The reactions are mixed when you hear a caller saying that there is a bear in the home garden! It is sure to either run away or try to kill it without hesitation, in fact this is very natural due to the conflict between humans and wildlife from ancient times until the conflict between them turned into a global problem that needs radical solutions to ensure the conservation of species from extinction.
Conflict between man and wildlife
Many species of wild animals settle in close proximity to the human presence on this earth with relatively small habitats, which ultimately leads to a conflict between these animals and the human element; Where the conflict between humans and wildlife is evident in rural areas and forests as a result of the large presence of farmers there; Competition between humans and animals begins, and is manifested by a decrease in resources; All in all, the best way to fight for survival is in this situation to get rid of the conflict.
A new study indicates that the impact of humans on nature was much greater and lasted for a longer period than we ever imagined. The ancestors of humans who lived millions of years ago may have caused the start of extinction events even before our species evolved, where the regions of North Africa witnessed a decline in large mammals because of the first humans
Extinction rates began to increase about 4 million years ago, and this coincides with the era in which numbers of ancient humans lived in the region, as fossil evidence suggests.
The researchers studied the rates of extinction of large and small carnivores and how they relate to environmental changes such as precipitation and temperatures. They also examined changes in the brain size of human ancestors such as Australopithecus and Ardipithecus. Not associated with precipitation or thermal changes.
The best explanation for the extinction of carnivals in North Africa was its direct struggle for food with our ancestors, where researchers believe that human ancestors may have stolen newly killed prey by felid felines which deprived them of food, and according to their report published in the journal Ecology Letters, their findings indicate that the effect The intrinsic human to biodiversity has begun millions of years earlier than we thought.
An important report last year had warned about the presence of nearly a million species of animals and plants threatened with extinction in the coming decades, and a more recent study found that urban growth and deforestation for agriculture and the huge demand for fish significantly changed nearly three quarters of the land and more than two thirds of the oceans.
