As the pandemic coronavirus affect animals?

Because of the pandemic of the novel coronavirus CoVID-19 affects not only the people. Unfortunately, the rapid changes in our life have a negative impact on wildlife. filled video from different countries, which through the empty streets of roam mountain goats, wild coyotes and wild boars. In General, all the recent recalls scenes from films about the death of human civilization: when the plants take over more space and roam the streets on wolves and deer. I certainly hope that this will not come up, but after a few weeks of quarantine in the centre of Barcelona snuck wild boars, and in Thailand monkeys previously fed tourists, roam the streets in search of food and attack people. It turns out that with each new day CoVID-19 poses new challenges that need urgent attention.

What happens to animals without humans?

If you think that the animals all will be fine if humanity suddenly disappear, do not jump to conclusions. Of course, many species in the absence of the people will flourish, such as coyotes, wild boars and rats. The fact that coyotes and rats are in some way “universal animal”, able to adapt to different environmental conditions and eat whatever you find. However, not all animals are so lucky – some species are today threatened with extinction and to survive they need human help.

The First thing worth mentioning about the animals that are closer to us all — dogs, cats, pigeons, seagulls and so on. Many dogs and cats live on the street and, like the pigeons and gulls that are dependent on human food. On the streets now almost no people to feed stray animals is simply no one. Previously, they could at least eat people's discarded leftovers, but on empty streets now edible garbage is also virtually no. Don't forget about the animals that are kept in shelters for dogs and cats — there are no visitors, the owners do not receive donations and our smaller brothers suffer from hunger.

Don't believe birds are starving without walking on the street people? Watch this video where the starving white doves literally pounced on discarded human food.

Unfortunately, in the beginning of 2020 because of the help you want more and more wild animals. Let me remind you that because of the fires Koala suffered so much that many experts have expressed concern about recovery of their population. To save koalas and other species in Australia, set up special reserves where the animals were all necessary assistance. In a pandemic CoVID-19, when in many countries people are actually forbidden to leave their homes, many Pets are left unattended. However, the Koala conservation centre in Australia, “lone pine Koala” seems to have found a solution – now for these cute pandas can be watched online or . These streams allow you to donate money for the maintenance and protection of the reserve. The money is needed at least in order for the employees of the reserve could buy all the necessary personal protective equipment and to continue its work in the context of the pandemic. In General, I recommend to view.

Unfortunately, not all countries do so, like Australia. In Africa, where the ecotourism industry is funding efforts to preserve wildlife, coronavirus was the cause of serious problems for people and for animals. Writes to the pandemic in Namibia on tourism accounted for 16% of employment; in Tanzania, where mount Kilimanjaro, protected areas cover a quarter of the total territory of the country. But due to the outbreak of coronavirus almost overnight, the tourism industry went into decline, and protected areas will be closed at least until September. This means that people who protect animals from poachers, I don't get paid. Faced with mass unemployment, they themselves can become poachers to feed their families.

don't know why people decided that our species is more important than other

If you are interested in the topic of poaching, it'll probably be a little surprised. Scientists believe that the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 could appear because of poachers who hunted on a rather cute and unusual animals – pangolin. These mammals feed on ants and live mainly in South Africa. Unfortunately, unusual gastronomic interests of the people of China have put the pangolin on the brink of extinction. Read more about the relationship of these animals with the novel coronavirus, read .

The Situation in Africa also exacerbates the collapse of the Kenyan industry for the supply of flowers in Amsterdam flower market. Bankruptcy industry just left without work for 7,000 people. It is important to understand that all of these individuals will look for food and many will begin to hunt wild animals. So, today in Africa there is the real war between animal rights activists and poachers who massively exterminate elephants and rhinos. Unfortunately, this war affects not only animals but also people. However, it seems to me that saving other species from destruction – a direct duty of man. But when it comes to survival, the situation becomes very difficult.
