Zebras are a very common large herbivore found in ecosystems such as grasslands and savannas in sub-Saharan Africa. In China, zebras are not included in the national list of key protected wild animals. However, in countries such as Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa, zebras are protected by law and listed as their national animal. In addition, zebras are listed as "near threatened" in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)'s Red List of Species, which means they are threatened and require special attention and protection. We should respect wild animals, care for the natural environment, and avoid illegal hunting or trading of them and their products, so as to better protect biodiversity and the natural environment.
