Forest elephants have been lost due to various factors. According to the iucn, african savanna elephants have declined by 60% in the last 50 years. Today, only a total of 415,000 of both species remain on the continent. The largest populations of the forest elephant can be found in gabon and the democratic republic of the congo and currently occupy a quarter of the territory, however, this has been possible due to the measures that have been established against poaching , the conservation efforts and above all the reconversion of the habitats of these species . For its part, the savannah elephant lives in the kavango-zambezi transfrontier conservation ar WhatsApp Number List ea (convergence area of five countries in southern africa) where the largest subpopulation of these elephants resides. While african elephants have been declining, the assessment also found that quick, positive action could be helpful in restoring their populations. If elephants are protected and given a chance to rejuvenate, their populations can recover. For example, tsavo national park in kenya has seen an increase in its elephant population, from 6,500 in 1988 to about 17,000 today.Marine life is not only comprised of the animal species that we know best or that are most common, it also includes species of plants and other organisms. Many people, given that they cannot live together, observe or know what the behavior of marine species is like , believe that everything that happens in marine habitats is fine and the external does not affect it, but the opposite is true.
For this reason, the united kingdom government has developed an ocean monitoring system to be able to know the changes to which all species are subjected, their evolution, reproduction and document what happened. The uk government, under the blue belt programme, has announced its plan to install underwater camera equipment to monitor ocean wildlife in its overseas territories. The entire project will be funded by the uk, making it the largest ocean monitoring system in the world. The blue belt program covers more than 4 million square kilometers of ocean space, which the uk government has committed to protecting. Today, only 7.65% of the oceans are classified as protected areas. Unfortunately, most projects aiming to protect ocean wildlife only focus on major landmarks. According to jessica meeuwig, a professor at the university of western australia and co-creator of blue abacus, the project shifts attention from major landmarks to other areas of the ocean. Blue abacus is a partner on the project and helped develop the technology known as baited remote underwater video systems (bruvs), which will be used to monitor marine life. Baited remote underwater video stations are used to study fish size, abundance and diversity, complementing quantitative transect methods using diving, rov and auv.
The method of using bruvs is a standardized method with the advantages of: sampling at greater depths and for longer periods of time than diver surveys; efficient study of low-density populations, particularly predatory and scavenger species; sampling of species that are shy to dive; and precise and accurate measurement of fish size. Bruvs systems use high definition digital video cameras that record to the hard drive. The ocean monitoring system will be able to show the changes that occur in marine life meeuwig explained that most people assume ocean wildlife is fine just because they can't see what's happening. By installing a network of underwater cameras, she noted it will help document changes occurring in ocean wildlife. A study conducted in january revealed that the population of sharks and rays has declined by 71% since the 1970s. The main causes of the population decline have been identified as overfishing and climate change. Other studies have also raised alarm about the decline of species such as yellowfin and bluefin tuna. More and more research shows the need to protect our oceans. “the marine wildlife that lives along the coasts of our overseas territories is some of the most spectacular in the world and we must do more to protect it,” said uk prime minister boris johnson. “cutting-edge technology, like these cameras, will be vital in our crusade against climate change. “our marine experts are world leaders in protecting our ocean and the many species that live in it.” uk environment minister lord goldsmith said the uk is committed to tackling global challenges such as ocean biodiversity loss and climate change, among others. He continued: "These uk-funded underwater video cameras will provide a wealth of information about biodiversity in the seas around the overseas territories, including globally threatened shark and migratory fish species such as bluefin tuna. ». These technological projects that promote marine conservation will definitely clarify not only the current situation of the species but also the growing negative impact that humans have had on the ocean. However, it is expected that from this information it will be possible to help mitigate damage and address major problems.
