China is one of the world's most biologically (diversity) countries. China is home to the world's third largest number of higher plant species with 35,000, (account) for the world's 10 percent of the category. The country also owns 686 species of mammals and largest number of unique mammal species. China has 24.02 percent of (it) territory covered by forest and (top) the fifth globally in terms of forest resource coverage.
From the perspective of the world, however, the numbers of wild animals in Africa and the Asia-Pacific region have dropped 66 percent and 55 percent (respective) due to habitat degradation (恶化), development and pollution, climate change and diseases. The threat that worldwide biological diversity is under is worsening as 41 percent of the world's amphibians, 26 percent of the mammals and 14 percent of birds are facing extinction.
