319. Speeches

The Durban University of Technology has six faculties: Accounting and Informatics, Applied Sciences, Art and Design, Engineering and Built Environment, Health Sciences, and Management Sciences.

Rowling belongs to the art and design department, and she led the design of the publicity campaign reported this time, so she didn't spend much money, but everything was very formal.

The event was held in the gymnasium, and there was a large poster at the entrance of a large poster of an antelope made of modules, the modules were small, so from a distance there was nothing wrong with it, it was an antelope, but up close, the modules were cutlets, a butcher's knife - this is an antelope that has been killed and cooked.

There are also some posters inside, the poster inside the stadium is the largest, on which a circle of animals is printed in the pattern of the clock dial, the hands in the middle are shotguns, and the pointers point to six o'clock, of which the animals from one point to six o'clock are extinct, and from seven to twelve o'clock they are selected functional extinction, wild extinction, endangered, lightly endangered, and non-endangered animal images.

Both posters are in black and white, while the others are predominantly colorful, with a patchwork poster consisting of two half-elephant faces, one with a normal elephant face and the other with a scarred and missing ivory.

There is also a poster of a spotted donkey with a vibrant head, but shriveled skin from the neck down, with the phrase "Humans can only see them in museums and fur shops."

Yang Shubao admired these posters and exclaimed: "Rowling, you are amazing, these posters are awesome. ”

His compliment made Rowling proud, and she was about to smile, but after glancing at Nicole, she pouted and said, "It's not just my work, it's me and a lot of my classmates." ”

The event time is half past nine, and from nine o'clock there are intermittent students and teachers entering the gymnasium.

Yang Shubao brought Simba, the silverback gorilla and the giraffe monkey in, and Lucy sat at the door of the gymnasium with the silverback gorilla, she calmed the gorilla and did not move, just breathed softly, and looked like a model.

The students who came in didn't think much about it, they really thought it was a model, and someone went to take pictures before they found it alive, and some students couldn't help but doubt it, but they were quickly rejected by their peers.

There are no gorillas in South Africa, let alone such silverback gorillas?

Not much attention was paid to gorillas, though, and most of the students turned their attention to Simba, Gaffe and quirky little monkeys when they saw them, and they gathered in front of the makeshift lectern to take pictures.

At 9:15, the security guards entered to maintain order, and at this time there were more students who arrived.

Members of the Polytechnic University's Animal Protection Society were all present to assist Yang Shubao in managing the giraffe and Simba, while others began to distribute brochures and mineral water.

Nicole came up with a little golden monkey in her arms and asked, "Are you ready?"

Yang Shubao was a little nervous, and said in a low voice: "What Rowling told me was to come and show the animals and chat casually with the students, I didn't expect this chat to be so large." ”

The gymnasium is a stepped basketball court, and hundreds of students and teachers arrived before the start of the activity, and they found that there were rare animals such as lions, giraffes and golden lion tamarins, and then called their classmates.

Nicole asked, "Can you withstand it?"

Yang Shubao sighed: "If you can't stand it, you have to top it." ”

Fortunately, he has participated in a lot of similar activities, but he is not stage frightened, and there are animals today to share the pressure of his gaze, and there are not many people who really pay attention to him, he really only needs to go on stage and chat a few words.

At half past nine, Rowling took the podium as the host, she introduced Yang Shubao's reserve, and then threw out the theme of today's event, that is, the relationship between wildlife conservation and earth conservation.

Durban Polytechnic University is a prestigious university after all, and the students are very qualified, even if some people are not interested in this kind of topic, they give polite applause, and the atmosphere is very warm.

In the applause, Yang Shubao appeared on the stage, he took the microphone and said a few polite words, and then quickly cut to the topic: "Rowling has already introduced the theme just now, in fact, according to my personal wishes, I would like to change the theme, today we should discuss the relationship between wildlife protection and human survival." ”

"No species is indispensable to the planet. Some species disappear and are immediately replaced, others will spread to others, and only a few species that become extinct could trigger widespread ecosystem collapse. Of course, humans are not of this species. ”

"In short, for the earth, even if the ecosystem completely collapses, it is not its end, and everything will start all over again after tens of millions of years at most. The earth is fragile and can easily be beaten and bruised, but it will never destroy it. ”

"But while the planet can afford an ecosystem collapse, humanity can't. Although the Earth's ecosystems have recovered each time after the collapse of the Earth's ecosystems, the number of species buried each time is innumerable......"

Straight to the point, he threw out the topic and then changed the topic: "Today we are going to discuss the relationship between protecting wildlife and protecting humans, but as I emphasized, let's discuss it, not me to talk about it and listen to it, because the protection of our environment and ecosystem is related to human beings as a whole, in fact, everyone is responsible, but the responsibility is big and small." Now, let me ask if there is any gentleman or lady who would like to inquire about me?"

A girl immediately raised her hand, and Yang Shubao motioned for her to ask a question.

The girl pointed to the giraffe and asked, "Is this a giraffe?"

Yang Shubao shook his head and smiled: "This is a long-necked antelope, not a native species of South Africa, maybe you are a little unfamiliar with it." ”

The girl asked, "Have you had cosmetic surgery on it? Why do you see that its eyes are so big? The eyelashes are so long, like two little fans on the eyes, it's incredible." ”

Hearing this, laughter rang out in the gymnasium.

Yang Shubao also smiled, and he introduced: "Okay, maybe I should introduce these animals first. Of course, I have to answer your question first, of course I didn't operate on it, it grew like this because of the evolution of the species. ”

"You see, the gaffles aren't strong enough, but their meat is delicious, so many carnivores use them as food, and they have big eyes in order to detect predators earlier. ”

"And these animals don't live in rainforest areas, but in arid and semi-arid desert areas, where there are thorny jungles and sand all the time, and long eyelashes help them protect their eyes from thorns or sand. ”

"Any questions?"

"Yes, how good is its meat?"
