Chapter 111 Is There Really Hope?
Only in this way can the pollution of the environment be avoided to the greatest extent, and some animals will not be forced to move.

The stumbling team smelled of alcohol everywhere, and Wen Wanwan also drank a little, but compared to those who needed to be released, she was still relatively sober.

Professor Wang sat down next to Wen Wanwan with a can of beer in his hand, looked up at the sky above his head, and took a big gulp.

"You said, just keep working so hard, is there really hope?"

Wen Wanwan was stunned for a moment, but soon realized what Professor Wang was talking about.

The list of 150 million protected animals is enough to drive anyone into despair.

As long as you have been in this industry for a long time, you can always know some news.

The most famous one should be Lonely George, whose scientific name is the Pinta Island tortoise.

It is a tortoise that lives on Pinta Island in the Pacific Ocean, east of Ecuador. It was once the largest surviving species of tortoise in the world and one of the heaviest reptiles in the world.

In the middle of the last century, due to a large number of human hunting and overgrazing on Pinta Island, the Pinta Island tortoise was almost extinct.

In 1971, zoologists found the last Pinta Island tortoise on the island and named it Lonely George.

From the day it was discovered, human beings have tried every means to continue its genes.

For 40 years, as long as it is available to human beings, they have basically used all the means, but the end result is still hopeless. Whether it is genetic cloning or biologically similar female tortoises paired with George, they cannot reproduce.

In 2012, the lonely George swallowed his last breath and died of natural causes in the research station. The Pinta Island tortoise has since become extinct.

Many people have heard George's story, but those who really work in animal protection know the desperation.

A total of thirteen countries used all possible things, but failed in the end.

There are many such stories, Spix macaw, Pyrenees goat, western black rhino...

If you understand each name in depth, most people will express the same emotion as Professor Wang.

"There will be. Aren't we working hard after all?"

Although Wen Wanwan doesn't know what the future will hold, at least with the emergence of the Zero Extinction Alliance and more and more people in the world paying attention to the protection of animals, the living environment of wild animals has indeed improved a lot.

As long as we keep working so hard, sooner or later, the slogan of the Zero Extinction Alliance will come true.

"It is worthwhile for me to keep the population of green peacocks alive in my life."

A hint of open-mindedness appeared on Professor Wang's face, and he took another sip of beer, and then slowly talked about his work of protecting green peacocks in his life.

Wen Wanwan took the audience in the live broadcast room to be a listener with peace of mind, listening to the professor talk about his life's hard work.

Twenty years ago, the 20-year-old Professor Wang was not a professor, but an ordinary university lecturer.

That day he saw five green peacocks that were not genetically polluted in the National Conservation Zoo.

The beauty with fairy spirit completely shocked his heart.

Since then, he has spent three full years investigating the situation of green peacocks in China, but when the data was in his hands, he trembled all over.

It is hard to imagine that the fairy birds that have lived in our country for thousands of years have been greatly polluted by genes in just a few decades.

Not even a purebred green peacock can be seen in 90.00% of the zoos and forest parks.

Later, he wrote a thesis based on this data and was evaluated by an associate professor. With the help of his position, he still drafted a protection application for the wild population of green peacocks.

After ten years, three nature reserves were gradually established, allowing more than 500 green peacocks to breed.

Relying on the merits of the green peacock, he also came to the position of professor. For so many years, whether it is the artificial reproduction of the green peacock or the survival of the cubs.

Professor Wang has a great right to speak. He knows more about green peacocks than his own wife!
The daughter-in-law was angry and had to think about the reason, but with one movement of the green peacock, he could guess what the problem was.

The main purpose of this expedition is to find the green peacock and confirm its habitat.

If the environment allows these green peafowls to reproduce, it is necessary to design a protected area, coupled with human intervention to ensure the continuation of their population.

If the environment here makes it difficult for them to reproduce, then take these green peacocks to the location where the protected area has been established.

After finishing a can of beer, Professor Wang hiccupped and walked towards the tent unsteadily.

The atmosphere of the entire team is not right these days, and he is under great pressure.

In order to find these green peacocks, how many times did he apply shamelessly before he got the funds.

There are so many people gathered together, once there is a problem with the team, the green peacock cannot be found.

The failure of the mission is a trivial matter, but there will be problems with the protection of the green peacock and a series of plans in the future.

Now watching the team's morale recover, Professor Wang, who is holding on, can't stand it anymore.

Sneaking over to watch: [Professor Wang really devoted most of his life to the green peacock! 】

A common man: [It is only now that I know how great an animal protector is. 】

Talking about plum sauce: [Cry for me, we must resolutely resist genetic pollution in the future! 】

After listening to Professor Wang's experience, the netizens in the live broadcast room also felt a kind of shock. These are animal protectors. It is precisely because there are more such people that many wild animal populations are gradually recovering.

It was hot in the afternoon, but there were not many sounds in the camp.

Most of the people got into the tent to rest after drinking, and a few who didn't drink too much also sat by the stream with a book in their arms.

After finally having time to rest, everyone is using their own ways to relax.

However, Wen Wanwan couldn't be free at this time, so she and Xi Liang found a cool place to sit down, and spread out the map marked with densely packed arrows.

"If we go through here, is there any difficulty?"

Hearing Wen Wanwan's words, Xi Liang also set his eyes on the map.

After staring for a while, he quickly frowned.

"This should be a valley, right?"

"Well, green peacocks can fly. According to my guess, they probably crossed this valley."

"I'm afraid it won't be that easy for us to get to the past."

Xi Liang pointed a place on the arrow with his finger, and then he explained.

"This area should be a source of water. The whole is basically in a wetland state. There may be a large swamp area, which is too dangerous."

Hearing Xi Liang's answer, Wen Wanwan also felt a headache.
