Chapter 26 Umbrella Species and Flagship Species

[There was a minor adjustment at the end of the previous chapter, and the wild panda hugged his legs, which seemed a little unreasonable, so it was changed. 】

The panda is named in a similar way to a police dog, and some of the names are more strange, and the breeder can also give the panda a nickname that is easy to call, such as Qiaoqiao.

On the afternoon of September 15th, the first batch of four three-month-old children: Qiaoqiao, Zhang Ka, Sabi, and Yueyue, officially enrolled in the small class of [Experimental Kindergarten].

The exhibition area of 4 small rolling is about 200 square meters, and there are all kinds of grass amusement equipment, and Zhu Tong also brought a wooden horse to Qiaoqiao. 6 trees 3 to 5 meters high, 2 clusters of bamboo bushes that pandas don't like to eat, purely for decoration......

Among the 4 full-time breeders, in addition to the youngest, Zhu Tong, who raised pandas for the first time, there are 2 wet nurses and a dad, all of whom are in their thirties and belong to the more experienced breeders in the base.

It is precisely because of experience that it is not strange to see that Lu, Zheng's mother and Zhang's father sit in the office most of the time, and only when they are fed or found that there is a problem with the kitten from the monitoring, they go into the exhibition area to deal with it.

It's not lazy, pandas are raised like this, not to mention that the three nurses and dads don't only have this batch of three-month-old kittens in their hands.

And Zhu Tong, who has not been in the company for a long time, is different, he treats Qiaoqiao as his heart, and he doesn't worry about it leaving his sight for a moment, and has been staying in the exhibition area.

With her was an assistant breeder who didn't know what to do.

There is a live broadcast in the zoo panda museum, but the so-called live broadcast is actually a monitoring screen, non-profit without reward, many panda fans look at the long-distance and monotonous monitoring picture and suck it up, it is not enjoyable at all, many times can only rely on the brain to make up.

Ji An made a request to the old man that day, only saying that he wanted to open a kindergarten, but did not say that he would do a live broadcast. Because he knew that it was useless to say it, and even if the old man had agreed, someone would still come to trouble him in two days.

The three-month-old kitten gradually begins to show its personality. Qiao Qiao was naughty and mischievous, and he went up to bully them as soon as he met with the other three friends, and he had been educated by Zhu Tong a few times, but it was still useless, so Zhu Tong had to hold it temporarily.

The kitten is clingy, there are Ji An and Zhu Tong in the exhibition area, Zhu Tong has been occupied by Qiao Qiao, and the other three come to harass Ji An together, he has two hanging on his legs, and he also plays with one in his hand, which makes the panda fans in the live broadcast room envious.

Unlike the big cats, which have oily and slippery fur, the kittens are a little rough and look fluffy. The one Ji An played with in his hand was called Yueyue, and his personality was relatively timid, and in the hands of Ji An, who met him for the first time, he was shy to cover his dark circles with two small paws and curl up in a ball.

"Oh my God, my heart is going to break. ”

"Hahaha, the cub bear is shy. ”

"My little brother is so happy, and I really want to have a few black and white dumplings hanging on me. ”

"I really envy my brother's work, and it's heart-warming enough to give it cuteness. ”

"The quality of the anchor's picture is really good, and from the first point of view, it feels like I'm feeling like I'm rolling. ”

"Go to his zoo live broadcast, I'll watch the little brother's live broadcast in the future, the little rocket will go a wave~"

ID floats on the water: "Please, wake up, brains." Giant pandas are completely officially hyped up to cheat us out of taxpayers' money, and there is no practical point in raising such animals. Giant pandas are scarce because this ancient species is doomed to be eliminated by natural selection, so why waste money to protect them?"

The black panda jumped out of the water, and was immediately attacked by many panda fans, and tons of saliva drowned over, but no one could refute him head-on.

Regarding the question of "what is the significance of protecting giant pandas", in fact, Ji An also wants to know. He is friendly to pandas, just out of his love for round-headed round-headed black-and-white dumplings, and believes that 90% of panda fans are in the same situation as him, as for what the meaning is, he has never thought about it.

Floating on the water "stubbornly" surfaced from the submerged saliva of panda powder, and sent three barrages in a row: "The brain is really incurable, if you say it, I'll spray me, and that's all you can do, who has the ability to say why to refute me!"

"Is there any?I asked, is there any?!"

"Why don't you make a sound? Didn't you just spray me? If you think I'm talking nonsense, please correct me, and I apologize to everyone!"

Ji An raised his eyebrows unhappily, this guy came to his live broadcast room to talk nonsense, and asked him if he was the anchor?

But how to refute it, Ji An doesn't know. After thinking for a while, his eyes fell on Zhu Tong.

Although Zhu Tong is the youngest among the employees of the base, she is also 26 years old, with a graduate degree, and the entry assessment stands out from 200 competitors, and her professional knowledge is undoubted, Ji An doesn't believe that she can't extinguish what kind of water floats.

Ji An wore a pair of black-framed glasses and pretended to be smart glasses, he just told Zhu Tong about the live broadcast, Zhu Tong has no opinion, there is already a live broadcast in the panda pavilion, and she hopes that the more people who pay attention to the giant panda, the better.

"What's the point of protecting giant pandas, you ask?" was quiet for a while in the live broadcast room because of the clamor floating on the water, and Ji An said suddenly.

Zhu Tong listened to him and looked puzzled, Ji An gestured to the "smart glasses", repeated what Shui Piao said just now, and continued: "Sister Zhu, you come to teach him a lesson." ”

After Zhu Tong listened, the black giant panda floating on the water, she was not angry, smiled and showed two buck teeth, and patiently explained: "If you want to understand the significance of protecting giant pandas, you must first understand the two concepts of 'umbrella species' and 'flagship species'.

Umbrella species refer to those species whose habitat needs can cover the needs of many other species, and can provide protection for other species at the same time.

For example, the living environment of whales covers the living environment of many fish and aquatic animals, and protecting the living environment of whales also provides a protective umbrella for other fish and aquatic animals.

The giant panda is a typical umbrella species that protects the giant panda, not only for this species, but also for many other species in the giant panda's habitat.

And the flagship species should be the umbrella species first, and then, it must be as iconic as the flagship, and the core of this iconic species is to be able to get the most recognition from the most people, to arouse the compassion of the most people, and to put it bluntly, it must be able to win the most people to directly or agree to provide protection funds. Therefore, they should be large, and at the same time they should be either powerful or cute, and they should be eye-catching enough.

Pandas are undoubtedly the most of this trait.

Also, it is not correct to say that giant pandas were eliminated by natural selection. Once inhabited by southern China, giant pandas are now endangered because their habitat is declining due to human activities. ”

Next, there was no need for Ji Anduo to say anything, after this crisp and loud slap, Shui Piao disappeared and never appeared in the live broadcast room again.

Ji An: He was muffling and calculating the various rewards that were floating like snowflakes......
