Chapter 652 (1/2)
Fang ye said: ”at that time, the dilemma faced by giant pandas was far from bamboo flowering, no food and starvation.
After investigating in the past, investigators found more than 20000 animal traps in a certain place.
Although pandas have little edible and medicinal value, so the poaching of giant pandas is not too serious, giant pandas will step on the traps arranged for other animals. If they are careless, they will be pinched off their legs and feet, or even die.
In addition, people's awareness of ecological protection was generally weak. Some county leaders said that people could not eat enough. Why protect giant pandas?
In the homes of some villagers, more than 400 giant panda skins and some golden monkey skins were confiscated. ”
”Lying trough!”
The tourists around heard a cry of surprise.
400 giant panda skins. How many wild giant panda populations are there now? Only about 1000?
With so many giant panda skins, you can imagine how dangerous they were.
”Of course, there are still some villagers who are kind-hearted, rely on mountains and eat mountains, have the simple truth handed down by their ancestors, and know sustainable development, although there was no such word in those years.
When pandas come home for help, they will provide food for them to eat. In those years, there was no convenient road in the reserve, and the external staff were unfamiliar with the terrain. When they went into the mountain to investigate and look for giant pandas, the villagers took the initiative to lead the team. Some villagers directly rescued the giant pandas on the front line and carried out the endangered giant pandas. ”
Fang ye said: ”the trap is not the main factor, but the disappearance and fragmentation of habitat!
It was said that pandas are not afraid of bamboo flowering, which is based on the premise of complete habitat.
With road laying, deforestation, farmland reclamation and dam construction, the habitat of pandas is divided into small pieces, just like isolated islands.
Originally, the bamboos in this mountain can go to another mountain. Now, because of the barrier of roads, farmland and deforestation, they can't go, so they can only wait to starve to death.
There is one person to mention here, Professor Pan.
At that time, people thought that the bamboo blossomed and the pandas would starve to death. They might catch these wild pandas and save them in captivity. The state planned to establish 13 captive farms and catch many pandas back.
However, Professor Pan's investigation and research found that although a large number of bamboos died, they were far from starving pandas. The photos of giant pandas dying were also in areas where there were no bamboos.
Withstanding the pressure, he wrote a research report and submitted it, expressing his firm opposition to the breeding of wild pandas. Doing so will only destroy the population structure of wild pandas, and may also cause them to stop breeding.
Because the report is very detailed, the plan of the captive farm has stopped. It can be said that it has saved the fate of the panda population on its own. ”
Liu Xueqing listens and has a thrilling feeling!
When you think about giant pandas being caught and kept in captivity, you feel that the consequences are very serious.
The Crested Ibis in Japan is a lesson from the past. The last few single seedlings were caught. As a result, they were not successfully bred and directly extinct.
Giant pandas have a strong ability to reproduce in the wild. In the captive environment, they become sexually indifferent one by one.
