Scientists in Peru\u2019s Los Amigos Biological Station are conducting research on Amazonian rodents<\/strong> to determine the impact of mercury contamination from illegal and poorly regulated gold mining on terrestrial mammals in the rainforest.<\/p>\n

The researchers anesthetize the small-eared pygmy<\/strong> rice rat and collect hair samples for testing. Preliminary findings from their study indicate that mercury from mining is affecting mammals, including rodents, ocelots, and monkeys. This contamination poses risks to both wildlife and humans who may consume contaminated animals. The Amazon rainforest, rich in biodiversity<\/strong>, faces the threat of extinction due to habitat destruction.<\/p>\n

Temuan awal dari penelitian mereka menunjukkan bahwa merkuri dari pertambangan mempengaruhi mamalia, termasuk tikus, berang-berang, dan monyet. Kontaminasi ini menimbulkan risiko bagi satwa liar dan manusia yang mungkin mengkonsumsi hewan yang terkontaminasi. Hutan hujan Amazon yang kaya akan keanekaragaman hayati menghadapi ancaman kepunahan akibat perusakan habitat.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite limited data, it\u2019s suggested that mercury\u2019s effects could lead to reproductive issues and population decline in animals. Efforts are being made to address illegal mining and its environmental consequences.<\/p>\n

(Meskipun data yang ada masih terbatas, ada dugaan bahwa dampak merkuri dapat menyebabkan masalah reproduksi dan penurunan populasi hewan. Upaya-upaya sedang dilakukan untuk mengatasi penambangan ilegal dan konsekuensi lingkungannya.)<\/span><\/p>\n
