Chinese merganser, third glacial period surviving species, has been in 10 million years, such as the Chinese sturgeon, Chinese merganser currently endangered, rare even than the number of Chinese alligator and panda, an international endangered species.
The species, which has been in existence for thousands of years, may have disappeared from the earth in the next five to ten years.
When human ancestors from arboreal life into the ground of life, Chinese merganser has existed on this planet. However, in the nearly 150-year period, had survived more than a thousand years of Chinese merganser, its population size and habitat range were tested rapid decline.
This duck nests select more than 50 years old natural tree holes. So when forests disappear, the trees disappear, Merganser will disappear.
Since the 1930s, merganser breeding population in China has been in a "steady decline" state. At the end of the Sino-Japanese War, after the stop deforestation, virgin forest depleted, and now, facing threats from the breeding grounds of hydropower construction and pesticides.
