In the past 500 years, 322 species of animals have become extinct due to human activities. Two-thirds of extinct species have occurred in the past 200 years.

The dodo became extinct on 168 1

The dodo is the first animal recorded as extinct because of human activities. Dodo is a flightless bird, which is only found in mauritius island, Africa. Because its wings are too short, it can only jump forward. It is this shortcoming that makes it easier to be hunted by humans. Some people think that the dodo was eaten up by colonists, but according to records, the dodo meat is hard and unpalatable, so the colonists on the island are unlikely to have the idea of eating the dodo except for fun. In addition, Europeans also import cats, dogs, mice, pigs and cynomolgus monkeys to Mauritius. These animals either feed on dodos or occupy their living space and destroy their living environment. After the dodo was discovered by humans in the early16th century, due to the influence of human hunting and human activities, the number of dodo decreased greatly in less than 200 years. /kloc-around 0/680, the dodo was completely extinct and was called one of the most famous extinct animals except dinosaurs.

The Stella manatee became extinct in 1768.

Also known as the giant dugong or Stella manatee, it is an extinct giant mammal. They are the largest known species in the order Manatee, larger than their close relatives Manatee and Dugong, and they are the only species in the order Manatee that have survived to modern times and adapted to the cold climate. Manatees were discovered in Bering Strait in 174 1 year. The discoverer was the naturalist George Stella, who was traveling with the explorer Vitus Bering. He was also the only biologist who had ever seen a live manatee. At that time, the number of manatees was very small, mainly living in Bering Island and Copper Island (меднии) near the Commander Islands. 1768, due to a large number of human hunting, eventually extinct.

In modern times, the list of animals extinct due to human activities is too long. There are countless animals that have been extinct because of human beings. Although not all of them were directly killed by human beings, most of them were extinct because of human activities. It is almost certain that mammoths, elephant birds and other large animals in Africa were directly extinct by human beings. At first, it was mainly predation, but also partly because these animals would pose a potential threat to human safety. Third, due to environmental changes caused by human activities, natural conditions are no longer suitable for these animals to survive. Since the17th century, many animals have become extinct, and the above are only a few. What can we do to save biodiversity? It is understood that the destructive consumption and development pattern of human beings has increased the global average temperature by 0.8 degrees Celsius and increased the endangered species on the earth by 2.8%. If people's lifestyle is not changed, the continuous emission of greenhouse gases will increase the proportion of species extinction to 16%. At least, we can start from these little things around us-don't litter, classify domestic garbage; Save water and electricity; Keep handkerchiefs at all times, reduce the consumption of household paper, paperless office, convenient and efficient; Do not eat wild animals, do not buy wild animal products, there is no killing without buying and selling; According to the planning and guidance of afforestation, protection of forests, wetlands and grasslands; Avoid or reduce the use of pesticides and herbicides; Expose or discourage illegal acts of hunting and selling rare creatures and protecting animals and plants; Garbage sorting, using rechargeable batteries instead of disposable batteries; Reduce the use of plastic bags, disposable paper cups and tableware; Drive less or switch to clean energy vehicles and take public transport. Don't let the world have only one color, it will be a lonely and sad background. Once a species disappears, it can never be regenerated. Therefore, the cause of biodiversity protection has a long way to go. It is everyone's responsibility to refuse killing and destruction, protect ecological balance, save energy and protect the environment and live a low-carbon life.
