Chapter 621 (1/2)
After a while, the children had almost harvested.
Fang Ye looked at the rice field, blew a whistle and clapped his hands: ”well, let's tidy up the rice cut here and have a rest! Those who want to thresh grain can have a try and take you to dry the grain later.”
A child quickly raised his hand and said, ”mine hasn't been cut yet!”
Fang ye said with a smile, ”there's not much left. Let's save some for the birds!
Although we grow the field, we also rely on all kinds of organisms in the field for the healthy growth of rice.
Take it from nature and give it back. ”
Some children are not willing: ”ah ~ ~ isn't this a waste of food!”
After all, it's the rice you planted hard. After transplanting the seedlings, your back is sore and your legs and stomach still hurt for several days!
Fang ye thought for a moment and said, ”tell me a story about the Oriental White Stork!
There are about 6500 Oriental white storks in China. Last winter, enough 5000 moved to Tianjin for the winter.
There have never been so many in previous years because they can't get enough food through several wetlands along their migration route.
When these Oriental White Storks get together, they can easily become targets of poachers. Frequent ups and downs may also hit high-voltage lines and be electrocuted.
Without enough food, they could only eat the fish in the villagers' fish pond, which was driven away by the villagers with firecrackers. Finally, volunteers raised money to buy them fish and build a canteen, which temporarily solved the crisis.
Because of the impact of human activities, many wetlands have disappeared or are being destroyed.
Among the threats faced by wetlands, in addition to reclamation and reconstruction of farmland around the lake, dredging ships excavate a large amount of river sand in the riverbed and lake bank.
China's large-scale urbanization in the past few decades has a great demand for sand. Sand is used in glass, concrete and building materials, and the most ideal sand for industry comes from rivers and lakes rather than the sea.
The paddy field is equivalent to a small wetland, which can make birds tired, stop to rest and replenish.
As our human community develops, don't forget to leave some living space for these wildlife neighbors.
Of course, the most important thing is to protect their habitat. ”
”Oh!”
After listening to what Fang ye said, the children blinked twice and looked like they were going to cry: ”can you save more for them?”
Fang Ye squatted down and touched the child's head and said gently, ”OK, the bird who comes here to rest will certainly thank you ~”
Some parents lamented: ”in the past, when we harvested in our hometown, we deliberately left some wheat, corn and sweet potato, just to leave some food for overwintering animals.”
”This kind of agriculture that is eco-friendly and gives back to nature is really good!”
”Ah, our hometown used to hate migrating wild geese very much, because they could eat wheat and exchange foreign exchange. Many of them were knocked out. Later, they didn't dare to settle down with us... Now if they have the opportunity, they will be better for them.”
”While developing our human community, don't forget to leave some living space for wildlife neighbors. That's very good!”
Not only the children, but also the parents listening on the ridge feel that they have learned a lot!
I have always had the impression that the zoo is a place for entertainment and relaxation. I look at elephants and pandas and feed two pieces of meat to tigers.
However, after visiting Haihai zoo, I gradually learned to appreciate the natural behavior of animals and understand their survival needs.
The zoo made some fields to let the children exercise, get rid of the problem of pampering and know the rare food.
Unexpectedly, although there are no rare animals in the rice field, it is like a window showing the way of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
The harvest far exceeded expectations.
After the children experienced threshing, fangye called the breeder of the small farm and took a bag to pack the threshed millet.
Take away the rest and let the machine handle it.
