What is the flagship?
The flagship is a species of plants or animal kingdom that is used to present a certain environmental problem or cause. There are a number of problems that can be represented by the flagship. For example, a polar bear was used as a species to raise awareness of what global warming is doing on the planet. Photos and videos from polar bears were taken at the top of the floating ice. The purpose of these photographs is to try to get people to understand that the impact of a person on Earth has led to global warming that creates a huge number of problems, including creating problems with animals living in glacier areas.
very often, the flag species will be selected because of its attraction or because it has unique features. In many cases, other species are overlooked because for some reason they are not considered sensational or do not seem to be a kind of appeal that gives the same kind of interest as large whale groups. Although a huge number of speciesIt may benefit or at least obtain protection against certain efforts by the organization, it is the flag type of this organization that will be used to draw supporters.
Sometimes young members of the species are also used to obtain compassion with a certain cause. In an example of a polar bear, a video about the mother of a polar bear is floated from her child in search of food; The child remains on a small, floating ice block, seemingly abandoned and alone. Because it is known that most people have an emotional reaction for young animals, the use of a polar bear for global warming may be a very effective marketing strategy.
Sometimes a flag species will be used as a representative of the environmental disaster. For example, a brown pelican -soaked oil -soaked oil rising through the media and through online news sources and quickly became the face of the environmental disaster in the Gulf of Mexico that wouldLA result in oil leak BP. Not only was it one of the first available pictures of the animal soaked in oil, but the brown pelican served as a perfect flag species for this event, because it also became a state bird of Louisiana.
