Significance: 1. Maintain ecological balance. Wild animals are products of nature, and nature is composed of many complex ecosystems.

If a plant disappears, the insects that feed on it will disappear.

If a certain insect is gone, the birds that prey on it will starve to death, and the death of the birds will have an impact on other animals.

This is also caused by the food chain.

Therefore, large-scale wildlife destruction will cause a series of chain reactions and produce serious consequences.

2. Ensure the normal development of scientific research and educational activities. It can be used as experimental materials for scientific research and plays an important role in zoology, evolution, ecology, genetics, modern medicine, bionics and other disciplines.

Scientific research institutes, colleges and universities, zoos and museums collect, display or exhibit specimens of endangered animals, which play an important role in scientific research and teaching, publicity and education, law enforcement activities, etc.

3. Ornamental value: Some animals have high ornamental value. They are the trump card for attracting tourists in zoos, forest parks, nature reserves or scenic spots. They are the protagonists of circus performances. They are also bred and viewed by some families or used by many literati to recite poems and paint.

Main object.

Exhibiting and cooperating in research on a pair of giant pandas abroad can raise at least 8 million yuan for the country's giant panda conservation fund every year.

4. Potential development value: Human beings only know a very small part of the value of species.

With the development of science and technology, the potential value of each species will be gradually discovered and recognized.

But if the species becomes extinct before it is recognized by people, there is no room for development and utilization of these values.

Undoubtedly, this is a great regret for us humans and a great loss for biodiversity conservation.

5. Food and clothing value: Our ancestors relied on collecting or hunting wild animals and plants to make a living in the era of "eating hair and drinking blood".

Even in the 20th century, many animals are still common ingredients in our lives for food or clothing.

Such as venison, yellow mutton, sable skin, weasel skin, leopard cat skin, otter skin, Tibetan antelope cashmere, bird's nest, flying dragon, crocodile meat, crocodile skin, ostrich meat, dried snake, snake skin, snake powder, etc.
