Build a beautiful homeland 丨 the "elephant nanny" in the Nankan River Nature Reserve

The 57 -year -old Yang Hongqiang is the webmaster of the corner management station of the Management and Protection Bureau of the National Nature Reserve of the Nanjan River in Yunnan. Over the past 36 years, his footprints have spread throughout the rainforest, deep ditch and canyon in the south rolling river, guarding the forests and the creators living here.

The south extension part of the Nantou National Nature Reserve in the South River in Yunnan is located in the southern extension of the Yanshan Mountains in Hengduan Mountains. In 1995, the protected area was recognized as a national nature reserve. In 2003, after the successful expansion of the protected area across the Cangyuan Lang Autonomous County and the Gengma Dai Dai Autonomous Autonomous County, the wild Asian elephant in the Nanau River National Nature Reserve in Yunnan was distributed in Cangyuan District.

In 1982, Yang Hongqiang, a young man from the junior high school, went to work in the class of Hongmong and Plant Management Office. Since the end of 1985, his work place has been changed from Banhong Management Station to the Kok Horn Management Station, but the content of the work has always been protected by wild animals and plants.

"Over the years, as the country's protection of wild animals and plants has continued to increase, the number of populations of Asian elephants has increased, and infrared cameras have even photographed Chinese spots and bird cavities in endangered species. The nasal lizard, red ”, etc." Yang Hongqiang said proudly.

During the rainy season, occasionally, the Asian elephant damaged crops. However, with the enhancement of the villagers' self -protection awareness, measures such as strengthening the South River Asian elephant community, monitoring and early warning, habitat construction, and biodiversity protection, Asian elephants and their habitats have been better protected. Lincang City has also formulated and introduced the "Prevention and Emergency Plan for Asian Elephant Elementary School in Cangyuan, Lincang City", etc., and established and improved the prevention and time, efficient and orderly emergency assistance system and operating mechanism of Asian elephants to effectively protect the masses Life property and Asian elephant population safety.

Over the years, it has been patrolling in the forest for not less than 20 days a month. Plant inspections, observing wildlife feces and traces of life such as Asian elephants have changed from work to Yang Hongqiang's hobby. He is most interested in observing the Asian elephant. Because in the key protection area of ​​the biological diversity of the National Nature Reserve in Nanjanhe, the only Asian elephant in the northern Burma group (β) in China has lived in China. For this reason, he also gave himself the name "Elephant nanny".

During the patrol, various wild vegetables such as loquat leaves, water bracken, and banana hearts. The small shrimp and crabs in the river are boiled in the pan and add some salt peppers. This life Yang Hongqiang insisted on 37 years.

Speaking of elephants, Yang Hongqiang is endless: the WeChat name of the WeChat name of Nagata Shihua, the old station of the Management and Guide Bureau, is called the elephant, and his name is the elephant nanny ... For so many years, it has been because of one after another after one after another. The "Yang Hongqiang", the animal and plant groups in the National Nature Reserve of the South River have increased, and the natural environment is getting better and better. The nine village committees of the entire Township of Mengjiao have tourist attractions, and the income of the masses has also increased. Green Water and Qingshan is Jinshan Yinshan to become a consensus, and protecting the ecological environment has become a conscious action of the masses of all ethnic groups.
