Endangered species
In the Mazowieckie voivodship, we can also distinguish endangered species such as carp, perch, pike perch, pike. In order to prevent the extinction of the fish, it is important to remember not to clutter the environment in which they are located. Dams are very harmful to fish because they block the paths through which the fish travel, which prevents them, for example during spawning, which causes a drastic decrease in fish reproduction. Nature conservation should also be promoted to support the fish population, as healthy ecosystems help protect the climate.
Sponges are very unusual animals. They do not have neurons, muscles, reproductive organs, and their bodies lack symmetry. Their shape resembles plants. Sponges are considered to be one of the oldest animals on earth. They are believed to have evolved around 500 million years ago. Sponges are most common in salt waters, and only 200 of them live in freshwater.
