然而而某些動動植物種種的商業業開發利利用和貿貿易依舊舊十分猖猖獗，已已經導致致某些物物種數量量的衰竭竭，有些些甚至瀕瀕臨滅絕絕。其其它野生生動植物物種需要要受到保保護，確確保其未未來的存存續。根根據聯聯合國環環境規劃劃署國際際保護監監測中心心統計，，全球有有520種瀕危危和極危危哺乳動動物，503種種瀕危和和極危鳥鳥類，70種種瀕危和和極危爬爬行動物物和63種瀕危危和極危危兩棲動動物。國際自然然保護聯聯盟（IUCN）報告告顯示632種種非洲兩兩棲動物物中約有有28%“瀕于于滅絕””。聯合國環環境規劃劃署報告告顯示4,000多種種哺乳動動物中有有1,130種種、而10,000多多種鳥類類中有1,183種屬屬于漸危危物種。。美國自然然歷史博博物館館館長MichaelNovacek博士士表示聯聯合國的的數據同同根據土土地喪失失和海洋洋破壞程程度所反反映的是是一致的的，“大大約有30%的的物種可可能在本本世紀中中期滅絕絕。”全球共有有高達5,428種動動物––從昆昆蟲、貝貝類到大大猩猩和和大象——全都面面臨威脅脅。而造成物物種瀕危危的原因因是人類類活動，，例如非非法盜獵獵、過度度開發、、污染、、溫室效效應、棲棲息地毀毀損等。。但同同時人類類也有能能力保護護這些物物種，確確保全球球動植物物的生存存。保保護瀕瀕危物種種的最重重要原因因不僅僅僅因為它它們可以以給我們們的生活活帶來更更多樂趣趣，更因因為世間間萬物都都以復雜雜的方式式緊密聯聯系。在在物種種徹底消消失之前前，物種種的喪失失已經削削弱了這這種聯系系。某某一種動動物數量量的大幅幅度降低低或是生生物多樣樣性水平平的下降降都是整整個生態態系統支支撐能力力下降的的標志。。當動植物物滅絕，，我們地地球環境境結構改改變，人人類也面面臨極大大威脅。。人類的生生存和這這個世界界豐富多多樣的生生物息息息相關。。IFAW致致力于保保護生物物多樣性性。我我們在CITES的工工作僅僅僅是我們們為保護護全球動動物存續續的方式式之一。。IFAW認認為CITES是用于于保護某某些物種種不受國國際貿易易潛在負負面影響響的一種種重要方方式。今今年的的CITES會會議我們們關注的的焦點將將是亞洲洲象、非非洲象、、鯨、姥姥鯊、大大白鯊、、玳瑁龜龜和傳統統醫藥問問題（其其中涉及及海馬和和淡水龜龜）。IFAW在CITES的工工作是我我們為了了有效保保護全球球物種，，而將地地區合作作項目、、科學、、法律和和公眾教教育相結結合的獨獨特方式式。*來來源：國國際刑警警組織第第一次會會議：““野生動動物盜獵獵”（2003年10月13日）CITES如何何工作CITES2004：：堅決打打擊非法法野生動動物貿易易常見問題題解答致力于保保護野生生動物2002年CITES智利會會議成果果發送E-card！5.Mismanagement---Somenativewildlifecanbecomeaproblemwhenreleasedfromtheirnaturalpopulationcontrols.Whenwolvesarescarceandhunterstoofew,white-taileddeerwilloftenstripthewoodsofnativewildflowers(suchasTrilliums)andevencertaintreespecies(suchasHemlock),whentheirpopulationsareallowedtobecometoohigh.Canadageesearebeautifulbirds,butwhencityfolkfeednativegeeseasiftheywerepets,theirpopulationscanrisetouncomfortablelevelsinurbanareas,resultinginpollutedwaterwaysandmanure-ladenlawns.Gullscanbecomesimilarproblems,whentheyscavangeforscrapsfromourgarbageheapsandlandfills.HowYouCan1.LiveintheCity---Manyofusyearntoliveinthecountry,sowecanbeclosertonatureandenjoy2.SupportStrictZoning---Landusezoningisoneofthefewtoolsavailabletothegovernmenttoprotectwetlands,naturalareasandenvironmentalcorridors.Unfortunately,suchzoningisoftenopposedbypowerfullanddevelopmentorpoliticalforces.
