The only planet that supports life in the universe is our
planet, the earth. An important aspect of this planet is the
existence of the rich variety of natural resources like soil, water,
forests and wildlife. These are valuable resources which need
to be protected in order to maintain the ecological balance
in nature. On the contrary, human beings are overusing these
resources, which has led to several harmful effects on the
environment. The ecological balance between living things is

under threat. It is a matter of great concern as all creatures
are dependent on each other. If a species of animal becomes
extinct, this would in turn lead to chains of extinction.
A biological explanation with regard to “chains of extinction”
refers to species of animals that are linked with each other and
are becoming extinct. When no single member of species is left
to create young ones of its own kind, extinction becomes
certain. Here's an example to show how all creatures are related
to each other. Birds feed off many parasitic arthropods

(寄生节肢动物) which are found on hippopotamuses (河马). So if
the hippopotamuses die, the birds will become extinct too. This
would further lead to destruction as the species that are
dependent on the birds will also be badly affected. Actually
everything that exists in nature is dependent and nothing can
survive alone. If any of the species go missing, the whole chain
will be broken and go out of control. So for a living thing to
survive, it must allow other living things to survive. The result is
a complete balance in nature.
主题素养积累
Already 97% of species that lived on the earth are now
extinct. Therefore, there is an urgent need to protect the wildlife
and their habitat properly and wisely, which is protecting human
beings in fact.

During Yang Zhongkai's early years, a 500-year-old majestic
ginkgo (银杏) tree that did not sprout leaves for two to three
years at a stretch used to be a daily sight for him on his way
to and from high school. Since villagers widely regarded the
tree as having the power to make their wishes come true, they
used to kneel down in front of the “lucky” tree and burn
offerings under it, which led to prolonged heat exposure at its
roots, stunting its growth.

“Millions of such old trees are in urgent need of protection,
given their importance as vital biological resources and symbols
of ecological civilization,” said Yang, who started the team—
Zhiyue—dedicated to protecting ancient trees. “But the recording
and management of ancient and famous trees nationwide
commonly rely on Excel spreadsheets (电子表格), which present
issues such as information silos, lack of real-time updates and
incomplete content,” he said.

However, things have changed of late. Yang and his team
now use the artificial intelligence technology developed by
Tencent Cloud to identify and register trees accurately based on
individual traits and GPS tracking. “With the acceleration of a
new generation of technological revolution and industrial
transformation, new technologies bring more excitement to the
protection of ancient trees,” Yang said. “We can now collect
data on the trees' growth, health and environment in real time,
which helps us make informed decisions on how to better
protect them.”
