The urban animal exhibition area, as well as the native animal exhibition area, is still in the planning stage.
But the future is certain.
The two exhibition areas have similarities, but they are different.
The urban animal exhibition area mainly displays the contradictions between humans and animals in the urban space, and how to live in harmony.
The native animal exhibition area is based on the changes of the local animals in the sea as a clue.
Which animals used to live in the sea, what is the current situation, where they live, how many are their populations, are they decreasing or increasing, and if they disappeared, what are the reasons?
Let visitors understand that the destruction and protection of the environment happen on the land around them, not far away from them.
It is necessary to do some investigation and research on the current animal distribution in Linhai, to find county records, or to ask elderly elderly people, and use their memories to sort out clues to animal changes.
Fang Ye feels that more learning experience is needed, and the current time for construction is not ripe.
From the raccoon to the wild boar.
In the past, because of the milk tea wild boar, some infrared cameras were arranged in the villages and towns around Linhai, and the video data was handed over to Wang Yan and his team for research, and they also had some understanding of the distribution of wild boars.
The number of wild boars in Linhai is relatively small.
The distribution investigation is clear, the measures to prevent wild boars in the township have been laid out, and a lot of publicity about wild boars have been carried out. The preparations are ready, and the time for the release of the black whirlwind Meimei has also come.
What Fang Ye remembered: "I saw a news yesterday that the number of wild boars in Huangshan, Anhui Province has increased sharply. Now we are carrying out wild boar prevention and control work, preparing to hunt wild boars and regulating the number of wild boars. It is estimated that we will see wild boars from time to time in the future. news."
Wang Yan said: "There is no way. There is no tiger to control the number of wild boars. The impact of the disappearance of animals has never been immediately reflected.
I see at the gate of your zoo, there is a group of pigeons and a display of passenger pigeons. Passenger pigeons are a typical example. "
Fang Ye listened with sincerity. He knew about the extinction of passenger pigeons, but the specific impact was really unclear.
When Wang Yan saw that he was interested, he said: "This passenger pigeon, wasn't it extinct in 1914? Before the extinction, people estimated its number at the level of tens of billions. It flew over the head, and it was a torrent of water. Like a dark cloud, the entire sky will be dimmed.
The extinction of passenger pigeons seemed to have little effect in the short term, and people didn't know what it meant until 84 years later.
There are a large number of oak trees in the Americas. These oak trees are divided into young and old. The oak trees in a forest will bear fruit at the same time to avoid all acorns being eaten.
After the passenger pigeon was extinct for a long time, suddenly it caught up with the new year of the oak tree, and the ground was full of acorns. The passenger pigeon was the main consumer of acorns in the past. Now the passenger pigeon does not exist, and there is a small family. Outbreak of rats.
With the urbanization of various places, the house mouse not only erupted in the oak forest, but also began to erupt in the city.
House mice carry ticks. If the weather is too cold in winter, the ticks will die and they will not be able to overwinter.
However, with the warming of the climate, the distribution area of house mice has expanded, and the distribution of ticks has been expanding. Therefore, with the outbreak of this acorn, the outbreak of house mice, Lyme disease has become a very common type of North America. Zoonotic diseases.
Lyme disease is mainly spread through tick bites. It can cause joint pain, loss of speech, and even death from breathing disorders in severe cases. This is a concept we are talking about, the time lag of the ecosystem. "
Fang Ye couldn't help but think of a sentence, an unfortunate childhood, it takes a lifetime to heal.
In fact, the same is true for the ecosystem. Some serious damages require a long time and a huge effort to restore, and may even never be restored.
Nowadays, wild boars are out of control in some places, mainly caused by the absence of carnivores, especially tigers.
Wolves and leopards can only hunt small wild boars and piglets. They can't completely control the number of wild boars and can only slow down.
Wild boar is the tiger's favorite food. A powerful tiger can hunt almost most wild boars, except for some huge wild boar kings.
Now let alone tigers, there are very few leopards and wolves.
When the beast disappears, nothing can be seen for a while, but the impact is far-reaching.
There are local wild boar outbreaks. Humans need to continuously invest in human and financial resources to regulate the number of wild boars. It is also difficult to achieve the effect of hunting wild boars and natural balance. It is necessary to constantly compensate for the loss of farmland caused by wild boars.
If you want to completely extinct, you can certainly do it, but the extinction of wild boar will have a huge impact on the ecosystem.
Like dominoes, knock down a bunch of them.
It is much more difficult to restore the tiger, a beast, than to destroy the wild boar.
The tiger in the zoo and the tiger in the wild can be said to be two species Where to find the source of prey water, what can be eaten, the skills of hunting different animals, and avoiding the consciousness of humans, this is not taught by parents. To learn.
Besides, the general public has not formed the consciousness of sharing home with animals, and understands the correct way to get along with animals. They are scared to see a wild boar, let alone tigers and leopards.
Fang Ye was full of thoughts and sighed: "If you want to restore the ecology, you must first restore the human heart."
Wang Yan smiled and said, "You Linhai Zoo, aren't you doing this thing?"
Fang Ye smiled.
At the beginning, he played "Zoo Stars" and crossed over, but he still had the mentality of playing games.
The fun is more about getting close to the animals, and designing a beautiful pavilion to appreciate the animals in it, showing their natural and beautiful posture.
The excitement of the tourists like the sound of shouts made him happy and a sense of accomplishment.
In the process of running the zoo, he is constantly learning and progressing, and he has become more responsible and pursued.
...
Although Black Tornado and Meimei have been rescued to the zoo for almost half a year, they even gave birth to a litter of piglets.
However, the staff usually keep a distance when they get along, so they still maintain a vigilant heart towards human beings, seeing people evasive, and satisfying the state of being released.
So I chose an old forest in the deep mountains where there are no wild boars as the release site.
Fang Ye participated in the whole process of helping the snow leopard before and gained a lot of experience.
In cooperation with Wang Yan and their School of Life Sciences, they customized a special gps strap for wild boars, so that after the wild boars are released, they can study their trajectories.
After the wild boar was anesthetized, the gps band was tied.
Taking advantage of the anesthesia, they were put into the transfer cage and carried the wild boar to the predetermined place of release.
