Endangered Animals: Black Rhino 🐃

Black Rhinos are in danger!

On the earth, there are so many endangered species which can become extinct in a few years. Among these animals, black rhinos are the animals which are critically endangered.

Black rhinos, which are scientifically called Diceros bicornis, are the species of rhinoceros which live in southern and eastern Africa. They usually inhabit semi-desert Savannah, woodlands, forests, and wetlands. They have hooked upper lips while white rhinos have square lips. Also, they have two horns which are used to help them to consume leaves from bushes and trees. 


Surprisingly, their population is only about 5,600 on the earth. Before the 20th century, the population was not as low as it is now. However, because many Europeans settled in Africa and hunted many black rhinos, the number of black rhinos started to decline. Even though people tried to conserve the species of black rhinos and the number of the species increased up to around 5,600, black rhinos are classified as critically endangered species in the world.


There are several reasons for the decline in the population of black rhinos. First reason that the population of black rhinos has been declining is because people like hunters poached for rhino horns. This poaching happened usually in Kenya and Tanzania. Even, because these days the demand for rhino horns is increasing, the degree of being endangered has increased. Another reason for the declining population of black rhinos is loss of habitat where black rhinos live. Because of human activities like agriculture, settlements, and infrastructure, they led to the loss of habitat of black rhinos.


Because of these reasons, we have to be aware of the fact that there are so many endangered animals that suffer from human activities. So we have to reduce harmful human activities.

Renewable Age 🌊

     Our natural resources are limited in the world, and they cannot be reproduced. Then where do we use coal energy in our real lives? Coal is a kind of rock with black surface which contains a high amount of carbon and hydrocarbons. Usually coal is found under the surface of the ground or the very deep soil layers of ocean. We usually use coal when we use electricity and drive the car. There are so many examples in our real lives to use coal, and even we can’t know or remember all the situations that we use it.      However, unlike natural resources, renewable energy is not limited as we can produce them by using material from nature such as sunlight, wind, water, ocean, bioenergy and so on. There are a few types of renewable energy. Solar energy Wind energy Hydro energy Tidal energy Geothermal energy Biomass energy Each picture shows the devices that help creation of each energy type, from solar energy to biomass energy in the order. 🌉🌊🌊🌊 (from Googl...

The Navdanya Movement 🌱

  Hyewon Lee Topic: The Navdanya Movement Date: 2021/12/09 The Navdanya movement was initiated in India to protect biodiversity and to promote the seed-saving movement around the world. It was founded by woman environmentalist Dr. Vandana Shiva as she wanted to guarantee seed freedom and food sovereignty for small farmers. This movement has progressed for about 30 years and was first initiated due to the sudden outbreak of the GMO crisis, which involves various health issues such as toxicity and allergenicity. The goal of the Navdanya movement is to ensure a new society in which economic justice and ecological responsibilities exist among consumers and farmers. Arising from this movement, Navdanya International was established in Italy in 2011 to demonstrate such qualities at an international level. One of its promotions refers to the Global Movement for Seed Freedom, which was launched to create unity among diverse organizations that have shown interest in saving seeds. As a matte...
