China is one of the countries with rich bird resources in the world. According to the latest statistics of State Forestry Administration and china wildlife conservation association, there are 1256 species of birds in China, which are not only rich in bird resources, but also unique to China. At present, there are more than 50 unique and rare birds in China. There are 15 species of cranes in the world, including 9 species in China. Goose and duck 148 species, 46 species in China. There are 276 species of wild pheasants and 56 species in China, which is called "Pheasant Kingdom" by international ornithologists. The rarest Zhu in the world? Once considered extinct in the world, 198 1 was rediscovered in China, and with the efforts of the China government, it has grown to more than 200 species, setting an example for the world to save endangered species. However, the survey report on the status quo of wild animals published in china wildlife conservation association last year shows that the phenomenon of eating and managing wild animals has developed in recent years, especially in some places, eating wild birds has become a trend, and illegally managing birds has become a trend. The illegal operation of birds is quite common, and even some areas have reached an uncontrollable level. In the investigation, it was found that there were 53 species of wild animals eaten by human beings. Except for 7 species such as sika deer and ostrich, 46 species of wild animals originated in the wild, accounting for 86.8% of the investigated species. Guangdong province alone eats an average of 20 tons of snakes and 20,000 birds every day. According to the relevant person in charge of the Forestry Department of Guangdong Province, there are more than 450 species of bird resources in the province, and many wild birds are on the verge of extinction in recent years. The investigators investigated 138 1 restaurants, 286 non-staple food shopping malls and 2 18 markets in 25 cities, including 688 restaurants, 44 non-staple food shopping malls and 96,544 markets dealing in wildlife. Among them, there are 0/6 species of mammals, 0/6 species of amphibians and reptiles, and 2/0 species of birds. Walking around restaurants and restaurants in some southern cities, game is sold almost everywhere, whether it is high-end restaurants, food cities or low-priced food stalls. Among them, snakes are the most common, and people who eat "finches" are also very common. This "sparrow" is not just a sparrow, but a general term for all wild birds. In front of many restaurants, you can often see "a hundred birds singing together", but these birds soon become delicious on the dining table. China wildlife conservation association said that from the bird killing incidents investigated in recent years, it can be seen that some people are driven by economic interests and kill birds by any means. Such as white swan poisoning in Sanmenxia City, Henan Province, pheasant poisoning in Xinzhou District, Shanxi Province, and bird poisoning in Poyang Lake, Jiangxi Province. The direct purpose of the poisoner is to sell money in the restaurant after killing. According to incomplete statistics, 0/5%-20% of the animal and plant species in China are threatened, which is higher than the world average 10%- 15%. Gluttony of wild animals has caused great damage to the whole ecological environment. An organism often coexists with other organisms of 10-30, and the extinction of one of them will cause a serious chain reaction. This chain-like extinction crisis of biological species is threatening the survival foundation of mankind. For example, due to the excessive killing of birds such as raptors, rodent damage caused the reduction of grain production in Heilongjiang Province; Due to the decrease of birds and the serious harm of longicorn beetles, a large number of trees have to be cut down in Gansu's three-north shelterbelt, resulting in ecological imbalance, and sandstorms are serious in some areas where sandstorms have been controlled. Over-catching falcons in Xinjiang, Qinghai and other places has led to more and more serious rodent damage in the grassland. Due to the ecological imbalance in the maduo county at the source of the Yellow River, grassland rodent infestation has become a disaster. The population of maduo county is only over 654.38+00000000, but the number of rats is over 654.38+000000000, which accelerates the local grassland desertification and seriously affects the production and life of herders. In some southern provinces of China, due to a large number of rodents, such as snakes and owls, the ecological imbalance caused crop yield reduction. The rise of the "fashion" of eating sparrows in some areas can actually make Hunan, Guangxi, Yunnan and other provinces set off an upsurge of killing sparrows, making this kind of bird specializing in field pests almost extinct. There can't be only humans on earth. Protecting wild animals means protecting human beings themselves. 1999165438+129 October, the State Forestry Administration issued an urgent notice, demanding that all localities severely crack down on criminal activities that destroy bird resources. Many areas have taken effective measures according to law to further curb the phenomenon of indiscriminate catching and eating of birds and other wild animals.
