Rural sparrows are decreasing, the truth is revealed Pesticides are not the main reason, what is the reason?
Squeak ......Squeak ......"There used to be a pleasant birdsong in the village, but now, even the most common sparrows are gone.
What's going on? Why did the bird that had been with humans for so many years disappear without a trace?
Others say that all this is caused by pesticides, just sprinkle pesticides on the plants and let them poison them directly.
Actually, it's not all, pesticides are just one factor, and the rest is not important.
In the Chinese countryside, the bird is the most prevalent species, and it has played a large role for a long time.
Their emergence has played an irreplaceable and important role in maintaining ecological balance and promoting agricultural development.
Sparrows are insects that can swallow more than 15,000 insects a year, making them an effective means of catching pests and mitigating food losses.
In addition, it also plays an important role in pollination and seed dispersal.
Sparrow is a highly sensitive creature to the surrounding environment, and its population and species can well reflect the ecological environment of the countryside, so it is of great significance to effectively manage and improve it.
There were so many people, in the fragrance of flowers, in the chirping of sparrows, in their sleep.
However, with the development of modernization, the appearance of the countryside has changed greatly, and the birds that used to be seen everywhere have also been threatened.
*They were also listed as Class 2 protected animals in the country, but they were not able to prevent their extinction.
With the wave of reform and opening up into the countryside, the urbanization process of the countryside has accelerated, and the natural ecological environment of the countryside is also constantly changing.
The original wetlands, forests, and other sparrow habitats have been severely damaged, making it impossible for sparrows to reproduce, and the population has naturally declined.
The second is food, the staple food of birds is grain and insects, if the traditional farming mode is changed, such as an acre of land or an acre of land, a large number of mechanical operations will reduce the food resources of birds.
In today's rural areas, because a lot of pesticides are used, they are poisonous, and they are also a dangerous thing for sparrows.
Inappropriate application of pesticides can not only affect the survival of birds, but also affect their populations up the food chain, reducing their feeding habits.
Climate change is also a problem, because the countryside is becoming more industrialized, and some developed villages are building factories, and the carbon dioxide released from these factories will also cause the temperature to rise, which will cause the climate to be abnormal.
Even the harshest weather has become a common phenomenon and poses a great threat to sparrows.
In addition, the destruction of the ecology by human beings, a large number of trees are cut down every year, so that their habitats are shrinking again and again, and their natural predators are constantly threatening them.
Unable to tolerate the constant changes in the countryside, the sparrow population has plummeted, and people are to blame for this.
Maybe this is our future, and we need to protect them like our own relatives.
Strengthen the protection of wetlands and forest sparrow habitats, actively carry out forest greening, and create favorable conditions for sparrow to thrive.
Establish a protected area and set aside a temporary protected area during the breeding season of the birds to reduce anthropogenic impacts.
In order to reduce the harm to birds, pesticides should be applied moderately and ecological agriculture should be promoted. Abundant food resources, the establishment of artificial nests, to provide abundant food and habitat for birds. In order to better conserve sparrow populations, more research should be done on their living habits and reproductive habits.
Strengthen the rural people's awareness of the conservation of house finches, and put an end to indiscriminate hunting and harassment.
The earth is our human home, although we are very small, but we have everything we should have, why are we higher than them?
At present, the sparrow population in rural areas of China is facing many problems such as serious ecological damage, changes in agricultural production activities, climate change, and environmental pollution.
In order to truly solve this problem fundamentally, it is necessary to start from all aspects and adopt comprehensive countermeasures in order to create a good living environment for sparrows.
Only in this way can the species be better preserved and the ecological balance of the area maintained.
