However, it is almost beyond the bounds of possibility to conserve all of the species that had existed, and that are still existing in the world. Among the total number of 41,483 species found in Korea at the end of 2013, it is specified that 2,083 species require extraordinary attention for their conservation, which also means that they are endangered. It has been reported that the rate of animals being addressed endangered is keep increasing. There are few factors behind the consequence: Consumption of animals, jeopardy of wild animals, alien species, and genetically modified organisms.
Due to the traditional eating habits in Korea, some of the animals are in danger of extinction. To give a more unambiguous example, from the past, there …show more content…
Not only the consumption of animals done by humans, the food chain within the animals affected the endangerment as well. Destructive wild animals who are much more superior than others in terms of the strength started to consume a bunch of animals even the ones which are not even their designated preys. As the devouring went on, the diversity of the animals got decreased at the same time. In addition, the introduction and increasing number of alien species took a role in the decrease of biodiversity. It was estimated that 2,167 species including 333 plants and 1,834 animals were designated as invasive alien species through both natural and artificial ways at the end of 2013. By having the total number of 2,167 invasive …show more content…
Urbanization, the process, and state of being more popularized and urbanized agitate the natural habitats of animals and plants. Due to the fact that urbanizing the land means that the usage of land will increase with deforestation and air pollution, centralization brings an enormous traumatic dilemma in balancing natural environment and the gradual decrease of biodiversity. In Korea, within last twenty years of time, it was reported that 2.1% of forest, 15.9% of farm land, and 20.4% of wetland have decreased. By seeing this result, it can be stated that the rate of urbanization is indirectly proportional to the rate of destruction of natural habitat and biodiversity - As the land gets urbanized, the native habitats get destroyed. The growth in development of road has been increased as well as the result of centralization - this led the area of forest in Korea to be 6,369,000 ha in 2010 when it was 6,422,000 ha in 2000, as the road extension in Korea kept increased from 88.8 million kilometers in 2000 and it rose to 105.7 kilometers in
