Climate change is forcing people and even animals to change their residence or habitat, in order to have a better quality of life and prevent the consequences of the negative impact on the planet from falling on each of them. Therefore, there has been a small imbalance in the ecosystems that in the future could have quite serious consequences. One of the most recent is the situation in Russia, as there are dozens of polar bears that have invaded the streets of the country, in order to look for food, since many of them are malnourished due to the melting The ice has forced them to move to nearby communities to look for food. According to Rod Downie, polar expert at the World Wildlife Forum (WWF), sea ice is melting earlier this year and refreezing later. That's why they can't go out […] to hunt seals and they end up in the communities attracted by the smell of food and garbage.” For their part, animal behavior experts believe that the town of Ryrkaypiy, Russia, should be permanently evacuated, since climate change has caused food shortages and the arrival of polar bears is becoming more frequent.
This is because they feed on high-fat food, therefore, they are highly vulnerable to climate change due to their dependence on icy conditions to acquire their food. It is worth mentioning that when bears do not satisfy their needs, or when they have to travel very far to satisfy their appetite, they lose body condition, lose muscle mass, and in the case of females, their reproductive capabilities Nepal WhatsApp Number may fail. According to Tass Anatoly Kochnev, from the Northern Institute of Biological Problems, the inhabitants of the village should move, although efforts are being made to control the situation. And this region is warming more than twice as fast as the rest of the planet, according to a study carried out in 2013 in the journal Nature . The director of the Ryrkaypiy bear patrol program, Tatyana Minenko, noted that at least 56 polar bears of different ages arrived in the village, all with obvious signs of extreme thinness, and that if it were not for the unusually warm climate in the area, The animals could have gone out hunting. “If the ice were strong enough, the bears, or at least some of them, would have already gone to the sea, where they could hunt ,” Mikhail Stishov of WWF.
The inhabitants of that region are afraid to leave their homes and for that reason, the authorities are seeking to restore calm without hurting the animals. If this situation is not reversed, it is likely that by 2050, at least two-thirds of the global polar bear population could be eliminated.Latin America is the fourth region that produces the most electronic waste worldwide (6.6 kilos per person per year), well below Europe (15.6), Oceania (15.2), or North America (12.2) but well above Asia (3.7) and Africa (1.7). Brazil and Mexico are the countries responsible for the largest amount of electronic waste in Latin America. Brazil generates approximately 1,400 tons per year , Mexico 1,31 million tons , while in Argentina an approximate volume of 340 tons per year is estimated. According to Greenpeace, there is much to do. Half of electronic waste accumulates in private homes, offices or warehouses; Another percentage, estimated at 40%, is buried or ends up in landfills and only 10% enters formal or informal recycling circuits.
