Foreign media: "Chao Niu" has been announced in China that functional extinction is "knocking on the alarm" in order to protect the work.

The Emirates "National News" on August 24th, original topic: Dugong was announced in China's functional extinction. In order to protect the work in China in China, Dugong has been announced (functional). The international action of protecting this mild marine mammal "sounds the alarm".

Studies carried out by the London Animal Society and the Chinese Academy of Sciences believe that the number of habitats caused by fishing and shipping, plus the loss of habitat caused by human activities, has led to a decline in the number of dugins, and has gradually decreased since the 1970s. In more than 30 countries, including the UAE, this kind of creature has been discovered. Because of being used to eating seagrass, they are also affectionately called "hoods".

People usually find the trace of duggy in coastal waters, and now they have been listed as dangerous species by the World Nature Conservation Alliance. The above studies have found that there have been no records in China since 2008. "Our new research shows that strong evidence about strong evidence, indicating that the region has lost another kind of aquatic mammalian species that is unique to China," published in the report of the report in the magazine of "Royal Society of Royal Society" in the UK, one of the reports, London Professor Chatev said, "Their disappearance will not only have a chain reaction to the function of the ecosystem, but also ring the alarm to remind people that the extinction may happen before formulating an effective protection action."

The authors of the study said that they would like to see any evidence that Dugong still existed in China, but their studies showed that in the known dugvy habitat known in mainland China, no evidence that they still survived. Dunv is threatened by the loss and degeneration of its seagrass habitat, which is usually caused by coastal development or water pollution. If you ca n’t eat enough seaweed, you ca n’t reproduce normally.

They are also facing the risk of being entangled by the fishing net. Abu Dhabi has about 3,000 dugvy, which is the second largest dugvy population in the world after Australia. Most of them exist in the Marlava Biosphere Marine Reserve, about 160 kilometers west of the UAE capital.

The study of Abu Dhabi Environment in 2020 shows that the fishing net ban issued by the UAE in 2019 has reduced the mortality rate of dugco. This kind of mammals cannot breathe underwater, so it must be breathing air on the surface every few minutes. In this way, once they are entangled by the fishing net, they will die soon. Before introducing these regulatory regulations, the mortality rate of Dugong gradually increased and reached a record high in the previous quarter. Most of them drowned after being trapped by the fishing net. (Translated by Ding Yuqing)
