I have been in Kunming over the years | Rwanda international students met the "insect world" in Kunming

[Open bar] For a moment of time, Kunming seized the advantages of the frontier city of the “Belt and Road”, and achieved great changes in ten years. More and more foreigners came to Kunmeng. From now on, the Kunming Daily will open a column of "New Era of Entrusted a New Journal to Jianjian · I have been in Kunming" to show the development and achievements of Kunming with the personal experience of foreign friends who live and work in Kunming.

There is no heat in the summer, no severe cold in winter, blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green mountains. The average annual temperature of 16.5 ° C allows Kunming to enjoy the reputation of "Spring City". The dense forest vegetation has giving birth to a variety of animals and plants, including insects. In 2017, Rwanda's international student Aili came to Kunming and began a PhD in agricultural insects and pest control degrees at the School of Botanical Protection of the Yunnan Agricultural University. On the land of Kunming, he met China's "insect world".

Little insects "greatly do"

A good natural environment made Aili feel excited. He was not satisfied with various insect specimens in the laboratory, but instead opened his legs to explore the "insect world" in Yunnan.

As a insect enthusiast, Aili kept paying attention to insects all the time during his doctoral degree. In the process of exploring the world of insects in Yunnan, he found a moth that was bigger than his face, and found the thrips that were almost invisible to the naked eye.

The strange form and the footprint of God's ghost make people always "talk about the color of insects", but in the eyes of Aili, the insect world is the best existence in the world.

On October 15, 2021, the first phase of the Fifteenth Meeting (COP15) Conference of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (COP15) was held in Kunming.

Aili believes that this is a large platform that allows people of all countries to communicate with each other and formulate long -term planning, and it is also a good opportunity to show biodiversity. Aili said that many people "talk about insect color changes" is because of lack of understanding of insects, insects are actually important bonds to maintain biological diversity. In order to let more people understand insects, Aili actively participates in various volunteers activities, enters the school for children's popular science insect knowledge, and helps people know insects.

According to Aili, insects bear the responsibility of pollination and decomposition organic matter, and cannot simply define them with "pests" or "pests". Without insects, biological diversity will be severely damaged. Taking cockroaches as an example, it hates many people's hearts, but the feces of cockroaches are actually conducive to plant growth. Ai Li said: "Insects have their" cute ", we must protect them with our heart."

Explore and protect biological diversity

In recent years, Kunming has taken a step in ecological protection and cultivated land protection, creating a good habitat environment for various creatures.

The continuous development trend of the ecological environment allows Aili to see the feasibility of "governing insects" green biological control technology in Kunming.

艾力回忆说：“十年前，昆明已有部分农户开始通过'以虫治虫'的方式进行病虫害防治，但因为各种原因，该技术未得到广泛推行。”刚到昆明学习时，他发现Most farmers still kill pests in the way of spraying pesticides directly. This approach will not only cause the pests to produce resistance, but also pollute the body and soil.

In recent years, Aili has discovered that the green biological control technology of "governing insects" has been widely used in agricultural production in Kunming. The Biobi Biotechnology Innovation Center has built the largest "natural enemy insect factory" in the southwest. Through the "biological prevention" method, it is a green prevention of 4 million acres of farmland a year. The earth enriches the content of the green prevention and control technical content of the pests and insect pests in Yiliang County ...

"Everyone should take action and explore the protection of biological diversity together." At present, Aili's study at Yunnan Agricultural University has come to an end. Although there is all kinds of reluctance, in order to better give back to the knowledge you learned these years Alei decided to go to other countries to help the world become better.
