Animal protection in our country. Animal protection is the responsibility of every person. We must love and care for animals.

Man's furry and feathered friends cannot always survive in the wild without help. It is our direct responsibility to protect and care for them.

Everything that is done for the sake of animals and their welfare is worth it!

However, it is very easy to become a wildlife rescuer if you have the financial means. But what about those who have limited resources? Uli Sharboni from Bogor, Indonesia, has proven that even if you don't have money, you can do incredible good. When a cat in his neighborhood needed help, he began looking for “angels” - and soon found them!

One day, Uli noticed MURlyka on the street in his village, who had been hit by a car, and he decided to help her. The man rode a scooter for three hours through a winding hillside to get the injured animal to the vet.

However, he heard bad news from the doctor. The cat's injuries were too severe and treatment was prohibitively expensive. According to the veterinarian, the purr had practically no chance of survival.

But Uli was not going to give up!

At that point, all the man could do was feed the cats and look after them. But among the homeless there were seriously ill and wounded people. They required specialized care that Uli could not provide.

Then he decided to attract people's attention using the Internet. Uli's pleas touched the hearts of people in Germany, Great Britain and the United States. Thanks to their generosity, Uli was able to pay for the cat's surgery, and then begin treating other furbabies!

As a result, many animals from his village received medical care, and some were even sterilized. The man called noble people “angels.”

Uli says he is inspired by the experiences passed down to him by his grandparents. The man's ancestors always showed incredible kindness towards stray cats and other animals.

“There is no one else in my area to help them. Their lives depend on us. I feel very sorry for them because they have no choice,” Uli said in an interview.

“Angels” helped the man a lot, because he is the father of five children and works three jobs. Helping animals took up a lot of his time, so he needed support.

The first to respond to the cry for help was Kristen Connelly, who lived in Oxanard, California. She accidentally came across Uli's Facebook page.

“He has such an amazing interest in cats. I thought, I really need to help this person,” Kristen said. She sent Uli a friend request on Facebook and asked how she could support him.

Then Kristen contacted Daniel Langer, Trish Delahaye and Cher Callaway - all of them are big animal lovers, and the girl hoped for their assistance.

“The four of us decided that we would do everything possible for Uli,” Kristen said. They started a website called “GoFundMe” and soon raised enough money to support animals in Bogor.

“Once he had a financial footing, he no longer had to feed the cats scraps on the streets or at the local market. Now he had the opportunity to build a whole shelter for cats,” commented Kristen.

Fortunately, Uli had experience in construction - he had already built a school in the village. Using materials that he found in local landfills, the man built a real “cat city” with multi-story houses!

The animal shelter has become a place of hope for the hungry, sick and otherwise suffering MURLYK throughout the village. “His neighbors no longer throw their cats into the street or landfill; they bring them to him,” Kristen continued.

Soon local volunteers were found who began to help Uli, although he did not ask them or pay any money. The man became an example for others and showed what it means to truly love animals.

It is truly amazing to see how Uli cares for stray cats. I can’t even believe that he managed to get incredible support from people who live far beyond Indonesia!

Every year there are fewer and fewer wild animals on our planet. And this is not difficult to understand: the world population is increasing, and the more people there are, the less space there is for animals to live.

Some may think that animals are disappearing only because people hunt them. However, without rational and deliberate hunting, which regulates the number of birds and animals, it is unlikely that roe deer, deer, and saigas would exist today. Many animal species are disappearing due to the indirect influence of humans on their lives. The fact is that man unwittingly takes away from his “smaller brothers” the natural habitats of animals, their feeding areas. The number of animals is negatively affected by deforestation, plowing of steppes, development of deserts, drainage of swamps, clogging of rivers with industrial waste, pollution of the seas and atmosphere. These actions exterminate animals as quickly as with guns, poison, or traps.

Why is it necessary to preserve wild, especially rare and endangered animals? Perhaps many people do not think about this question. But even if they think about it, they quickly find the answer: if there are so few animals of a certain species, then they apparently do not have any significance in nature, so even after their disappearance, life on Earth will not stop. After all, history knows many such examples. However, those who think so are deeply mistaken. The famous English scientist J. Darrell rightly speaks about people’s attitude towards living nature: “Our world is as complex and as easily vulnerable as a spider’s web. Touch a single web, and all the others will tremble. And we don’t just touch the web, we leave gaping holes in it, we wage, one might say, a biological battle against the environment.” The fact is that the fauna of our planet is not a random accumulation of different species of animals, but a single, consistently functioning system, and the loss of any link, even the most insignificant at first glance, leads to serious changes. This is why it is important to preserve every animal species. Each species is unique, interesting and necessary for nature and man.

Wild animals, especially rare and endangered species, deserve close attention and careful treatment. This is precisely the part of the organic world that is most vulnerable, and its loss is not only quite real, but can also happen in a very short time. That is why the conservation of rare and endangered species of animals, and also, of course, plants is considered in the Russian Federation as a task of paramount importance.

To preserve the wealth of living nature and even increase it, man has to do a lot. The Government of the Russian Federation has been concerned about the protection and reproduction of wildlife since the first days of its power. On June 25, 1980, the Russian Federation Law on the Protection and Use of Wildlife was adopted. The law addresses a range of issues related to the care of wild animals. The basic requirements for the protection and rational use of wildlife have been established, the types of use of animals have been determined, in particular hunting, fishing and others.

Registration of rare and endangered animal species in the Russian Federation, as in many other countries, is carried out in the form of special lists called Red Books. The International Red Book is responsible for keeping records of rare animal species in the world.

The Red Book of the Russian Federation is a state scientific document covering a system of measures for the conservation of rare species. In addition to the Union Red Book, we have also created republican ones.

In our country, a lot of work is being done to enrich and protect nature, and the success of this largely depends on each of us.

Thanks to the measures taken in the Soviet Union to protect wild animals, tangible results have already been achieved. The number of deer, elk, wild boar and other game animals has increased almost everywhere. Many valuable animals (for example, sable, saiga), once on the verge of extinction, have now multiplied so much that they have become objects of constant hunting. Measures to save the bison and kulan were also successful.

Improving the protection of flora and fauna continues, and there is a lot of work in this matter. After all, the number of some species of animals in some places is still decreasing. First of all, this applies to the otter, muskrat, European mink, badger, marmot, and ermine. The leopard, Amur tiger, goral and some others have survived in catastrophically small numbers.

When starting to protect an endangered species, it is first necessary to thoroughly understand its biology. One of the most effective forms of animal protection is the creation of nature reserves and sanctuaries. On the territory of the Russian Federation there are more than 150 nature reserves (with a total area of 13 million hectares), more than 1000 nature reserves and several national parks. Almost only in the territory of our reserves it was possible to preserve such animals as the Amur tiger, goral, kulan, saiga, Bukhara and sika deer. Zoos, especially the Moscow Zoo, provide considerable assistance in breeding rare and endangered animals.

How to preserve wild, especially rare and endangered animals? Scientists in many countries around the world are solving this problem. But in our country, the cause of nature conservation is given special importance. The Constitution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (Article 67) states: “Citizens of the Russian Federation are obliged to protect nature and preserve its wealth.”

How should we all practically fulfill the responsibilities specified by the state to protect our native nature? First of all, every person should know what animals live where he lives. Which ones are rare, dangerous, harmless, useful? Why is it necessary to stop the actions of a person who destroys the nest of a feathered predator, stirs up an anthill with a stick, or throws a stone at a “nasty” toad? Living objects of nature must be treated in a special way: with care, as if you were treating your own life.

While in nature, you need to treat everything around you carefully and carefully. You cannot collect collections of mollusks, beetles, butterflies and other animals. Gathering, even without malicious intent, can cause significant harm to nature. Any amateur activity in the use of the animal world is illegal and cannot be tolerated. Wildlife should be inviolable for everyone. Observe, photograph, listen, admire, but do not touch or catch.

The famous Soviet zoologist Vladimir Evgenievich Flint rightly remarks on this matter: “The day when moral responsibility for every endangered species becomes obvious to every citizen of the Soviet Union and when these species are known to everyone can be considered the milestone after which success in the fight to save rare species can be guaranteed."

There is a lot of environmental work, but there is no doubt that the joint efforts of all citizens of our country will ensure success.

The fauna is one of the main components of the natural environment, an important part of the natural resources of our Motherland. It serves as a source for industrial and medicinal raw materials, food products and other material assets necessary to meet the needs of the population and national economy of our country. In addition, the animal world is used for scientific, cultural, educational and aesthetic purposes.

The Constitution of the Russian Federation provides that in the interests of present and future generations in the Russian Federation, measures are taken for the protection and scientifically based, rational use of wildlife. These measures are carried out in accordance with state plans for the economic and social development of the country with the active participation of state and public organizations, as well as citizens.

Essay: Should we take care of animals?

Animals are the most beautiful creatures in the world.
They bring great joy to a person. When we get an animal, it becomes a member of the family for us. We feed, care and heal them. When playing with animals, we laugh, rejoice and forget about some problems. We need animals so that in difficult times we can cuddle and tell everything if there are no loved ones nearby. We need them to make us smile more often.

In nature, everything is interconnected. Man and animal are children of the same mother - nature. They often help each other. Animals feel care, affection and respond in kind to their owner.
The dog is the first domestic animal to appear near humans since ancient times. She helps protect the house, livestock...
During the Great Patriotic War, in field hospitals there were ambulance dogs that found the wounded, helping them survive: they had a medical bag on their back and with the help of it the wounded soldiers survived. And how many dogs died from fascist bullets!
Rescue dogs perform a grateful service, searching for people under concrete rubble and rescuing drowning people from the water.
The Ministry of Emergency Situations has specially trained dogs that find people under landslides after an earthquake. Dogs have been rescued more than once during fires. And how wonderful border dogs are! They understand the owner instantly.
There are also many guide dogs. Their abilities are simply amazing. Even if you decide to move and buy real estate in Bulgaria at a favorable price, they will easily help you not to get lost in a new city for you, and will always find the way to your new home.
For thousands of years, the dog has deservedly enjoyed the reputation of man's best friend and helper. At all times and in all countries they praised her for her loyalty and devotion to man.
And how loyal horses are! How they become attached to a person, they understand him at a glance! Whoever tame them is their master. During the war they saved a lot of people. Kazbich (“Hero of Our Time” by Lermontov) told Azamat how Karagyoz helped him out of trouble many times. For him, his horse is better than his friend, his wife. He will never betray his owner.
Animals are our friends. You need to take care of them, and they will thank you with their loyalty. Man erected monuments to many of them. A monument to a dog was erected near St. Petersburg, on which are carved the words of Academician Pavlov about the merits of this animal to science.

Animals allow the entire ecosystem of the planet to be in balance.
From early childhood I adored various pets, in particular cats and dogs. I often remember with a smile how I played with my grandfather’s puppy, how I took care of my kitten (who has now grown into a huge and respectable cat). I really enjoyed the process of interacting with pets, and to be honest, I still get irreplaceable pleasure from it.
I, I think like many other people who constantly interact with animals, have a question: Why is it so good for us if we are caregivers of pets? What gives us such pleasure when communicating with them? And, in the end, is there any practical benefit from this?
To answer this question, it is necessary to look at the history of the domestication of wild animals by humans. That is, to find out the reasons and methods of domesticating forest steppe mountain animals in order to turn them into submissive and affectionate animals.

The first animals to become domesticated were dogs. More precisely, not dogs, as such, but wolves. How did it happen that carnivorous animals were not afraid to join Homo sapiens? There is a theory that packs of wolves deliberately settled near humans because they received most of their diet from the remains of human food. For humans, such proximity also turned out to be useful, because wolves scared away other predators and warned of the approach of enemies. A kind of symbiosis between a group of people and a pack of wolves. Like, we give you food, you give us protection. And this system worked. Over time, the wolves began to change, they became more playful, they learned to bark, and great physiological changes also occurred. In the last few centuries, people began to carry out artificial selection in order to breed certain breeds of dogs for specific economic and social needs... This is how bulldogs, Russian greyhounds, Doberman pins, German shepherds and so on down the list appeared.

It must be said that a similar story happened with cats. Initially, they settled near warehouses and barns, because these places were most attractive to all kinds of mice and rats, which they, in fact, hunted. By the way, I’ll add that in those days (and even now), mice, eating food supplies, caused enormous economic damage to the entire state. It would be logical to assume that people in those days, having appreciated the potential of cats as protectors against rodent pests, began to specifically feed them in order to attract more cats to warehouses and homes. And then, as they say, off we go.... Now there are over 100 breeds of domestic cats (plus various crossbreeds) all over the world.

In addition to their economic role, pets also play a very important social role (I agree, I chose a bad adjective). I think everyone has heard the saying that a dog is a man's best friend. Apparently, this is the case. As I mentioned above, dogs descended from wolves, and wolves, in turn, are group animals, with a very developed system of relationships in their pack. So, these qualities also went to dogs. Dogs are generally wonderful animals. They enjoy spending time with people and enjoy playing with children (and more). They love and respect their owner. Moreover, dogs are able to sense human emotions. They are able to empathize with people. They can care about a person, worry about him. If a dog is afraid of water, then he will certainly do everything possible to prevent a person from getting into this water (from my personal experience, I know when my grandfather’s dog tried in every possible way to block our way to the river at the dacha when we went for a swim, because it itself is terrified of this river was afraid. Interestingly, she still overcame her fear when she saw that someone was swimming very far away. She gave chase, overtook, blocked the path and with all her actions tried to force the person to swim back to the shore).

No matter how much a person stands out for his intellect, achievements and feelings, he is just one of the representatives of the animal world. Thus, a person is simply obliged to help other representatives of this planet.

Another reason why a person should preserve and protect animals is his activity. Science knows a lot of examples when one or another species of flora and fauna disappeared due to unreasonable human actions. Modern people are too busy with themselves, with achieving their goals, that they do not consider it necessary to pay attention to the state of vegetation and the problems of animals. But the state of the environment is not worth mentioning, since every person is dissatisfied with the quality of water and air. However, few people are trying to change this state of affairs for the better. The result is a vicious circle: people continue to develop industrial production, pollute the environment, but at the same time, talk about the unfavorable environmental situation.

Today, it is possible to compile a huge list of species of vegetation and animals that have disappeared forever from the face of the earth. Now we are moving towards the loss of many natural resources.

Based on this more than deplorable situation, the conclusion suggests itself that global measures are needed to solve environmental problems. We are talking about a single law that would regulate the rights of animals and establish liability for their violation, the same in any country in the world.

Today there are many agreements and treaties that partially regulate this issue. And although, thanks to these documents, it was possible to preserve some species of endangered fauna, on a global scale this does not solve all problems.

As scientists note, humanity is not yet fully familiar with the entire complex structure of the ecosystem. And the main problem is that with the disappearance of any species, humanity will never know all the interactions of the ecological chain.

Today, it is known that the biodiversity of our planet is too great. And each species plays its own specific role. Therefore, one species cannot be destroyed to preserve another. Surely nature will not forgive this.

But humanity can still save itself, the world around us and all representatives of the animal and plant world. If he begins to act harmoniously and wisely now, not destroying, but increasing the gifts of the planet.
