       Corona's influence The world's nature and wildlife are in crisis             This coronavirus is affecting not only Asia and Europe, but all over the world.   In particular, the airline and travel industries have been greatly affected, and it is unprecedented for travel to stop around the world.   And the impact on the trip is beginning to spread to nature and wildlife.   In the past, areas that had earned income in a way that directly destroyed the environment, such as hunting and field farming, but began to earn money while preserving the local environment by introducing ecotourism, are at risk due to the influence of this corona.   In other words, because people can no longer travel due to the pandemic of the Coronavirus, the income of people all over the world involved in tourism is lost, along with the increase in the number of people who act directly to the destruction of nature, such as conventional poaching and burning fields to live every day, poaching patrols a
