Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Community protection
When I arrived at Qu Nan's house, it was already afternoon.
When they came to Qu Nan's house, Fang Ye said hello to the hostess of the house, and Qu Nan's children "Tashi Delek".
Little girl, little boy, his face is a little darkened from the sun, wearing ethnic jewelry, and simple clothes.
Blue Carp took out a few packs of sweets and chocolates prepared earlier, and smiled with the children: "Hello, this is a gift for you!"
The child is still a bit shy and didn't take it.
Qu Nan looked at the gift and said something to the children before the children accepted it, and kept thanking them.
The industrious hostess enthusiastically brought butter tea and some food. She also didn't speak Chinese, but she kept making gestures for them to drink tea and eat.
Fang Ye tried it, and felt that the butter tea tastes good, the milk is mellow, and the salty taste is very fragrant.
Doggie smiled and said, "Drinking this is good, it can relieve altitude sickness and prevent cracked lips!"
"Well, then drink more."
Generally, the best time to observe most animals is when the morning is just bright and when it gets dark at night, the animals are relatively active during this time.
You can go out to look for the snow leopard before dark, but Fang Ye is not so anxious.
Just stay in the house and chat with the Tibetans. It's also good to get to know the work that Teacher Lu and the others do here, and to see how the locals get along with the snow leopards.
Fang Ye is interested in understanding, Qu Nan also said, he knows the local legends, and some community about animal protection, Duoji helped to translate for the two of them.
Qu Nandao: "Snow Leopard, is the mount of the dakini warriors!"
Duoji helped to explain that in Tibetan Buddhism, dakini is a kind of protector god, women are called dakinis, and men are called dakini warriors.
Fang Ye listened to them, his understanding gradually deepened, and he nodded frequently.
Here, there is the culture of the mountain sacred lake.
Before the Tubo Dynasty, the worship of mountain gods was a common belief in snowy areas. Each tribe had its own specific sacred mountain, and the gods living on this mountain were worshiped as the "protector god" of the tribe.
This kind of belief culture has continued. Tibetans believe that sacred mountains have joy, anger, sorrow, and joy just like people. There are sacred mountains for sheltering people and sacred mountains for punishing people.
Therefore, Tibetans living here have more respect for nature.
Qu Nan said that a harmonious relationship is good for both humans and animals. Both humans and insects and beasts have an equal right to survive.
This kind of culture where all beings are treated equally, naturally has a better attitude towards wild animals.
To them, a snow leopard, like a mount of a mountain god, walks on the ridgeline and is very respectful.
When the researchers came over to investigate the snow leopard, they asked the villagers for help.
At that time, mining was very powerful here, and the mining was all on the sacred mountain and holy lake of the local people.
So the people are very happy, because if they want to protect, they have the right to take care of these things, including poaching or some people who come to mine, and protecting the sacred mountain and its surroundings is meritorious, and it has been won by many herdsmen in the village. support.
Fangye sighed!
When the giant panda was protected, it was always propaganda to the surrounding villagers. People have been asking why they should protect pandas and what does it have to do with them.
But when it comes to the snowy area, Tibetans don't think that protecting animals and caring for wild animals is a special thing, but a natural thing.
After the establishment of the Sanjiangyuan National Park, the protection mechanism for the people has also been adopted and has become an innovation here.
Every household living in the national park hires a monitor with a salary of 1,800 yuan a month to do snow leopard monitoring projects, arrange some infrared cameras, collect data, and conduct anti-poaching patrols.
Because the villagers have a better understanding of the local wildlife distribution and the terrain of the mountain roads, in a high-altitude area, locals are used to living here, and scientific researchers will experience various discomforts when they travel over the mountains.
There are also considerations for poverty alleviation, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.
As a monitor, Qu Nan's main task is to arrange cameras in places where snow leopards and various wild animals haunt, and check 3 to 5 times a month, mainly to see if the camera is broken, whether it has electricity, and whether the storage card is full. During the inspection, the mountain will be patrolled and **** will be cleaned up by the way.
Of course, the conflict between humans and beasts has always existed.
Like some villages, snow leopards can hunt more than two hundred cattle a year.
It's just that this kind of sacred mountain and holy lake, and the culture of respecting animals played a very important role in the process of conflict.
The tolerance of the masses is much higher, so that the snow leopard can have a good population on the plateau.
Shan Shui Naturally, they came here, and after doing research, they also thought of ways to resolve this kind of human-beast conflict.
In fact, the problem of human-beast conflicts, in the final analysis, reflects the conflicts between people, and the differences between different groups of people in the treatment of wild animals.
Because scientific researchers like them, people who love wild animals in the outside world, hope that snow leopards will survive here, but they didn't give anything, and the local people really gave it.
Regardless of whether the people are willing to protect, it is not fair that the local people bear the price.
So at the beginning, I set up a human-beast conflict fund, part of which is from the national park and the other part from the Shanshui Nature Conservation Center. The herders insure their cattle 3 yuan each.
There are auditors in every village herders find that the cows have been eaten, they can contact the auditors to take pictures, and then the auditors upload the records and apply for compensation.
After the establishment of the Fund, losses have been reduced to a certain extent, and it has also made herders more willing to participate in the work of community protection.
later applied for a national park franchise, which is now an experience project in Big Cat Valley.
These people who monitor snow leopards have a lot of knowledge about the habits of snow leopards. They take tourists to experience some experiences and can also provide subsidies to Tibetans.
After the first year of franchising started, the income was not bad. The local government and the people discussed together how to spend the money.
The Tibetan community pays great attention to fairness.
The protection of snow leopards is not only the efforts of one person, but also the efforts of the whole village, so the benefits must be shared.
Finally, it was negotiated that these monitoring team members as tour guides took 45%, and the remaining 45% belonged to the collective, so they could buy pension insurance for the elderly, and the remaining 10% would be invested in the insurance of leopards and cows.
Fang Ye was amazed: "It's really good!"
Angsai is a good example of the harmonious coexistence of humans and animals.
is not simply to compensate villagers, but to respect villagers and promote them to become the main body of protection.
Many people are constantly exploring the protection of wild animals.
