ʻO Loro Parque's World Population Clock, e pili ana i ka manaʻo o ka United Nations 'Department of Economic and Social Affairs, ua hōʻea i kēia pule i ka helu mōʻaukala o 7,7 biliona kānaka. Wahi a kēia ʻano ulu o ka heluna kanaka, i ka makahiki 2023 e ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o 8 billion mau kānaka a me 10 billion i ka makahiki 2056. ʻO ia hoʻi, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka poʻe noho, akā ʻoi aku ka nui o nā mea make.
Hoʻomaopopo ka Loro Parque Foundation i ka hoʻokuke ʻana o ka nui o ka heluna kanaka i waho o ko lākou mau wahi noho. No ka laʻana, ua manaʻo ʻia aia ma ʻApelika, ma mua o ka hiki ʻana mai o ka poʻe ʻEulopa, aia paha ma mua o 29 miliona mau elepani. Eia naʻe, i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 1935, ua hāʻule ka heluna kanaka i 10 miliona a ke kū nei ma lalo o 440,000, e like me kahi noiʻi 2012 i alakaʻi ʻia e ka International Union for Conservation of Nature.
ʻO kēia ʻano hiʻohiʻona i hana ʻia me nā koholā polū, nona ka heluna kanaka ma Antarctica i hala, ma lalo o hoʻokahi haneli, mai 340,000 a ʻoi aku ma mua o 1,000 mau mea hoʻohālike. ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, mahalo i ka palekana o ka honua, ke hoʻōla mālie nei ka heluna o kēia ʻano. Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole i hiki i kekahi mau cetaceans e like me ka Mexican Vaquita a i ʻole Gulf porpoise ke hoʻonui i kā lākou helu a aia ma ke ʻano o ka pau ʻana me ka liʻiliʻi o 50 mau mea hoʻohālike i hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia.
I kēia manawa, hōʻike nā United Nations i nā manaʻo he 57 pakeneka o ka heluna kanaka o ka honua ke noho nei i nā kūlanakauhale, mamao loa mai ka pilina me ke ʻano a me nā holoholona. Eia kekahi, ua manaʻo ʻia ma ka makahiki 2050 e ʻoi aku ka nui o kēlā pākēneka ma mua o 80 pākēneka, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka launa pū ʻana me ke ʻano, me ka nui o ka poʻe i loaʻa ʻole ka manawa e launa pū me nā holoholona hihiu.
ʻO ʻAsia ka ʻāina nui loa ma ka honua, me 4,478 miliona mau kānaka a me ka nui o 144 mau kānaka i kēlā me kēia kilomika square, ukali ʻia e ʻApelika me 1,246 miliona a me ʻEulopa me 739 miliona. ʻAʻole ʻoi aku ka nui o ka heluna kanaka ma ʻEulopa a me ʻAmelika ma mua o 30 mau kānaka i kēlā me kēia kilomika square, akā naʻe, ʻo ka nui o ka ʻoihana a me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka mahiʻai ua ʻāpana a hōʻemi i nā wahi kūlohelohe.
Hoʻopilikia kēia pilikia o ka nui ʻana i nā kānaka a pau, no ka mea, ʻo ka pau ʻana o ka waiwai, ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka ululāʻau a me ka haumia he laʻana wale nō ia o nā hopena e pili ana i kēlā me kēia kanaka.
No kēia kumu, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka hana o nā kikowaena mālama holoholona e like me Loro Parque - pono e mālama i ka pilina ola ma waena o nā holoholona a me ka lehulehu. No laila, ʻo ka mikiona o nā zoos hou, ʻo ia ka hakakā ʻana i ka mālama ʻana i nā ʻano ʻano pōʻino, e hana e hoʻonui i ka ʻike ʻepekema e pili ana i nā ʻano holoholona e pale aku iā lākou, a e ʻimi e hoʻoulu i ke aloha a me ka pale ʻana i nā holoholona i kā lākou poʻe malihini a pau. No laila, i loko o kahi honua e piʻi nui ana a me ke kūlanakauhale, ʻo zoos ka ʻelele o nā holoholona a me ke ʻano.
