The endless Wang Yang sea is the cradle of human beings, and the sea is the mother of the earth and the origin of life. There is inexhaustible oil in it, which provides valuable resources for mankind. Provide delicious seafood for human body. ...
The ocean is an important part of human home. In recent years, mankind has made remarkable achievements in developing marine economy. However, with the rapid development of industrialization and urbanization, the global marine pollution problem is prominent, and marine health is red.
The ocean once gave mankind too much, but with the progress of human science and technology, human beings mercilessly extended their claws to the ocean. ...
Today, the number of blue whales in Antarctica is less than the original 1%, and the number of gray whales in the western Pacific is only 100, which is on the verge of extinction. In Antarctic waters, nearly 1200 whales are killed every year.
This set of shocking data not only shows us the current situation of whales on the verge of extinction, but also reflects from the bottom of my heart. Nowadays, the whale, a beautiful spirit in the blue ocean, is threatened by both nature and human beings.
The frequent occurrence of whale stranding events around the world makes it a key factor for the continuous decrease of whale population. Today, we are not sure what caused this "collective suicide" behavior of whales, but some environmentalists and scientists believe that environmental pollution has led to the stranding of whales. Many scientists say that chemicals that pollute the sea water may disturb the feelings of whales. In addition, the sound waves emitted by the sonar and echo sounder of warships and the noise of underwater explosion will make the whale's echo positioning system disorder, thus stranding the frightened whale.
In addition, the rising ocean temperature reduces the environment suitable for cetaceans. Climate change leads to the change of whale habitat environment, thus reducing its food source. Therefore, in recent years, a large number of whales are threatened by hunger. The harsh living environment does pose a certain threat to the survival of whales, but the biggest threat is the cruel "killing" of human beings.
Whales are extinct because they have too much value for people to use.
Whale fat can be used to make soap, candles and lipstick. Whale can be made into many things, such as brushes, women's bras and umbrella ribs. Eating whale meat is an important part of Japanese diet. Some Japanese people said: "Most of the animal protein the Japanese consume comes from whale meat, not beef."
In recent years 10, due to the prohibition of commercial whaling by the international community, the supply of whale meat in Japan has been greatly reduced, and the price of whale meat has been soaring. One kilogram of whale meat can be sold for 90 ~ 100 dollars in Japan.
Today, whaling is still rampant. The conflict between environmental organizations and Japanese whaling ships is nothing new. Almost every whaling season, conflicts of one kind or another are always constant.
After the publication of the Global Convention for the Prohibition of Whaling 1986, the number of whales killed dropped from 22,000 to 2,700. However, just one year later, due to the default of Japan and other countries, whales were once again faced with the bad luck of being killed in large numbers. When the Convention on the Prohibition of Whaling came into effect, Japan announced that it would give up whaling. However, in 1987, while promising not to oppose the Convention, Japan bypassed international rules in the name of "scientific research" and re-launched whaling ships to the sea. From 65438 to 0994, the International Whaling Organization announced the establishment of the "Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary", and all whales in this area were protected by international law. Japan's demand for whaling was refuted.
Whaling and anti-whaling operations are a protracted war. Looking back on this operation that lasted for half a century, although some achievements have been made, it is a pity that the number of whales has not recovered significantly. After several ups and downs of whaling, the figure of whales is gradually disappearing into the depths of the sea.
Greenpeace messengers are still organizing protests to save whales, and they encourage more people to participate with their own actions. They believe that the establishment of a whale sanctuary can provide more protection for whales whose habitats and breeding grounds are threatened, and human beings cannot kill and use all other creatures because of practical needs.
Greenpeace Messenger appeals to human society, please give whales a chance to survive. As long as every country and organization Qi Xin works together, groups of whales will swim in this blue ocean year after year.
