Pilsen ZOO continues European campaigns for the protection of nature
Campaign of 2009, the original entitled Living Together, was tasked to help endangered species of European predators. In Pilsen, we proceeded to it in the spirit of the slogan, we want to live together?. For the first time the campaign was also transferred to the following year 2010 and slightly modified. Initial twelve representatives of the Beast, was accompanied by four other carnivores, birds of prey and porpoises. New aspect is also addressing the use of poisons and nature of harm. The campaign also fits into the activities of the International Year of Biodiversity, the UN announced.
What is biodiversity?
Biodiversity, a Biodiversity means the variability of all living organisms, and includes diversity within species, between species and ecosystem diversity.It is described as the diversity of life in all its forms, levels and combinations (Guide to the Convention on Biological Diversity GLOWKA et al. 1994). This is not the sum of all genes, species and ecosystems, but rather the variability within and between them. Therefore, the biodiversity in this conception regarded as a characteristic of life. Biodiversity is not identical with the generic richness (species list), but the concept is much broader and more complex. On the other hand, it can not be totally identified with the whole concern of the current conservation. Biodiversity ends de facto level of ecosystems, thus directly affect the landscape, landscape, etc. Also, geological and geomorphological diversity, collectively called geodiverzita, goes beyond the concept of biodiversity.Recently, the emergence of new concepts and landscape diversity geobiodiverzita.
Protecting biodiversity
Biodiversity or biological diversity tends to increase during evolution. To her decline is caused by certain disasters, for example, or by human intervention. The main objective of biodiversity conservation is to preserve the diversity of species and diversity of environments in which these species are located. Changes in the composition, species are occurring at a natural way, at present, however, are more pronounced, those human activities. Conservation of species diversity is necessary because maintaining the stability of ecosystems. For example, in times of natural crisis may help her prevent those organisms,whose influence on the functioning of the ecosystem was previously limited. Prevent the loss of species is difficult, efforts should however be directed towards reducing human intervention in natural environments. Species that arrived on their environment, should provide alternative shelter.
Carnivores in Europe and poisons
Europe's carnivores are at the top of the food pyramid. Are the first to affect the problems of their prey - loss of habitat, pollution and overexploitation of the environment. Are indicators of the state of our environment while motivating for us to rescue him. People have always competed with the beasts of prey, because predators hunt the cattle, and may even threaten us. Carnivores are important for herbivorous animals in the food chain,stands on top of the food pyramid, they act as regulator and guarantor of herbivores health of their populations, but are very susceptible to poisoning. Beast of poisoning may be deliberate.
