Big panda "bodyguard" deciphering national treasure giant panda survival password

When a giant panda "bodyguard" requires not only physical strength, climbing mountains, and being able to resist loneliness, but also to master many "advanced" technologies, such as manipulating drones, can identify maps, but also use GPS systems and infrared infrared Equipment, etc.

In October 2012, the Sichuan Liziping National Nature Reserve in Ya'an City in Ya'an City ushered in the world's first giant panda "Taotao", which was artificially breed and returned. The Sichuan Provincial Department of Forestry, the School of Life Sciences of Xihua Normal University, the Wolong China Protection Giant Panda Research Center, and the National Nature Reserve of Liziping in Sichuan have established a full -time panda monitoring team to open the wild monitoring process of giant pandas.

The monitoring team used the triangle positioning method to search for the trace of giant pandas. To receive the GPS data from the collar of the giant panda, it is necessary to maintain a straight line distance from the signal source not more than 5 kilometers.

Monitoring teams collect giant pandas and animal images in the protected area through infrared cameras. The protected area uses a kilometer grid to designate 480 areas.

Monitoring team members crossed the dense forest to patrol. The team should monitor the survival status and living environment of wild panda in the wild panda and the living environment of wild plants in the protected area. In the past 10 years, the footprints of monitoring staff are all over the mountains and rivers of asbestos, Ganluo, Yuexi and other places; each year, they have an average of 200 days in the field of patrol monitoring in the wild.

The team should monitor the activity area of ​​the giant panda and the living conditions and living environment of wild plants in the protected area. In the past 10 years, the footprints of monitoring personnel have spread throughout asbestos, Ganluo, Yuexi and other places; each year, they have an average of 200 days in the field of patrol monitoring in the wild.

They accurately grasped the activity area of ​​the giant panda, and completed the work of radio monitoring, fresh manure sample collection, ecological environment survey and renovation of giant pandas to provide a lot of effective basic data for the scientific research of the protected area.

They are like "bodyguards", guarding the peace of the panda and the soil and soil.

As the flagship and umbrella species protected by China's endangered species, the wildness of giant pandas plays an important role in the sustainable development of the wild population and achieve the sustainable development of the wild population. Since 2009, 9 giant pandas, including "Luxin" and "Taotao" in Liping Ping. According to the fourth panda population survey data, the number of wild panda populations in China has increased to more than 1,800, and the threat level of pandas is threatened from endangered to danger.

The reporter followed them and embarked on the road of the panda together ...

In this team, there are hunters, workers who were originally cutting wooden, and veterans. Their work is to monitor the activity area of ​​wild giant pandas and the living conditions and living environment of wild plants in the protected area. They also undertake work to prevent theft, poaching and poaching, and forest prevention.

Monitoring team members observe the surrounding terrain through drones. In addition to monitoring the survival status and living environment of wild panda activity areas and the survival environment of wild plants in the protected area, they also assume work to prevent theft, poaching and poaching, and forest prevention and extinguishing.

Researchers extract DNA and other information through giant panda feces. This information can be reflected to a certain extent.

The monitoring team base is located in the mountain dense forest. Working here, you need to be able to hold the loneliness of monitoring personnel

Monitoring team collects giant panda feces information. This work requires a reference object to take pictures and records the relevant information such as coordinates. At the same time, the ecological environment survey and the return of the giant panda will be completed, and a large amount of effective basic data is provided for the scientific research work of the protected area.

Good physical fitness is the basic requirements for monitoring players. When entering the monitoring team, you must first take the 5 -kilometer off -road standard test, which must be completed within 22 minutes.

Daily monitoring generally adopts triangular positioning method, which can more accurately searches the traces of giant pandas. To receive the GPS data from the collar of the giant panda, it must be within 5 kilometers of the signal source. The reckless mountain chasing the "cat" is like catching needles in the sea.

Not only that, they have participated in the two climbing animals surveys, biodiversity monitoring, key areas surveys, mammalian surveys, bird -like surveys, and the monitoring of Drag Mountain Corridor. Provide data support for science and effectively carry out patrols, and improve the efficiency and pertinence of natural resources protection.

In order to monitor biological diversity, the protected area uses a kilometer grid to designate 480 areas. One square kilometer is a area, and infrared equipment is installed in each area. They replace these 480 infrared devices every year.

As the most loyal guardians of giant pandas, they walked through hundreds of square kilometers of monitoring grids all year round, breaking the panda's wild survival password.
