Wildlife is the totality of all organisms that inhabit our planet. The main signs by which one can distinguish living from nonliving are:
- complex structure;
- the presence of a reaction to external stimuli;
- complication as it develops and grows;
- ability to reproduce while preserving the genetic information of parents;
- use of energy received from the external environment for one’s own needs.
All life during its existence goes through a series of successive stages: birth, development, withering and death.
In addition, there are 6 steps in organizing life:
- molecular (historically the oldest life structure);
- cellular (there are both unicellular and multicellular organisms);
- organismic (includes individual individuals);
- population-specific (a set of representatives of one species or population);
- biocenotic (a number of species living in a limited area);
- biosphere.
This definition is very superficial and cannot fully convey the whole meaning and reveal the meaning of this term. In order to do this, more detailed environmental studies and the study of the information received are required. Scientific research in this area began in ancient times and continues to this day.
According to this classification, wildlife is the last level of development, which correlates with the rest as a whole and its parts.
Wildlife world
The current situation, however, is complicated by the fact that people no longer feel that they are part of the world, other objects of wildlife have become only a means to satisfy their growing needs. In the process of evolution, Homo sapiens developed a false sense of superiority and undivided power over nature. This is primarily due to the ability to transform the world. But we must not forget that inanimate nature cannot exist separately from living.
Thoughtless actions in the near future may lead to a
point of no return being passed
, after which it will be impossible to prevent a global
environmental catastrophe .
The wildlife world is actually very fragile. The proof can be the appearance of more and more new pages in the Red Book. Wildlife - these are 5 kingdoms: animals, plants, bacteria, fungi and viruses, which are closely interconnected. The disappearance of one, even their smallest representative, can destroy all other life forms.
It is very difficult for a typical layman to understand how, for example, cutting down a piece of forest for the construction of a plant can affect anything other than his income. But everything is quite simple: in addition to pollution of water, soil and air, this leads to the loss of the habitual habitat of many animals and, as a consequence, their death.
The continuation of the barbaric attitude to the resources that wildlife gives us is nothing but the destruction of oneself with one’s own hands. In order for future generations to enjoy all the riches of the planet Earth, you need to understand this and today is already moving away from the consumer worldview.
