Chapter 762: Poor Dark Circles Family
(Thanks to the lollipop of the Friends Love Technique Reward)
After hearing Liu Yunxuan's explanation, Lorenzo's heart was finally more comfortable. He really didn't want the species he was committed to protecting to become the playthings of the rich.
"Mr. Andy, if this little dolphin can really stay with you, can our association arrange for someone to come and observe for a while and make some records for them?" Lorenzo said softly as he returned to the tent.
The whole island is people's private territory, and the armed men who came here with loaded guns were not decorations. Moreover, when he was on the plane, he also heard the pilot's answer to the island tower and knew that the defense of the island was very tight.
If you want to do some research on someone's private territory, you have to ask for the consent of the owner. This has nothing to do with national security, otherwise it would be difficult for you to put up a big reason.
"Mr. Lorenzo, there's nothing wrong with that." Liu Yunxuan thought for a moment and said, "But you'd better fix your personnel, and we will also conduct background checks on your personnel." ”
"Forgive me for being so blunt, as you are aware of the tragedy that took place on my island a few months ago. These are for the safety of the people on the island. ”
"You can rest assured, we will definitely do a good job of filing in this regard." Lorenzo said happily.
He wouldn't think about what Liu Yunxuan would do to keep the little dolphin now, anyway, if he could follow and observe at that time, he would be able to grasp the first-hand information, which was much better than fooling around in the dark before.
"By the way, listen to my wife, the population of this vaquita is very small. Less than 200 heads? Liu Yunxuan asked curiously.
Although Michelle also looked up some information, she didn't know as much about it as Lorenzo, who specialized in this conservation work. He has now named Fangfang the little dolphin with black circles as his own, and it seems to be a limited edition.
"It's nice to have 120 now." Lorenzo shook his head and sighed. "In fact, back in 2005, we set up a shelter for them to survive better, and we banned any commercial fishing in the area. And more than $30 million has been invested to compensate fishermen. ”
"But we were so optimistic at the time that we thought we had such protections. The vaquita population is expected to grow at least 4% per year, but who knows that it will plummet at an annual decline rate of 18.5%. ”
"How can it be so strict? Is someone preying on this cute little one? Hearing the numbers reported by Lorenzo, Liu Yunxuan hurriedly asked.
At first, he didn't pay much attention to the small amount Michelle said, thinking that it was due to the limited living area they had. However, such a large proportion of deaths will definitely not be due to the influence of the natural living environment, and the biggest is the human factor.
"In fact, the sharp decline in the vaquita population is entirely due to the totoaba that lives in the same area as them." Lorenzo shook his head and said, "Over the years, there has been a dramatic increase in the illegal fishing of totoaba with gillnets. Vaquita is also caught a lot. ”
Lorenzo glanced at Liu Yunxuan and then continued, "In fact, this kind of totoaba swim bladder is the most marketable in China, and many of the swim bladders are directly exported to China. Because of its medicinal value, it can be sold for thousands of dollars. With such a high price, few fishermen can resist the lure. Confused. ”
He didn't know if Liu Yunxuan had also taken the swim bladder of this totoaba fish. Because the nutritional value of this swim bladder is too high, and it has miraculous effects on some diseases. Such a high price is generally only available to the rich.
Liu Yunxuan really doesn't know much about this. Where has he ever taken any expensive health care products, with space water and space dishes, which are stronger than any health care products.
But listening to Lorenzo's words, he also understands the same. This totoaba should be a close relative of the famous yellow-lipped fish in China. Because this yellow-lipped fish is sold so expensive, the most important thing is its swim bladder.
Fishermen take risks and fish illegally for the greater good. This vaquita is the fish that was affected after the fire at the city gate.
"So since the current situation is so bad, aren't you thinking of other countermeasures?" Liu Yunxuan asked again.
"We've tried other things, but they've all been in vain. Unless there is a total ban on fishing in these areas. The situation can only be improved by intensifying patrols at sea and on shore. Lorenzo said.
"This is a very difficult decision, and such a ban would hurt all fishermen, including those who are not involved in illegal fishing. But if we don't, we're going to lose these vaquitas forever by 2018. ”
"I just observed that it was a young female dolphin who came to you. I also hope that you can add a little more protection to it, because in this population. The proportion of female dolphins is not high anymore. ”
Liu Yunxuan nodded and didn't say anything, since he regarded the dark circles as his own. Then nature will give it the best care. No animal has ever been wronged in their own home, and even the two mischievous little bald eagles live comfortably.
Lorenzo didn't stay here for long, and after making sure that the dolphin was indeed a vaquita, he completed his mission for the time being. He also had to go back and select people to come and observe this pure wild, he was afraid that he would come too late and the little dolphin would slip away again.
"Yun Xuan, what can we do for these dolphins?" After Lorenzo left, Michelle hugged Liu Yunxuan's arm and said.
"Michelle, we will definitely do what we can do. But some things are also affected by objective factors. Liu Yunxuan looked at Michelle's eyes and said seriously, "Lorenzo also said just now, the dark circles under the eyes are female, and if we want it to give birth, we have to find a male." ”
"It's only more than 100 heads, and it's so widely distributed, I'm afraid we don't have the luck to run into the other one. If I let the dark circles go out and play casually, I'm worried that I'll be caught. ”
The reason why it is so difficult to protect endangered species is that they are hunted illegally and that their ability to reproduce is reduced. I can't say that I will have to choose a husband with black circles in the Gulf of California in the future.
No matter how big the difficulty is, it has to be solved slowly. The primary goal now is to make dark circles grow healthily. Let's talk about the rest later, and I guess Lorenzo and they will help find a way when the time comes.
After coming out of the tent, Liu Yunxuan also gave everyone a general overview of the current situation of the survival of dark circles, and everyone was embarrassed to hear it. It is precisely because of the cuteness of the dark circles under their eyes that it reflects the hardships of their survival. The three little babies also know a little bit about things. After hearing what happened to the same kind of people with dark circles, he also sniffled a little.
"Okay, it's not too early, let's put the grill up, come over once, we have to have a good time." And if the dark circles are to live on our side in the future. It's going to be a lot of fun. Liu Yunxuan clapped his hands and greeted everyone and said.
There were no workers with Moss at the barbecue dinner this time, there were too many people, and this time it was to greet these Korean friends. And I got a lot of spices for them last time, so I can bake them whenever I want to.
"Andy oppa, can I take a few pictures with dark circles?" Liu Yunxuan was fiddling with the grill. IU leaned over and said.
"It's okay, just go ahead, just don't scare the dark circles with too many people at one time." Liu Yunxuan said with a smile.
The dark circles under the eyes are like it when I look at it, not to mention these girls who are overflowing with love. Now Michelle needs to take care of Xiao Afu and can't do anything, otherwise it is estimated that she should go into the water again.
"Andy, you're pretty good on this island. Now I find that I feel like I'm a little worse than you when it comes to enjoyment. Seeing that people were all going to take pictures with the little dolphins, Mansour said while giving Liu Yunxuan a hand.
His own money is much more than Liu Yunxuan. But now in terms of eating, playing, and living, it seems that Liu Yunxuan has really surpassed him.
"What is this like?" Liu Yunxuan glanced at him and said, "I'm all surface light." Those brothers and sisters who don't have you have a lot of money, and now they have to carefully sum up everything they do. ”
"When I don't spend as much money as you do, it's about the same if you tell me that. Otherwise, I'd think you're making fun of me. ”
The two of them don't go outside, they all want to say something, and they also make some small jokes when they are fine. After coming to Liu Yunxuan's side, Mansur basically left behind his identity as a prince except for formal occasions. It's no different from everyone.
There aren't a lot of people today, so he grills all the skewers. Everyone was eating barbecue and drinking beer. Occasionally, I can listen to IU songs, which is very pleasant.
Dark circles are also unwilling to be lonely. As if you can understand the beat of music, you jump up in the sea from time to time. After hearing the IU soar high, it also jumped higher.
"I'm really reluctant to leave here." Liu Zaishi came to Liu Yunxuan's side with a bottle of beer and sat down and said, "Whether it's in the ranch or on the island, I haven't stayed enough. ”
Although he and Liu Yunxuan were already very casual, but because Mansur was also beside him, he still had to pay attention to some etiquette, because after all, he was the identity of a prince, and Liu Yunxuan's family had never cared.
"Come back when you have the opportunity in the future, as long as you have program ideas, I am always welcome here, even if I am not in the ranch." Liu Yunxuan said after taking a sip of beer.
"It's hard to do a show in the future, unless you have some super big event here, otherwise there will be basically no chance." Liu Zaishi shook his head and said.
No matter how fun it is here, the show can only be done for one episode, if you come over often, one is a problem of funding, and the other will make the audience have aesthetic fatigue.
"By the way, this time the program team plans to donate 10 million won to your safari park, although it is not a lot, and I hope to make some contribution to the protection of wild animals. We'll call the money when we get back to Korea. Liu Zaishi continued. Just now I heard Liu Yunxuan introduce the experience of the race with dark circles, and it was really touching.
Liu Yunxuan nodded and did not refuse, this is the donation of the program group, and it is not a small amount, nearly 10,000 US dollars. I often watch RM's shows, and I know that sometimes they look like a lot of prize money in this game, but it has to be sponsored.
This time, they didn't have any sponsorship money at all, and now they have to donate so much money, which is already very heartfelt. (To be continued)
