I Have a Safari Park

Then Researcher Gu talked to Fang Ye!

"The survey of the distribution of green peacocks I did before. They are only distributed in the three basins of the Red River, Lancang River and Nu River. The Lancang River may have the largest population of green peacocks, but it has been messed up by the hydropower station. Now Lancang River and Nu River Only a little bit is left, and the Red River is their largest habitat.

I have never heard of the hydropower station you mentioned, but Xinping should be built in the section of the Red River.

The biggest crisis for green peacocks now is the loss of habitat!

Many people have a misunderstanding. They think that green peacocks live in dense tropical rain forests. In fact, they are not. The place where they live is a tropical monsoon forest with sparse and empty dry-season deciduous vegetation, which is a bit like the environment of African savanna.

Why do green peacocks like to live in this habitat? It may be this dense and humid tropical rain forest. Its thick feathers are prone to parasites, making it uncomfortable to stay, right, this kind of empty habitat is conducive to the activities of green peacocks.

The most important thing is that the tropical monsoon forest has a well-developed herb layer. The plants are gramineous, ungulates and green peacocks like to eat this. The plants growing in the tropical rain forest are shade-tolerant but poisonous plants of the Araceae family. Ah, many animals are at least green peacocks that cannot eat.

Many of the monsoon forests over there have been cut down. What are you doing? What are the main economic crops such as mangoes and macadamia nuts? Therefore, their current habitat environment has shrunk very badly. In fact, it does not matter if they destroy forests. River valleys are the main areas where tropical monsoon forests are distributed. As soon as this hydropower station is built and the water rises, the green peacock's habitat is over.

In the past, green peacocks were almost everywhere in Yunnan. One of my seniors who studied birds did surveys there in the 1960s. I could hear the calls of green peacocks and see the figure of green peacocks every day. Of course it is impossible to see this scene. "

Fang Ye said in surprise: "Ah, this is a pity."

Researcher Gu sighed and said: "Who can say no? There used to be a large tropical monsoon forest in Pu'er. Once I did a survey, a forest ranger told me that at the end of the last century, I took a boat down the Lancang River all the way down in the morning. You can see peacocks opening the screen by the river, elephants bathing in the river, bison and herons drinking water by the river, and hornbills flying overhead.

Such a beautiful place, how good it is to build a national park, not worse than those foreign national parks. But after the construction of the hydropower station, the entire forest is now more than 100 meters below the surface of the water. It was so overwhelmed that I didn't even leave a single image, and I didn't even know how it disappeared.

The scenery is really special, special and beautiful. Especially during the dry season, the water is particularly clear. We have tested it and found that the water quality is first-class water, so you can drink it directly. Now you can find the main streams of several rivers in China, and its water quality is still good. Achieved a class of water? You can't find a few.

In addition to the beautiful scenery, the biodiversity here is also very rich, such as wild boar, leopard cat, red deer How is the status of the turtle?

There are many beautiful birds, black-necked long-tailed pheasant, brown fisher owl, golden pheasant, Chinese partridge, and bee-eaters. There are theoretically five species of bee-eaters, especially in May, a large number of this green-throated bee Tigers and blue-throated bee-eaters build nests on the banks of the Shiyang River and Lvzhi River.

I remember that in Hainan, in order to protect the nesting and breeding of bee-eaters, it also set up a protection community. Once the hydropower station was built, it was gone anyway.

Plants are also very rich. The geographical environment of this place is very unique. The dry-hot valley is not only found in Africa, but also in China. It is in the Red River area of ​​Yunnan. The vegetation is also related. It may be part of the process of drifting in India. Drifting here, this is very complicated to expand. "

Fang Ye couldn't help asking: "With such a good natural resource, it is reasonable to say that the environmental impact assessment cannot be passed when the hydropower station is built?"

Researcher Gu smiled bitterly: "Who knows. Anyway, too many places are so silently submerged, there is no way. No matter how good the foundation is, you can't help but build!"

Fang Ye thanked him: "Teacher Gu, I really appreciate your taking the time to help me out, and it is so detailed! The two teachers I asked before did not really want to talk about this topic."

Researcher Gu said: "Teacher Gu is too high. I am younger and have less worries! Because in the circle, the more qualified, the more inconvenient to say some words. There may be various background forces behind it, and it is possible to say it. It will offend people. And some people rely on this EIA to eat, you know. Hey, in fact, these words have been held back for a long time, and I will also tell you in private."

"Okay, I will ask you again if I have anything to do."

After Fang Ye hung up, he opened the website and frowned to find the EIA report of the Gaba River Hydropower Station.

It seems that except for some confidential items, the EIA report must be publicized!

He is not very familiar with where to find the EIA report. In the process of searching, he also saw some news about large-scale "abandonment" of hydropower stations.

In other words, the installed capacity of hydropower has increased explosively and concentratedly in recent years. The power generation capacity of the grid far exceeds the total power demand of the market. There is a serious surplus of hydropower, and a large amount of hydropower has been wasted.

Looking at the report, Fang Ye was speechless for a while, and continued to find the EIA report!

After a while, I finally found the full text on the publicity website ~www.readwn.com~ a total of 599 pages. I quickly turned the page and found the part related to the green peacock: "The project covers a total of 180.03hm2 (ten thousand square meters). ), the vegetation within the submerged and occupied area will be destroyed, resulting in a certain amount of plant biomass loss, and the integrity of the terrestrial ecosystem in local areas may be affected to a certain extent. Wild animals that originally inhabited here will be forced to migrate.

...The difference in submerged habitats at different water levels is not obvious, neither will change the flora and fauna of the area, will not lead to species extinction, but will only have a certain impact on the number of species. "

Fang Ye had nothing to say: "Is this the EIA? What is it that will be forced to relocate? Translated, what does it mean that it will not lead to species extinction, but will only cause a certain impact?"

When I called Researcher Gu just now, they made it very clear that the habitat of the green peacock is the monsoon forest in the valley, and it can’t live in other places. The population of the original three basins, but now the population in the Red River basin is slightly better. .

Forced to relocate, the habitat is either chopped down and planted with cash crops, or it is flooded by hydroelectric power stations, leaving only a small area, how to relocate?
