    [ Focus on Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] Recently, the World Conservation Union (IUCN) has updated the Red List of Endangered Species
    .
    Among the 138,374 species assessed by IUCN, 38,543 are threatened with extinction, and these technologies are used to help protect endangered species
    .

     
    Chemical machinery and equipment network hotspots pay attention to chemical machinery and equipment
    On September 4, the 7th World Conservation Conference was held in Marseille, France, and the World Conservation Union updated the "Red List of Endangered Species"
    .

     

    Data show that the current "Red List" assesses 138,374 species, of which 38,543 species "are facing varying degrees of extinction risk", accounting for nearly 28%
    .

     

    37% of sharks and rays are threatened
    .
    These populations are all facing the problem of overfishing, and some populations are also affected by habitat loss and destruction and climate change
    .
    At the same time, the Komodo dragon, which only lives in Indonesia, has also risen from the “vulnerable” level to the “endangered” level due to the threat of climate change
    .

     

    According to reports, among the endangered species, there are rhinos, white rhinos, and black rhinos.
    These large species have lost many habitats and they are the victims of poaching
    .
    In addition, the giraffe was not threatened a few years ago, but it may become extinct silently in the future
    .
    Everyone is responsible for caring for nature, and instruments and meters are also helping to protect
    .

     
    Instrumentation
      It is reported that in order to protect endangered species, China has built a number of animal epidemic source disease monitoring stations, expanded and improved the number of monitoring stations and monitoring coverage, using monitoring equipment to understand the real-time dynamics of wild animals, and protection efforts have been significantly enhanced
    .
    In addition, the use of image data processing technology, combined with molecular biology technology, lays a good foundation for protection and management measures
    .

     
    Monitoring instrument
      Secondly, microorganisms are usually small in size, which is difficult to observe with the naked eye or to monitor with instruments in the field, and most microorganisms cannot be isolated and cultivated at present
    .
    Therefore, the monitoring of microbial diversity depends on the development and application of new methods such as high-throughput sequencing, DNA barcode technology, and bioinformatics
    .

     

      Furthermore, the use of sensors can display the spatial distribution of auxins in plant cells in real time, and quickly detect the impact of environmental changes on plant growth
    .
    Carry out investigations, observations and protections, find out the background of biodiversity, grasp dynamic trends, and increase the protection of endangered species
    .

     

      Finally, the gradual progress of conservation work has been aided by AI technology in recent years, such as the introduction of the wild animal AI identification system, which provides effective technical means for wildlife conservation and species identification
    .
    Wildlife protection is related to the ecological balance of the human homeland and is of great significance
    .
    In the face of a complex, ever-changing and dangerous natural environment, the use of technology to help safety and scientific research has also become significant
    .
