• 3．Masks that helped save lives are proving a deadly danger for wildlife，with birds and sea creatures trapped in the shocking number of thrown-away facial coverings.Single use masks have been found around pavements，waterways and beaches worldwide.Worn once，the thin protective materials can take hundreds of years to decompose （分解）. "Face masks aren't going away any time soon—but when we throw them away，these items can harm the environment and the animals，" Ashley Fruno of animal rights group PETA said.
     In Britain，a gull was rescued by the RSPCA after its legs became tangled in the straps （帶子） of a mask for up to a week.The animal welfare charity took it to a wildlife hospital for treatment before its release.
  The biggest effect may be in the water.More than 1.5 billion masks made their way into the world's oceans last year，accounting for （占） around 6，200 extra tonnes of ocean plastic pollution，according to environmental group Oceans Asia.
     Conservationists in Brazil found one mask inside the stomach of a penguin after its body was washed up on a beach，while a dead pufferfish was discovered caught inside another off the coast of Miami.French campaigners found a dead crab trapped in a mask near the Mediterranean.Masks and gloves are "particularly problematic" for sea creatures，says George Leonard，chief scientist from NGO Ocean Conservancy. "When those plastics break down in the environment，they then enter the food chain and affect entire ecosystems，" he added.
     There has been a shift towards greater use of reusable cloth masks as the pandemic （疫情） has worn on，but many are still using the lighter single-use varieties.Campaigners have urged people to bin them properly and cut the straps to reduce the risk of animals becoming trapped.Oceans Asia has also called on governments to increase fines for littering and encourage the use of washable masks.
