That means our nature is in great danger. The reason behind this is man. Human occupation, pollution and global warming on the living space of animals.
Scientists from all over the world have decided on 19 December 2022 that they will go ahead and do more work for the protection of nature and animals. Because what did not happen in the last one crore years, is happening now. At present, more than one million species are on the verge of extinction.
Because when the species of an animal ends, then its genes, behavior, functions and their relationship with plants end. The death of an animal also affects the environment around it. Because any living being takes millions and billions of years to develop. It only takes a few years to finish.
Because many animals are responsible for pollination of plants. Help in increasing the nutrients in the soil. They help in fertilizing the forests. Also controls the In the last five centuries i.e. 500 years, hundreds of rare species have been extinct from the world. By the end of the year 1600, the Dodo birds which did not fly from Mauritius were over.
Humans are behind the extinction of most of the living beings. Like there was a subspecies of zebra in Africa, whose name was Quagga. By the end of the 19th century, humans hunted them so much that they became extinct. Apart from this, pollution, destroying houses or destroying forests is a big reason. Prey and greed cause death The world's only Rabb's Fringe-Limbed tree frog Toughie died in 2016. It was kept in the Atlanta Botanical Garden. But he did not have any frog of his species to breed. Now his generation is not on earth. The story of Passenger Pigeon i.e. Pigeon Martha is also similar. It died in 1914 at the Cincinnati Zoo. In 1850 there were millions of passenger pigeons. But Martha was the last of her kind.

Non-Thermal Plasma Applications in Biomedical and Medicine fields
The fishing and marine industry plays a crucial role in providing food, livelihoods, and economic prosperity worldwide. However, one significant challenge that the industry faces is biofouling - the accumulation of marine organisms on submerged surfaces.
Misbeliefs related to Food, Nutrition and Cancer
There are so many myths about food and nutrition related to cancer and it's difficult to find out the truth. Often the information shared by people and on internet is very confusing. One cannot clarify the fact about the statement.
Scientists Have Grown Diamonds in Just 150 Minutes
Natural diamonds take billions of years to form in the extreme pressures and temperatures deep underground. Synthetic forms can be produced far quicker, but they typically still require some intense squishing for up to several weeks.
In a warming world, climate scientists consider category 6 hurricanes
For more than 50 years, the National Hurricane Center has used the Saffir-Simpson Windscale to communicate the risk of property damage; it labels a hurricane on a scale from Category 1 (wind speeds between 74-95 mph) to Category 5 (wind speeds of 158 mph or greater).
New antibiotic class effective against multidrug-resistant bacteria
Scientists at Uppsala University have discovered a new class of antibiotics with potent activity against multidrug-resistant bacteria, and have shown that it cures bloodstream infections in mice. The new antibiotic class is described in an article in the scientific journal PNAS.
Modeling the origins of life: New evidence for an 'RNA World'
Charles Darwin described evolution as \"descent with modification.\" Genetic information in the form of DNA sequences is copied and passed down from one generation to the next. But this process must also be somewhat flexible, allowing slight variations of genes to arise over time and introduce new traits into the population.
European lawmakers pass world's first major act to regulate AI
The European Union's parliament on Wednesday approved the world's first major set of regulatory ground rules to govern the mediatized artificial intelligence at the forefront of tech investment.
Scientists are making significant progress towards reviving the woolly mammoth
A company aiming to bring extinct animals back from the dead said it has taken an elephant-sized step toward genetically resurrecting the woolly mammoth, a wild if contentious goal to repopulate the Arctic tundra with a missing titan.
Probiotic feed additive boosts growth, health in poultry in place of antibiotics
Antimicrobial resistance is an increasingly serious threat for public health, and the use of anti-microbials in livestock feed has been a major contributing factor in the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance to many drugs, according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
Can animals count?
Research team from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Faculty of Medicine (CU Medicine) has made a groundbreaking discovery regarding number sense in animals by confirming the existence of discrete number sense in rats, offering a crucial animal model for investigating the neural basis of numerical ability and disability in humans.
