The Coromandel Peninsula lies in the North Island of New Zealand. It is part of the Waikato Region and Thames-Coromandel District and extends 85 kilometres north from the western end of the Bay of Plenty, forming a natural barrier to protect the Hauraki Gulf and the Firth of Thames in the west from the Pacific Ocean to the east. At its broadest point, it is 40 kilometres wide. Almost the entire population lies on the narrow strips along the Hauraki Gulf and Bay of Plenty coasts. The country's biggest city, Auckland, lies on the far shore of the Hauraki Gulf, 55 kilometres to the west. The peninsula is clearly visible from the city in fine weather ...
A small but unexplained fish kill of snapper occurred near the Coromandel Peninsula on 4 January 2010. There has been speculation that the fish "were starving because of weather conditions", but the Ministry of Fisheries is conducting its own investigation.

A mass stranding of pilot whales in New Zealand resulted in the death of 125 animals, while 43 others were successfully coaxed back to sea. The whales were discovered beached on the shores over the weekend, and conservation workers, along with members of the public, responded to the incident.
The incident involved two separate pods of pilot whales, one on Farewell Spit in the South Island and another on the Coromandel Peninsula in the North Island, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. At Farewell Spit, authorities reported that most of the whales were already dead or too distressed to save, and had to be euthanized. The stranding on the Coromandel Peninsula involved 63 whales, with 21 dying and the rest successfully refloated, according to Project Jonah.
New Zealand experiences frequent whale strandings, with an average of 85 incidents annually, mostly involving single animals. The causes of these strandings are not fully understood, but the country's geography, with its long, gently sloping beaches, is thought to play a role. These beaches can confuse whales, who rely on echolocation to navigate, causing them to become trapped in shallow waters.

Der Artikel von Vegan.eu (der nicht direkt verlinkt ist) bezieht sich auf die enormen Mengen an Fischen, die jedes Jahr durch menschliche Aktivitäten getötet werden. Es wird geschätzt, dass weit mehr als 1000 Milliarden Fische jährlich getötet werden, hauptsächlich durch Fischfang und Aquakultur.
Details:
Überfischung:
Die kommerzielle Fischerei ist ein Hauptgrund für die hohe Sterblichkeit von Fischen. Schätzungen zufolge werden jährlich zwischen 790 Milliarden und 2,3 Billionen einzelne Fische gefangen.
Aquakultur:
Auch die Fischzucht, bekannt als Aquakultur, trägt erheblich zur Anzahl der getöteten Fische bei. Im Jahr 2022 übertraf die Produktionsmenge aus Aquakultur erstmals die aus der Fischerei.
Vergleich mit Landtieren:
Im Vergleich zu den geschlachteten Landtieren (etwa 77 Milliarden pro Jahr) sind die getöteten Fische eine deutlich größere Anzahl.
Nachhaltigkeit:
Die Überfischung und die Praktiken in der Aquakultur werden von Umweltschutzorganisationen wie WWF kritisiert, da sie zu einer Erschöpfung der Meeresökosysteme und Umweltproblemen führen können.

Since around the year 2000, the study and awareness of flora and fauna have continued to be important, with a particular focus on the impacts of human activities like habitat loss, pollution, and climate change. Research has highlighted the importance of conservation efforts, particularly in areas like the Wadden Sea ecosystem, where significant changes in flora and fauna have been observed.
Here's a more detailed look:
Focus on Impacts:
Habitat Loss and Degradation:
Intensive human activities have led to habitat loss, affecting both plant and animal life.
Pollution:
Pollution, including eutrophication, has negatively impacted ecosystems and their inhabitants.
Climate Change:
Rising temperatures and changing weather patterns are altering habitats and affecting species distribution, leading to potential migration, population declines, or even extinctions.
Invasive Species:
Non-native species can outcompete and displace native flora and fauna, causing significant ecological disruption.
Overexploitation:
Historically, overhunting and overfishing have severely impacted many species, and these pressures continue to be a concern in some areas.
Examples and Case Studies:
Wadden Sea:
The Wadden Sea ecosystem has experienced significant changes in its flora and fauna due to human activities like overexploitation, pollution, and habitat loss. Conservation efforts are underway to try to reverse some of these negative trends.
Coastal Birds:
Coastal bird populations have been particularly affected by hunting, habitat loss, and pollution. While some species have recovered due to conservation efforts, others continue to decline.
India:
India is known for its rich biodiversity, with a wide array of flora and fauna. Research and conservation efforts focus on protecting its diverse ecosystems.
Brazil:
Brazil is recognized for having the greatest biodiversity of flora and fauna on Earth, with a high number of species of mammals, freshwater fish, and plants.
General Trends:
Conservation Efforts:
There is a growing awareness of the need for conservation and restoration efforts to protect biodiversity.
Ecosystem-based Management:
There is an increasing focus on managing ecosystems in a way that considers the interconnectedness of all living things and their environment.
Importance of Biodiversity:
Research continues to highlight the importance of biodiversity for healthy ecosystems and human well-being.
Long-term Perspectives:
Studying the history of ecosystems, like the Wadden Sea, provides valuable insights into ecological change and can inform future conservation strategies.
In summary, the study of flora and fauna since 2000 has emphasized the impact of human activities on the natural world and the need for continued conservation efforts to protect biodiversity and ensure the health of ecosystems.
