Fishermen release 16 pounds of turtles, suspected of harmful species!What should I do?There are "Measures" here!

Recently, fishermen in Siyang County, Suqian, Jiangsu, missed the Florida crickets caught by wild turtles (Chinese tadpoles). The fisherman calls the "turtle" of nearly 60 cm and weighs about 16 pounds. Due to the misunderstanding of the species, it was mistaken for the foreign invasion creatures to naturally. Faced with this dilemma, the local town government has organized personnel to track the pupa within the waters, hoping to find this tadpole as soon as possible.

As soon as this news came out, many enthusiastic netizens worried that the release of the release will destroy the local ecological environment.

Some readers may be puzzled, what is the origin of Florida?

Florida is native to southern United States and lives in freshwater waters such as lakes and rivers. They live with meat and usually like to prey in fish and shrimp and various small aquatic creatures. After being introduced into China, the Florida was introduced to China. Due to the high economic benefits, the scale of farming expanded rapidly, and the farm spread throughout 16 provinces and cities across the country.

However, Florida 来, as a foreign invasion, cannot be released at will. There are no natural enemies in China, so the number of Florida crickets in the region can grow rapidly in a short period of time, which will not only affect local biodiversity, but also cause serious damage to the local ecological environment.

There has never been a trivial matter to prevent and control biological invasion. We need to plan to resist species of invasion from the institutional level, and build a strong Great Wall that protects national food security and ecological safety.

Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and the General Administration of Customs jointly released the "Administrative Measures for Migraphic Invasion Species" (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures"). The "Measures" that will be implemented from August 1st this year will provide key guidance nationwide in the prevention, monitoring and early warning, and reimbursement of governance. The promulgation of the Measures not only improves the management system of foreign invasion species, but also strengthens the full chain prevention and control and control nationwide.

What are the details worth our attention in the "Measures"?

l The background of the "Measures" introduced

The invasion of foreign species is related to national food security, biological security and ecological safety. The "Biological Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" clearly stipulates that "the country strengthens the prevention and response of foreign species invasion to protect biodiversity. The competent agricultural and rural departments of the State Council will formulate a list of foreign invasion species and management measures with other relevant relevant departments of the State Council."

In recent years, with the increasing frequent commodity trade and personnel exchanges in my country, the spread of foreign invasion species has become more diverse and concealed. Most invasive species can find a suitable living environment in my country. Once it is fixed, it is difficult to eradicate the difficulty and seriously affect the invasion land. The ecological environment damage the sustainable development of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fisheries.

L what is "foreign invasion species"?

According to the "Measures", foreign invasion species refer to species that have no natural distribution in the People's Republic of China and pass through natural or artificial channels, including all parts of the species that may survive and reproduce. Such species will threaten and harm the ecosystems, habitats, and species in my country, which will not only affect my country's ecological environmental safety, but also damage the sustainable development of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery. Common foreign invasive species include grassy moths, potato beetles, red fire ants, water gourds, Fushou snails, crocodile birds, dolphin grass ...

l What principles and methods should be followed by preventing foreign invasion species?

The principles include risk prevention, source control, comprehensive governance, collaborative cooperation, and public participation.

This requires policy performers at all levels to highlight key areas and key links, strengthen joint prevention, joint control, group defense and group governance through improvement of management systems, and comprehensively improve the management level of foreign invasion species.

The method is to supervise the full chain, clarify the division of responsibilities, and guide the public to participate.

l Regarding the source prevention, what are the specific requirements of the Measures?

The "Measures" mainly put forward clear requirements for strengthening the source prevention from three aspects.

The first is to regulate the management of species. Due to special needs such as variety cultivation to introduce foreign species such as crops and forest seeds seedlings, and aquatic seedlings, they shall apply for import approval and quarantine approval in accordance with the approval authority. If the species belongs to the first introduction, the introduction unit shall conduct risk analysis and submit a risk assessment report to the approval department to ensure that the introduction of species will not bring obvious risks to my country's ecological environment security. If the species will bring a clear ecological risk, the introduction unit should prevent it from escaping and spread to the field environment.

The second is to strengthen port prevention and control. Customs should strengthen the prevention and control of the port, crack down on illegal introduction, carry, send, and smuggle foreign species, and deal with the discovered foreign invasive species in accordance with the law.

The third is to strengthen domestic quarantine. The competent departments of agricultural rural areas at or above the county level strengthen the supervision of quarantine supervision of cross -regional transportation crops and forest seeds seedlings, plant products, aquatic seedlings, etc. to prevent foreign invasion and spread.

l "Measures" how to regulate the monitoring and early warning of species invasion of external invasion?

In order to strengthen the monitoring and early warning of foreign invasion species and timely grasp the condition of foreign invasion species in a timely manner, the "Measures" mainly made three aspects.

The first is to carry out investigation and monitoring. Establish a census and monitoring system for foreign invasion species, organize a national census every ten years, build a surveillance network of foreign invasion species at all levels across the country, and carry out normalized monitoring. No unit or individual shall not hide or report monitoring information, or publish monitoring information without authorization.

The second is to issue early warning forecasts. The competent departments such as agricultural rural areas, forestry grasslands, and customs at the provincial level shall strengthen monitoring information sharing, analyze and judge the occurrence of foreign invasion species, spread the trend, timely release early warning forecasts, and guide prevention and control.

The third is to regulate information release. The overall situation of foreign invasion of foreign invasion was uniformly released by the relevant departments of the agricultural and rural ministries. The occurrence of external invasion species in relevant areas shall be released by relevant departments of the State Council in accordance with their responsibilities and power. Relevant departments of the provincial agricultural and rural authorities uniformly released the situation of invasion species outside the administrative area.

l Regarding the reimbursement of governance, what are the clear stipulations of the Measures?

In order to effectively promote the restoration of foreign invasion species, the Measures stipulate that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Ministry, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and the State Forestry and Cao Bureau shall formulate strategies for preventing and controlling the prevention and control of foreign invasion species in accordance with the division of responsibilities.

Agricultural and rural areas, natural resources, forestry grasslands and other levels in various places shall formulate prevention and control measures in combination with actual conditions to formulate prevention and control and control measures.

The governance of foreign invasion of plants can adopt measures such as artificial removal, mechanical removal, spraying green agents, and release of biological natural enemies according to the actual conditions of the seedling period, flowering period or strong period.

The treatment of foreign pests to invade diseases and insect pests should be adopted to adopt measures such as anti -disease insect species, seedling treatment, physical removal, chemical elimination, and biological control to effectively prevent the spread of pests and insect pests.

The governance of an invasion of aquatic animals should take targeted fishing and other measures to prevent its further diffusion of harm.

l how to gradually implement the details in the "Measures"?

The first is to do a good job of publicity and interpretation. Adopt online and offline combination, conduct professional training and policy interpretations of relevant departments at all levels across the country, effectively improve the supervision and management capabilities in accordance with the law, and enhance the global awareness of national ecological security protection. At the same time, the production and distribution forms and easy -to -understand popular science propaganda materials have enhanced the public's awareness of prevention and control of species from invasion of the public.

The second is to promote the census of foreign invasion species. In areas such as farmland, fishery waters, forests, grasslands, wetlands, and major entry ports, accelerate the implementation of census census for foreign invasion species, and understand the number, distribution range, and degree of harm of foreign invasion species in my country.

The third is to strengthen the governance of foreign invasion species. Dividends and divide the species to formulate prevention and control guidelines, clarify key periods, key areas and main measures to prevent and control, strengthen policy support and technical guidance for governance work, and take comprehensive measures to effectively manage foreign invasion species.
