unique to China and is distributed in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. It can live for 20 to 30 years in the wild. ?Professor Du speculated that this Yangtze River sturgeon is a sub-adult fish, estimated to be between 5 and 6 years old. ?Monitoring results show that the natural reproduction of wild Yangtze River sturgeon is estimated to have stopped. ?It can be judged that this individual must have survived in the wild for a long time and is in good physical condition. This is a living example of the effectiveness of Yangtze River protection. The importance of protecting the ecological environment lies in the fact that a good ecological environment is the basis for human survival and health.

Human beings originate from nature, and human beings and nature are a living entity. Human harm to nature will ultimately harm man himself. The ecological environment is irreplaceable. It's not easy to use. In the history of human development, especially in the process of industrialization, there have been countless incidents that destroyed natural resources and the ecological environment, which are also the basis for the existence and development of human civilization. Ancient civilizations in history all originated in areas with good ecological environments, but there are many examples of civilizations declining due to the destruction of the ecological environment. The ecological environment is directly related to productivity. Productivity is the ability of human beings to transform nature. It consists of three basic elements: labor materials, labor objects and laborers. The natural ecological environment is the basis and substance of labor objects and labor materials, and is a direct component of productivity.
