In
listing the top most threatened species for 2010, World Wildlife Fund
(WWF) experts in Scotland, United Kingdom have included some well-known
animals such as polar bears, butterflies and tigers but have also now
added the Pacific walrus, the giant panda and the blue-fin tuna.
All
of these species are at greater risk than before due to climate change
and related deforestation as well as illegal hunting. With Scotland
having declared an ambitious 42% emissions reduction goal for 2020, WWF
Scotland Director Dr. Richard Dixon said, “We have a window of
opportunity in which to step up and pull back some of the world’s most
splendid animals from the brink of extinction.”
He went on to
encourage more actions that do not wait for global climate agreements,
saying that local governments can work toward green goals that also
create jobs and improve lives.Many thanks, Dr. Dixon, World Wildlife
Fund Scotland and the Scottish government for your endeavors to both
inform and mitigate human-caused environmental damage.
May
leaders at all levels heed the call to preserve these precious beings so
that they may continue to grace our Earth with their presence. In her
ongoing concern for the welfare of all beings, Supreme Master Ching Hai
once again addressed the imperiled situation of our animal
co-inhabitants during an August 2008 videoconference with our Canadian
Association members.
Supreme Master Ching Hai : They
are trying their best to sound the warning bell, warning by disease,
and even death en masse, but I don’t know how many of us are listening.
They are trying to help us, but we are trying to kill them. It’s a very
sad affair. We humans have to do everything we can, not waiting for the
animals. They are already dying, dying, dying. Numerous are dying every
day.
So many other signs in nature, so many animal signs, but we have to listen. It’s not the animals. It’s us.
We just have to remind everybody to be veg and to be kind to the animals. That's the only way we can protect them.
