Research on Environmental Responsibility Issues
About This Novel
In the vast Chinese library, there are words such as "a drop in the ocean" and "a drop in the ocean" to express the positioning of contemporary human beings in time and space. Throughout the past and present, up and down in time and space, the existence of contemporary human beings is insignificant. Understanding China's environmental history can extend our knowledge of time and space for those of us who are born with limited resources. "The study of environmental history can not only help us broaden our historical horizons and understand the ins and outs of environmental changes, but also provides us with a useful perspective: through the historical process, we can explore the causes and impacts of environmental changes and measures to protect the environment in the specific historical background and national conditions. We should not impose 21st century environmental protection concepts on the ancients to blame them, but we should also pay attention to looking at the ecological dilemma we are facing today from the current national and world conditions. The two books on China's environmental history, "Chinese Environmental History: From Prehistory to Modern Times" by Ma Libo, give people such a clear scene: the dense forests disappear one by one, the ancient elephant herds slowly move into the distance, and generations of human beings have thrived here for countless years. After this, our current cities and villages were formed. According to research, China in ancient times was the most biologically diverse area on earth. Elephants, tigers, finless porpoises, etc. Could be seen everywhere on land and rivers. "4,000 Years ago, elephants were found in most areas of China. Today, within the People's Republic of China, wild elephants remain in only a few isolated protected areas in the southwest, bordering Myanmar. The abbreviation of "Yuye" in Henan Province comes from Xiang Yu Shengye, which may mean that elephants appeared in the Central Plains after there was a history of writing. Thousands of years have passed, and these animals have gradually become endangered species, living in remote areas far away from humans. "The land called China today was once one of the most diverse and abundant areas of life on earth 4,000 years ago. But now, the Asian elephant-a species that once roamed this vast land-can only be found in the most remote areas of the southwest, and the South China tiger is an endangered species... Hundreds of other species have gone extinct with little recognition. Nearly 40% of China's mammal species are endangered; 70%-80% of plant species are threatened. In terms of ecology, many organisms have been given various names, such as indicator species (for the environment). Change-sensitive and indicator species), umbrella species (choose a suitable target species whose living environment needs can cover the needs of other species, while protecting this species, it also provides a protective umbrella for other species) and flagship species (can attract public attention, have appeal and influence Biologist E. O. Wilson calls those animals at the top of the food chain "star species" and others as "umbrella species." An important reason for defining star species and umbrella species is that their presence or absence can serve as a barometer for human intrusion and damage to the natural environment.
