I Have a Safari Park

Fang Ye couldn't help asking, "Then why is the number of gibbons falling so fast?"

Fan Pengdao: "The most important thing is the loss of habitat and quality degradation. Grass and fruit planting is the main reason for habitat degradation."

Of course, Caoguo Fangye knows that a very common seasoning, such as braised pork or boiled mutton, will put some Caoguo to remove the fishy smell.

Fan Peng said: "Grass fruit is a shade-loving plant. In order to grow grass fruit, the common people will clear the bushes and vines under the forest, but will not cut down the tree, because if it is cut down, the grass fruit will be in the dry season. They were killed by direct sunlight, so they selectively pruned some trees.

From the outside, the forest may not have changed, but in fact there are only some big trees left in it. The small saplings were cleared before they had a chance to grow. The forest had no chance to renew. After the big trees died, these forests would appear very different. There are big empty windows, but people will never plant trees again. "

Fang Ye understood: "This is a bit similar to the problem encountered by Asian elephants! The forest just looks green, but it's actually an empty shell."

The conflict between Asian elephants and humans has become more and more intense in recent years because the original forests have been cut down and replaced with cash crops such as rubber, including some Amomum villosum planting under the forest.

Rubber may not be as hot as it used to be, but the rubber trees that were originally planted have not been cleaned up, and the forest cannot be renewed. It is easy to break, but too difficult to repair.

The giant Asian elephant is in conflict with humans. Whether it is being beaten to death or trampled to death, it can attract some attention. Gibbon is usually not in conflict with the world, and lives on trees rarely meets people, and disappears silently. , Can't afford to splash even a little bit of water.

"In order to study the influence of grass and fruit planting on the behavior of gibbons, we selected two places where gibbons are distributed for comparative research.

The first monitoring station was built by ourselves, brick by brick, and we built our own racks, dragged a bamboo raft from the mountain to make a wall, then put up thatch on the wall, and hung a poster of a gibbon.

Because there is a very famous plant in Gaoligong Mountain, the big tree rhododendron, which is generally a relatively short shrub, but the big tree rhododendron can grow up to 28 meters, which is unique here and is a very famous tree species in the world.

Some botanists and garden horticulturists in the world have tried their best to see the heroic appearance of the big tree rhododendron.

One or two kilometers from our monitoring station, there is a big tree Rhododendron. Many people come to watch when the flowers are blooming, and stop by us for tea while watching the flowers. So we put up a poster to promote the gibbons and introduce them to them. Some knowledge of gibbons. "

When Fan Peng said this, he took a sip of rice wine and showed a look of nostalgia, but his eyes quickly became melancholy: "Unfortunately, only 4 months later, a group of gibbons we studied was beaten. "

Raising his hand, he made a "bang" shooting gesture: "Four shots, one gibbon family is gone."

Fang Ye's heart suddenly tightened, and his brows frowned: "How dare you!"

Some can't figure it out: "Why do you want to poach gibbons? Catch them to be pets?"

Fan Peng smiled bitterly: "It may be that some relatives and friends in the family have epilepsy. Use gibbons to treat the disease. There is a legend about gibbons, that is, they are okay if they swing so **** a tree, then can they cure epilepsy?"

Fang Ye sighed, "Huh!"

Fan Peng added: “Of course, different places have different customs. Some places use gibbon bones as medicine. In some places, poaching of gibbons rarely happens because the local people believe that hunting gibbons will cause disaster.”

Fang Ye nodded. The relationship between religion, folk customs and wildlife is very close, not necessarily negative.

Some "good men and believers" released snakes randomly and released snakes around the community. Invasive species of Brazilian tortoises and scavengers were released to rivers and lakes. A while ago, I heard that crocodiles were released, and small crocodiles bought from farms were released into the lake.

Of course, they don't know the living environment they need. When they catch it in two days, they already belch and waste a lot of manpower and material resources.

This kind of blind release is not doing good but doing evil.

Like Tibet, the sacred mountain and holy lake, the concept of equality of all things has played a very good role in the protection of the environment of the snow-capped mountains and the highland elves such as snow leopards.

Fan Peng said again: "It's also possible to catch gibbons as pets, but only cubs can tame gibbons.

Unlike other primates, gibbons attach great importance to family and will fight to protect each other for the safety of family members.

When poachers try to obtain children of gibbons, their fathers are killed first, then the siblings, and finally the mother with the cubs. Once the cubs are spotted, no other family members will be spared.

Cubs usually hold their mothers tightly. The mothers die, or they may fall from a height of tens of meters and cannot survive~www.readwn.com~ From poaching to transportation, behind a gibbon pet are 239 of the same kind die. The chance of surviving as a pet is also very low, and may die within two years. "

Li Xing shook his head and said: "Sometimes I saw some videos of owl cafes and monkeys wearing human clothes on social media. The following people commented and praised cute, obedient, envious and wanting to raise and so on. I really can't laugh at all. "

Fang Yedao: "Before Yang Xiaochao and the others came to the zoo to shoot variety shows, I also communicated repeatedly with the program team, hoping not to send wrong information to the audience."

These animals are cute and attractive, but they are not suitable for keeping as pets. Wild animals and cute pets are two different things.

Fill the glasses again for the two of them.

Li Xing said: "Director Fang's sense of responsibility is still very strong. I think some zoos specialize this as a selling point. Orangutans smoke, orangutans hug and take photos with people."

Fan Peng continued to preach: "After the gunshot, we were still a little unwilling to give up, wondering if the gibbons hid elsewhere and dare not scream? We stayed in this place for 6 months and never saw this again. Parent gibbons, maybe they really lost their guns. They had to abandon this monitoring station.

Then I came to a new monitoring station, which is close to the highway and the logistics is very convenient. Unfortunately, the population of gibbons here is very small. During the investigation, there were three animals, one male and one female to form a family.

This family originally had a child, but died for unknown reasons, and then gave birth to another one. A few years ago, another one was born. Now the family has 4 children.

There is also a female single ape who is the cousin of the male family ape. "

Fang Ye raised his brows: "Oh?"

"Well, it's the one we are looking for."
