About one -third of human foods need to rely on other pollination animals such as bees and butterflies. But due to climate crisis, these animals are in danger. According to CNN, the number of pollination animals, including bees, bats and emperor butterflies, is falling sharply, which has an impact on global crop yields.

"One of the three foods we eat is directly related to pollination animals." Ron Magol, a wild animal expert at the Miami Zoo, said in an interview that the decline in the number of fascinating animals also means "people may lose some of the most. Favorite food ".

Last month, the World Nature Conservation Alliance included the Emperor Butterfly in the "Red List of Endangered Species" and said that factors such as warming climate warming and habitat have been threatened by the survival of the emperor butterfly; "Cliff -style" declined. According to data from the University of Agricultural University of Aoben, from April 2020 to April 2021, American beekeepers lost over 40 % of bee colonies.

According to relevant data released by the US Food and Drug Administration, apples, melon, cranberries, pumpkin, broccoli and almonds are the most affected batch of food. As early as 2017, data from the US Department of Agriculture had shown that more than 85%of the global grain of the world was completed by bees.

In recent decades, the number of bats has also experienced amazing decline. More than half of the types of bats in the United States have been listed as "endangered" species. Magil told reporters that this also means that the liquor will be affected.

"If there is no bat, there will be no liquid wine, because it is the only animal to help the agave pollination." Magil said.

"And the same as butterflies and bees, like butterflies, bees, are easily affected by climate change." Magil continued to explain to reporters, "High temperature weather will cause bats to die due to heat stroke."
