The Egyptian tortoise
The Egyptian tortoise is a small animal with a very beautiful appearance. Their bright brown backs look like fresh and clean soil, and they are so small that many people buy them back as pets. Naturally, I bought it from an illegal animal dealer, because this small item is a protected and precious animal.
The principle of precious animals is that, regardless of the price of other aspects of this animal, the first point is that their number must have been very small. So few that great efforts must be made to protect them, otherwise, they will become extinct.
The Egyptian tortoise is indeed close to extinction, because on the one hand, the illegal animal market is wildly catching them to make huge profits; on the other hand, the local people The territory of the Egyptian tortoise is gradually being devoured, leaving them with no place to live, enough food to eat, and no place to breed their young.
In the wilderness, on the edge of the desert, if you are lucky enough to see an Egyptian tortoise, you often see it struggling to crawl into a bunch of small bushes and bite it. Stand on a branch and try your best to suck out the little sap inside.
In 1996, the government realized that they had to protect this cute little creature and enacted legislation to ban the capture and trade of Egyptian tortoises. However, With so many and so cunning underground illegal markets, how can legislation alone be able to stop them?
In fact, as early as 1994, biologists pointed out in a report that the wild Egyptian tortoises were almost extinct, and the remaining ones were all They are kept as pets in other people's homes or sold abroad. Therefore, from now on, the government has decided to take a step further than legislation, which is to artificially breed them and then release them back to nature. I hope this will be an efficient job.
