What protection do you —
A "Tiger" as storms let wildlife into autumn China the focus of public attention.
However wild animals protection issue is obviously not a little photo so simple. Just as the "South China tigers" and false affects everyone mood, artificial propagation of tiger products to the voice of the circulation channel also seize up. At the same time, open the slaughter and consumption of wild animals, nor the vast travails: Southern newspaper reports, Guangzhou and Foshan game market has since died of SARS, since some sites even paguma larvata played the wholesale national level to protect animals Red Panda. In a forest park, it was found that the famous rare Tragopan being slaughtered for consumption ...We have been called "the wild animal friend of mankind."
But we also often through various channels on them are: hunting indiscriminately, foods, medicine, wildlife trade generates high profits which also stimulate people further on request. In this process, the wild animal homes but little to back it. During the "Tiger as storm", the point was made that the "South China Tiger photos of true and false are not important, it is important to arouse our wildlife conservation concern." In our view, the South China Tiger photos of true and false are key issues, and concerns about wildlife conservation issues are issues of extrusion direction.1 does not have hunt domestic open conditions
Although lawful hunting of wildlife is an important part of the cause, but experts believe that China does not have carried out this activity.
International hunting activities is based on the knowledge of the local population, is fully familiar with the possession of the premise.
For example, aprotection zone around a certain number of animals, among them head of the public, the number of mothers, their age composition, must have detailed information.Species in balance is always the existing law of nature.
Thus, in wildlife conservation, also a link: hunting.International hunting is the use of wild animals is a renewable natural resource of this characteristic, it is reasonable use of purpose, it can reduce the resource consumption, ensure that their own recycling resource animal growth, but also can play out resources maximum efficiency of animals; at the same time rich hunting income, local economic development, make up the masses of pasture herdsmen hunting zones, improve hunting zones masses production level has a great life.
For the international hunting activities, many animal protection experts share their views.
In their view, the wildlife conservation fund raising is difficult. But there is a cycle of wild animals, wildlife protection aspects can use case fatality of wild animals. For example, in some countries the hunt for a golden Takin usually have to pay 2 million or so. But in a crowded grassland, Takin the head if not killed, is also very easy because of the lack of food in winter and starved to death.In August 2006, the China Wildlife Conservation Association announce the hunting right, the auction raises domestic and international media attention, and caused a backlash of public opinion.
Before long, the State Forestry Administration held a news conference, announced the cancellation of auctioning. China's first hunting rights auction abortion. In fact, the domestic hunting activities in expert view, currently there are many indeed.Hunting is internationally one of the wild animal protection measures.
But at the same time, the hunting criteria and rules are very strict. Anyone who wants to be a hunting activities, first obtain a hunting license, and in strict accordance with the licence as provided for in the time, place, variety, quantity to hunt animals. More crucially, the sale of hunting licence income of every penny in a very transparent oversight mechanisms to control, they are used to protect other wild animals. Animal protection experts are concerned that such a system might change in China, "change the taste."To this end, he also said that the international hunting activities is based on the knowledge of the local population, is fully familiar with the possession of the premise.
For example, a protection zone around a certain number of animals, among them head of the public, the number of mothers, their age composition, must have detailed information. "When we talk about animal use, we know how many resources do non he Yong pointed out that the laws and regulations have not yet made the hunting activities, carried out this activity in a hurry can easily lead to serious problems.2 game full of dangerous temptation
Sold on the market, a significant portion of the snake are wild.
A large number of wild snakes and turtles and a Chinese dinner table game and tonic.
According to statistics, the average number of weekly to 10 tons of wild turtles in China was sold throughout the market. Snake's national trade volumes per year more in million tons. They should not have access to trade links.In August 2003, the State Forestry Administration publishes 54 species of artificial domestication and breeding technology is mature, commercial domestication and breeding and management and utilization of terrestrial wildlife list.
This 54 species of wild animals from then you can enter theTrade links. "But this 54 species of wild animals not all Chinese endemic species such as blue Peacock is not a country. " East China Normal University, College of life sciences, Professor Xuhongfa stressed that this addition allows trade 54 species of wild animals, mainly at the moment we are in captivity, but relatively successful. "There is no need to open to catch, Almqvist captive to meet market demand. ”However, the desire and the fact that the difference between always so few steps.
Now domestic wildlife trade links, 54 species of wild animals of the species will also appear. One of the most typical are reptiles, snakes and turtles.A large number of snakes and turtles become Chinese dinner table game and tonic.
According to statistics, the average number of weekly to 10 tons of wild turtles in China was sold throughout the market. Snake's national trade volumes per year more in million tons. In fact, the history of eating wild animal for a long time. The Western Han dynasty records Huainan child: "the more a man goes on a snake that ground zero. " Here's the" motive snake "is what we are now talking about Sze.Edible species endangered wildlife emergencies.
Prior to this, the media, the world's most rare and one of the birds, crested terns are under the threat of human appetite. Despite the adverse conditions on Typhoon crested tern existence brings, but locals eat of this species is to bring greater threat. Southeastern coastal fishermen always pick up the habit of eating eggs, and that wild birds ' eggs and egg than home more nutritious.In fact, the problem of eating wild animals in China is very serious, this traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese are closely related.
Our known medicinal animals more than 1500 species of vertebrates, which accounts for 60 percent of the Chinese protected animal catalogue "in 40 per cent of animals is considered to be used as intermediate."However, is the basis of traditional Chinese medicine theory and harmony between man and nature.
He Yong "that TCM is now at home and abroad have been very good development. However, to gain international recognition of the medical profession more, wildlife protection is also indispensable.3
Animal protection experts pointed out that, in fact, the expansion of the population has become the culture to exert pressure on the sector.
Since China had acceded to the Convention, it should be determined to end the artificial propagation of Tiger's industry.When it comes to rare animals medicine problems, first is the Tiger.
Tiger is all major medicinal animals most famous one, Tiger is the most famous one of animal medicines.In 1990, the save the Tiger Fund Tiger expert Judy ·
Mir Shi (JudyMills) once to some artificial breeding base Amur Tigers. For these companies, Judy confession or more familiar.China's Tiger industrial artificial propagation began in 1986.
With China's accession to CITES Convention on international trade, the Chinese Government issued the ban on Tiger trade in rhinoceros horn and circular banning all trade in Tiger. "At that time, the entire international community to consider raising the Tiger's behavior has disabled. " Judy said.But the fact is that some breeding base are also continuing to expand the tiger population.
When looking at China artificial reproduction of tiger populations increasing, Judy, and other experts in the international protection organizations began to worry about: "we would recommend that the crisis facing business, hope they can stop propagation. In order to reduce the pressure of feeding the Tiger, otherwise continue is unreasonable. "But it is not seen by Judy captive Tigers the reduction in the number of stable even, but farmed Tigers sprawl.In addition to the artificial breeding base, increased captive Tigers live, dead Tiger is also growing.
At present, light Harbin Northeast Siberian Tiger Park, cold storage, has frozen the 200 dead Tiger. For this reason, some Tiger field constantly to the relevant competent authorities, on the ban on Tiger trade during the season. An animal protection expert pointed out that in fact expand populations have become the breeder to pressure a way: "keep so many Tiger gonna do this is the core of the problem!"Experts noted that China had acceded to the Convention, it should put an end to the artificial propagation of Tiger's industry.
The international community are such examples. More than a decade ago, Kenya's President Moise ordered to ten tons of ivory burned out, to show their commitment to the protection of elephants. Since they are they from ivory poachers Department seized.But Judy, China's Tiger breeding base has been unwilling to accept the recommendations of international organizations, to take measures to stop breeding, because they always want to ban to season again.
"The key now is to let the tiger farms is aware that the ban was absolutely impossible. " Judy pointed out that, at this point, the competent authorities of the importance of attitude.Wild tiger breeding base self defence for another reason.
"But this is almost impossible. " The International Fund for animal welfare and public affairs officer, he pointed out that many countries are conducting Tiger wild experiment, but has never been successfully achieved. Under natural conditions, Tiger's many acts are passed from parents to learn there. In artificial propagation conditions, this learning was completely disrupted.4
Worldwide, almost all of the large mammals have been
Too because serious excessive hunting as a result of declining, such as whales, deer, rhino, bison, bears, wolves, Tibetan antelope, etc. And wildlife trade has become our country as well as global biodiversity important threat.In fact, Judy appreciated the Chinese Government in wild tiger's efforts and results achieved.
"China in the world play an important role, especially in the field of environmental protection. " China's wild tiger habitat and prey protection into a great strength, also effective anti-poaching work, makes it Russia far East and India in parts of the number of Wild Tigers to maintain stability. "All efforts of the Government of China. ”Help protect Tiger, also is to help neighbouring countries in the protection of the Tiger, it has almost become a consensus.
"But on the contrary, once the season starts on Tiger trade in China, will also be a threat to the neighboring countries," Judy pointed out that the whole world is concerned about these Tiger breeding base might have on the threats posed by wild tigers.This doesn't seem to be very easy to understand, how artificial reproduction activities affecting wild tigers? in Judy, and other experts, the problem is that once the trade in tiger products, Tiger, by season wild tigers will soon disappear.
After all, the wild tiger poaching than captive Tiger costs low, so a more wild tiger poaching profitable. Secondly, from the wild tiger Tiger generally are considered more effective, than from the captive Tiger Tiger, "always been pursuing the efficacy of tiger bone. ”"In economic development, spending power surge in China, rekindle had to tiger products market demand will quickly lead to many wild tiger population extinction.
He Yong ", pointed out that trade in captive tiger products will be illegal for legalized sales of tiger products provide an opportunity to end illegal tiger products and legitimate tiger products difficult to distinguish.Judith, China wild tiger conservation efforts have done so much, despite the low number of tigers in the wild, but for the wildlife conservation work, whenever not too
late, "really still have hope." "The world's people will want to help China to protect wild tiger population, while the Chinese to do that, first of all to stop the propagation, thereby gradually close breeding base. " Judy said.In fact, the wildlife trade threats and not just wild tigers.
Worldwide, almost all of the large mammals have been too because serious excessive hunting as a result of declining, such as whales, deer, rhino, bison, bears, wolves, Tibetan antelope, etc. And wildlife trade has become our country as well as global biodiversity important threat.On this, Acer, said that for each species, the uncontrolled trade will make their populations decline.
And wildlife trade is a complex area that needs to be seen by a wide variety of situations. At present, the normal trade in wildlife is part of the daily trading, similar clothes, shoes, this type of trading products, "However for endangered animals, is strictly prohibited. ”As early as the 1980s, China has already become an endangered species of wild fauna and Flora International Trade Convention.
This Convention requires all States to always hold wildlife trade. "States are on wildlife trade situation monitoring, once found a decline in the number, it will take measures. " Xu hongfa pointed out that domestic also has the corresponding institutions in the supervision of a wildlife trade.■ Extension
Wildlife conservation success stories
Siberian tiger Panthera tigrisaltaica
"In the wild tiger is concerned, Russia is a good example.
" Judy said. 50 years ago, Russia Siberian Tiger wild (Tiger) only 30-40 head, now is the 500 Bull. 50 years turned over 10 times.Russia to increase Tiger Habitat range, the Tiger habitats Uni
com together, on the whole environment of the natural resources had a very good management. In addition, work on monitoring has also done a very good grasp within tiger habitat.Russia takes "-like" survey methodology, which is in the reserve of 16 regional routes, reasonable within design covers all regional, usually in winter snow, people walking along-like lines, acquisition of animal footprints on both sides, according to the information and determine a footprint in the region the density of different animals.
This kind of monitoring and management methods make like hunting Russia were still able to hunt activities, only the number of hunting is under protection of the species area monitoring that number.Grizzly bear Ursus arctos
In fact, just stop the hunt, and then on the protection of the invested a certain amount of money and intensity, the "wild animals can be restored.
" Grizzly at United States as the largest" harm animals. " They wantonly killing around the bear. Later, when they realized that bear populations are extremely endangered, quickly stopped their behavior and to remedy the error. Bear this species has finally been restored, "the protection of wild animals, when intervention is not too late. ”Elephas Elephas maximu
s"For a long time, people always think that wild animals and the people's interests are contradictory.
He Yong ", pointed out that in fact this kind of human and animal relationships can be solved. Asian elephants, mainly living in the forest and jungle, often at an altitude of 1000 m gully, the river and broad-leaved forest activities is a large terrestrial herbivorous mammals. Asia like our level 1 wildlife, is the International Union for the conservation of natural resources as an endangered species. At present, China's wild populations of Asian elephants in the total quantity estimated 200-250 head.However, in the protection of Asian elephants in Yunnan province, often Asian elephants trample farmers ' crops, they taste sweet corn, and often peeling corn, to local crops had a large impact.
To this end, the International Fund for animal welfare advocates to local farmers for microcredit in the hope that they changed the way of tea. "It turns out, the contradiction between man and elephant was part of the solution. " He pointed out that, despite the growth in the tea has just the Asian elephants will Stampede, but tea is not tasty, Asian elephants won't use it as their" meal ", this would not be to bring great losses of farmers, thus guaranteed the Asian elephants and harmony between people.■ Link
