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.

Turning carbon emissions into methane fuel
Chemists have developed a novel way to capture and convert carbon dioxide into methane, suggesting that future gas emissions could be converted into an alternative fuel using electricity from renewable sources. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas that accounts for a large part of Earth's warming climate, and is produced by power plants, factories and various forms of transportation.
