The reporter learned from the Management and Protection Bureau of the National Nature Reserve of the South River River in Yunnan on June 18 that the staff recently found that the infrared monitoring data recently found that the Nanfang River Asian elephant group "Xitian new members".

It can be seen from the on -site screen that at 14:01 on April 22, several wild Asian elephants began to appear. From the body shape, there were three elephants and smaller figures on both ends. On the side of the three -headed elephant, there was a smaller small elephant. The staff judged that the small elephant was born for a few months. In a 17 -minute record screen, this small elephant has been taking care of the elephant and moving slowly.

Since March 2018, the Management and Protection Bureau of Nanfanghe National Nature Reserve has begun to monitor wild Asian elephants in the protected area in the protected area. In 2018 and 2020, the two freshmen are monitored. In the past 4 years, the protected area has been added.

At present, local measures have taken measures to guide the Asian elephant to live in a fixed habitat, build 800 acres of food sources in the experimental area within the habitat, plant bamboo, bananas and other plants, and enhance the food source of the Asian elephant habitat. At the same time, the Asian elephant monitor is established to carry out daily monitoring of Asian elephant security prevention for a long time.

According to reports, in 2019, researchers used non -damage sampling methods in the National Nature Reserve of the South River to obtain a total of 22 unique genotypes of the 117 Asian feces samples collected. The number of species groups is 22 to 28.

Is a serial drama

On June 2, 2021, 15 Asian elephant groups moved north of Yunnan entered the boundary boundary of Jinning District, Kunming City, Yunnan Province. After returning to the original habitat of Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve on December 9, 2021, this group of "Far Visitors" has been stable in the protected area in the protected area. Xiangqun occasionally eats in Linyuan to live in harmony with the surrounding communities.

According to monitoring, the baby born on the journey gradually grows up and has a certain independent ability. In January of this year, the family added another new member. Since then, the elephant group has entered the depths of the forests in the Yangyang District.

Chen Fei, director of the Asian Elephant Research Center of the State Forestry Bureau, said that the story of the Asian elephant group moved north to the north, and the Chinese government's people joined hands with the elephant to protect the elephant and have become a vivid example of China's promotion of harmony between people and nature. Show the beautiful and warm "Chinese sample".

"It is not the end to help this wild elephant successfully go home, and the protection of Asian elephants and their habitats is still far away." Chen Fei said that the Asian elephant has been included in the 48 endangered species of rescue protection during the "Fourteenth Five -Year Plan" period. In the future, as the ecological environment is good, the Asian elephant population will inevitably continue to grow, and there is still a long way to go.

In the past 30 years, with the decline in the total number of Asian elephants worldwide, the number of Chinese -first -level protection of animal wild Asian elephant population has increased from more than 180 to about 300 heads, showing a tendency to gradually increase. However, most of the Asian elephant distribution areas are underdeveloped areas, and the population density of habitats outside the protected area is relatively high. As the number of Asian elephant population increases, the contradictions between people's elephant contradictions, protecting and economic development still need to work unremitting efforts.

Protective managers in the Asian Elephant Distribution Area have continued to improve the quality of habitat by strengthening the protection and recovery of Asian phenomena habitats, while strengthening the construction of monitoring and early warning, safety prevention, and emergency response systems to avoid pitch conflicts to the greatest extent.

Scientists are conducting research on the appropriate analysis of Asian pitch habitats and the protection of Asian pitch's genetic diversity, in order to enhance their understanding of elephants and provide scientific research support for scientific protection of Asian elephants.

The construction of the national park with the Asian elephant as the main protection object has also been on the agenda. The State Forestry and Grassland Bureau and the Yunnan Provincial People's Government will build a co -construction cooperation mechanism for the provincial provincial and provincial provinces, and through integration and optimization of existing habitat scope, establish a unified protection management system, and accelerate the establishment of the Asian Elephant National Park.

"On the basis of protecting the Asian elephant population and its habitat, systematically protects my country's precious tropical rain forest ecosystems and its resources. It is of great significance to establish and improve the long -term mechanism of natural resources and ecological protection." Chen Fei said that in the end, people and elephants have their own place, and people and elephants are symbiosis.Comprehensive from CCTV News, Xinhua News Agency, etc.
