Features: Since life formed on Earth, various animals and plants have continuously emerged and disappeared. The emergence of new species and the extinction of old ones were originally natural phenomena. However, due to various reasons, the rate of species extinction on Earth has greatly accelerated. Species that would naturally take millions of years to disappear are now facing the threat of extinction within just decades. What exactly is causing so many animals and plants to be on the brink of extinction?
1. Violation and destruction of the ecological environment
2. Environmental pollution
3. Introduction of alien species
4. Spread of viruses and pests
5. Commercial interests-driven activities
Wildlife and plant protection organizations and individuals in China and many parts of the world are conducting arduous research and investigations globally to identify which species are at risk of extinction and what measures can be taken to save them. To deepen the understanding of this grand endeavor to maintain Earth's ecological balance and serve humanity among Chinese readers, especially young people, and to encourage their active participation, we have compiled the "Global Endangered and Rare Animals Album" series based on the data published by wildlife and plant protection organizations worldwide. The series is divided into three volumes: "Mammals," "Birds," and "Fish, Amphibians, and Reptiles." The animals listed in the books are not exhaustive, but they include the main species.
