I Have a Safari Park

The main point of conflict between humans and elephants lies in the fields where crops are grown.

The villagers worked hard to farm, and when the harvest was good, the results were all eaten by elephants.

At dusk, the elephant herd walked out of the forest and swaggered into the corn field. The nose peeled the corn husks flexibly, and the corn was directly rolled into the belly.

The elephant's nose is not only flexible, but also very sensitive. It can quickly judge whether the corn is ripe or not, and the unripe corn does not bother to eat it.

The forest ranger was distressed about the crops ruined by the elephants. Watching the elephants walk away, they quickly found a basket and picked up the crushed corn from the ground.

After picking it up for a while, I found the elephant turned to look at him far away.

That night, the elephant slaughtered a carbine and ate up all the corn in this cornfield.

Elephants are very clever, knowing that humans will harvest corn, and want to eat it all before humans can harvest it.

Beginning in 2005, in order for the people to grab crops, the Xishuangbanna Nature Reserve specially selected a gentle **** by the forest to grow food for the elephants.

At the same time, a man-made salt-alkali pond was built nearby to bury the salt in the ground so that elephants and other animals can take in salt minerals here.

However, the elephants eat crops very quickly, eating a piece of land in one afternoon and leaving.

Planting crops for elephants in this way has deepened the changes in their eating habits, and they increasingly rely on these high-starch and high-calorie foods.

It is also a last resort.

For elephants to eat crops, relevant organizations have thought of many ways.

Villagers who have their financial resources dependent on farming and are severely affected are hired as elephant monitors.

Although the crops damaged by wild elephants can receive a certain amount of compensation, there is still a gap with normal income.

Elephant monitors track wild elephants 24 hours a day, and broadcast the elephant’s whereabouts to surrounding villagers through Moments and WeChat to warn villagers to avoid conflict.

There is also a sound and light warning system. When the infrared cameras around the village capture wild elephants, they will send the photos to the administrator’s mailbox. After the administrator confirms that they are wild elephants, they will use big speakers, flashing lights, and scrolling captions. make a notification.

Even if the villagers did not look at their mobile phones or read the text messages in time, they could still be notified through the sound and light early warning system throughout the field to avoid casualties.

But the most important thing is to restore the original forest habitat of elephants so that they can obtain the resources they need to survive in the forest, so that the problem can be solved from the root cause.

At present, there are organizations in the reserve to carry out restoration of the Asian elephant habitat, planting bamboo, zongye reed, wild banana and other native plants that elephants like.

However, there is a big gap between artificial planting and natural renewal succession. Before Zong Ye Lu grew up, the elephant swept away its nose. The banana seedlings planted in a week, the elephants came, and within an hour, they were all uprooted.

It is simple to destroy, but much more difficult to repair.

The habitat of Asian elephants must be protected, and the livelihood of the people must be resolved.

There are public welfare projects to help villagers carry out industrial transformation, such as the development of beekeeping, improvement of beekeeping boxes for villagers, and training of beekeeping techniques for villagers.

In this way, the villagers have a stable source of income, and bees can also help pollinate and maintain the health of the forest ecosystem.

Restoring the forest is also restoring the human heart and the relationship between man and elephant.

The food problem is solved, the relationship between elephants and humans is harmonious, and the tourism industry of vision can also be developed.

There are other measures. For example, elephants were not taken into consideration when the road was constructed. Elephants walked on the road to obstruct traffic and need to build migration channels for them.

Lin Hao breathed a sigh of relief after reading it.

Although there are many difficulties, there are still solutions.

You can sacrifice the environment as a price in exchange for some economic benefits, and talk about protection when the economy develops.

It is true to pursue a better life, but there is a limit to sacrificing the environment. It is like planting rubber to high-altitude areas, destroying the ecological environment and wasting financial resources.

The ancients all knew, "If you catch all the fish, don't you get it, and there will be no fish next year."

With TV, do you want a car? With a car, do you want a big house? With a big house, you can enjoy the prosperity and comfort every day.

Human desires are endless.

Studies have investigated the climatic impact brought about by large-scale rubber planting. Forests have a certain effect on precipitation, but it is not obvious. The main reason is to intercept the moisture in the atmosphere and increase the humidity of the air. The moisture can be added to the soil.

The interception of the rubber canopy is much lower than that of the monsoon rain forest. With the increase of rubber area, the air humidity in Xishuangbanna has decreased significantly in recent years, the air dryness has increased, and the temperature has increased. In plain language, it is more prone to droughts and wildfires.

If trees are cut down uncontrollably and planted with cash crops, the environment will eventually deteriorate, and not only elephants and other animals will be unlucky, but the local residents will also be unable to live. How to farm when it's drought.

It will be back eventually.

Dawu and the others also wandered around in the observatory hut.

Back on the balcony, looking at the elephant in the distance, mixed feelings.

After understanding this knowledge, and then looking at the elephant, it is not just the simple impression of being huge, cute, and docile.

They are also dangerous, intelligent, and tragic animals.

Observing elephants in such a Dai bamboo house is as if you are a farmer living in a protected area.

Thinking of the hard work of farming and planting such a beautiful green corn field, when the elephants came over and picked them up in a few minutes when they were mature, I could also experience some feelings of love and hatred for elephants.

After taking a bath, the elephants have returned to the shore and came to the sand.

They rolled up the sand with their noses, raised them on their backs, sprinkled their heads and flanks.

It was dusty for a while, and the scene was spectacular.

Playing in the water and spreading sand in summer is really an extremely happy thing for elephants.

With such a big pool~www.readwn.com~, a few elephants can go to take a bath together, and the relationship is better than when they first met.

Pingping lay down directly in the sand, waving his tail, obviously having fun.

Bobo raised one front leg and rubbed the other heel repeatedly, seeming to be tickling it in this way.

Meiling was particularly excited, flapping her big ears like a fan, sprinkled a pile of sand, and let out a loud elephant croak.

"Woo!!!"

Like a siren, it passed to the cabin, the sound was still loud, and the remaining sound was endless.

The tourists suddenly cheered with excitement.

"Haha, looks so happy!"

"The environment in our zoo is really good, it's wonderful."

It is an unparalleled experience to see the elephants playing in the water and splashing sand, all kinds of wonderful behaviors.
