As scientists investigated the new Coronavirus, it became known that strands of such a disease can travel through animals, therefore affecting a wider population. Animals were trafficked in the animal trade and contributed to the direct origination of the virus spreading to nearly every country. Farming practices also were natural hosts to blood-linked pathogens, which was unknown until a period of scientific research that barely halted the consumption and exploitation of these animals. As a result, try to take the first step and ban wildlife trade and consumption during the month of February, followed by Shenzhen. exotic animals were banned in trade by the European Parliament, southeast Asia, and in the United States. This termination was sad to deal with the current situation but had added benefits towards the future.
The coronavirus pandemic did catastrophic damage to the global economy and the population. Rules were put in place to limit human on human contact, but as the virus spread, these legislative matters extended to animals as studies on the spread of the virus grew. By banning the wide known market of illegal animal trade, these animal rights enforcements set industries to be shut down, benefiting animals that were facing extinction from such a system. Because of this pandemic, environmental rules became part of the national cause for ending the pandemic, making it a more serious reason than the people who wanted the coronavirus to be extinct. These tactics within farming aren’t new, and I think that humans dismiss their consumption of meats and other similar products as being cruelty-free and possibly even good for the environment. In the end, though, the author makes it evident that animals carry and are affected by the disease that we are affected by, making our issues those of animals (and reverse). Although these events set the world with a more positive outlook on enforcing regulation early, it’s disappointing that it took a pandemic to make humans take action on animal rights against illegal global sales. However, at least the coronavirus pandemic led to a positive lead in creating a more healthy and populated globe of animals that should be treasured.
Scientifically Reversing Animal Extinctions
Cairns, Rebecca. (2021, June 4). These animals went extinct in the wild. Scientists brought them back. Retrieved December 1, 2021 from https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/16/world/ animal- reintroduction-extinct-wild-c2e-hnk-spc-intl-scn/index.html.
Throughout current events, it is evident that the people and government make changes when the issue has reached a point that impacts everyone instead of addressing it early. While propositions like Endangered Species Day would recognize that healthy environments are linked to protecting the nature and species that humans coexist with are positive, these extinctions are still impactful. In incredible terms, extinct animals were actually brought back by scientists who used translocation, breeding, and reintroduction programs to bring back removed populations. By introducing certain species, environments can be additionally revived as plants are eaten to lessen wildfires, herbivores eat toxic (to humans) bushes, etc. As a result, the author establishes that balanced efforts can aid the populations that would otherwise die and cause a lasting effect to humans and their life.
The earth is a united structure in which many aspects, people, animals, government, forests, industries, etc., work together to create everything we know. Recognizing that there is a deadline to reverse all of the environmental and atmospheric destruction that humans pause is crucial to promoting the loss of connections humans have with their natural world. National strategies would be able to reverse this, especially if funding came from a broad branch of individuals rather than just governmental funds and with a large population of volunteers. With all the money in the world, I would think that people would spend it on things to help their future generations. However, many times, humans are too selfish to understand that actions have consequences, most exemplified by the coal and iron industries that flood the sky with smoke, causing climate change. With the atmosphere and bodies of water being contaminated, low-population animals killed for sports and abused in illegal trade, and biodiversity falling to both issues, the idea of this scientific re-introduction could promote the bond of humans and animals and improve the Earth as a whole.
“World Environmental Day” Movement

Written in Nepal, Galimberti analyzes how tensions have risen in her country and how World Environmental Day has finally risen to present the synonymous issue of the dangerous world economy driven by fossil fuels. As a sense of sustainability slips away, the author writes of the pressures on policymakers to create better goals. Temperatures rising, a lack of harmonic unity and little oceanic protection are all examples that prove how the climate to biodiversity link must become the focus of awareness and governmental efforts. Being a specific global location, despite being a more underrated website, this look into a personal experience in a foreign land analyzes the grand nature that this loss of healthy habitat and population is persistent throughout history and today as well.
The recognition within this article that all parties, legislative and other, need to come together, is very important. In determining a plan of action for current issues such as biodiversity loss and a lack of sustained production, I have noticed that groups of power commonly divide and some take superiority in the charge. Establishing a universal effort, such as through the WED (World Environmental Day) could be a very successful movement if global nations were to truly come together and combine their efforts. Instead of corporations using their wealth to expand their companies and outreach for import/export, they should use it to work on the current issues that will plague our world in the near future. Economic restoration should become a major concept for large enterprises and the populace, rather than just governmental facilities and outreach should be given importance in media outlets. While ideas have been proposed throughout time to fix these problems, it will take a level of governmental and population’s urgency to embark on centuries of biodiversity revival and extinction reversal.
Losing Biodiversity Poses a Financial Risk
Summerhayes, Geoff, Waterford, Laura (2021, July 3). Biodiversity loss is a risk to the global financial system. Retrieved December 1, 2021 from https://www.theguardian.com/comment isfree/2021/jul/04/biodiversity-loss-could-wreck-the-global-financial-system-and-its-only-a-matter-of-time/.
The combination of climate change and a loss of biodiversity is now being called the “twin crisis” by scientists, explaining how this powerfully negative force will serve as a detriment to many aspects of life. The awareness of the dangers of such issues is shown through the Dasgupta Review that promotes how the economic system is reliant on maintaining biodiversity. While this seemingly existential threat in which a seemingly infinite extinction of organisms circa the globe continues without halt, institutions have taken a greater involvement in order to protect their own systems and therefore, protect the future ones as well. The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) will work towards solving nature and financial related issues, as a result, endorsed by multiple global nations and corporations, towards nature-positive actions. It may take trillions of dollars in loss, but the end will be worth it by protecting lands from expanding businesses that ignore these environmental impacts.
It is incredible to recognize the vast scale at which the world is beyond equilibrium, especially represented by the sheer amount of money it would take to even try to fix the problems that humans have caused. As businesses continue to expand, the lands for these animal species will continue to shrink, inevitably leading to the extinction of countless populations. It’s terrifying to think about how the Earth may be in a couple of hundreds of years considering many sources depict the Earth as being nearly beyond improvement. I wonder why articles such as this, that display a general view towards the hopeful global perspective, are more in quantity than that of United States articles. Additionally, because it is evident that some foreign countries take more initiative with setting biodiversity measures, I wonder how much aid these countries give to one another to promote nature protection. Nonetheless, realizing that biodiversity loss and extinction are connected with natural disasters and financial distraughtness, shows the pressure that humans need to feel to fix these conditions.

Preventing Biodiversity Loss: Radical Solutions and New Targets
Jeary, K. (2021, April 26). Preventing Biodiversity Loss: Radical Solutions and New Targets. Retrieved June 6, 2021, from https://earth.org/preventing-biodiversity-loss-solutions- and-new-targets/
The loss of biodiversity has had serious implications for the Earth in the last decades as industrialization and technology advance. Humans and wildlife are forced into closer contact which promotes the transfer of diseases, like the Zika virus, as well as man’s desire for goods. The world desperately requires systemic change to combat fossil fuels, illegal markets, the lack of sustainability, and growing consumerism if one hopes to conserve the natural environment and populations that are so beneficial to human development. While the government may try employing protectionary measures, it is equally important to inform everyone of these issues.
As the scale of decreasing biodiversity continues at a substantial rate, the dropping populations of animals is additionally impacting humans, who experience a more difficult livelihood as products and food become more scarce. In illustrating the causes and effects on animals and the greater world, one can understand that fixing the relationship between such groups is crucial to create a world that can produce for the large-scale markets and quantity of humans that can be seen today. The environment is not isolated from human action, and realizing that the extinction of species in the present and past ages is generally human-caused, will allow changes to be made to benefit Earth and its life forms. While humans have such a power to change the life around them, I have noticed that it usually takes lots of work to even begin the conversation on aiding wildlife and the environments that make up the Earth that we call home, as illustrated by this article. Conventions such as CBD are arising, hoping to establish beneficial measurements to prevent the ongoing biodiversity crisis but these routines have not been established globally, especially in locations that pose the greatest threat to extinct species.
