111 Is there really hope?
Only in this way can we avoid pollution to the environment to the greatest extent and avoid forcing some animals to move.
The staggering team was filled with the smell of alcohol, and Wen Wanwan also drank a little, but compared to these people who needed to be released, she was still relatively sober.
Professor Wang carried a can of beer, sat next to Wen Wanwan, looked up at the sky above his head, and took a big sip.
"You say, just work so hard, is there really any hope?"
Wen Wanwan was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what Professor Wang was talking about.
A list of 1.5 million protected animals is enough to push anyone into despair.
As long as you have been in this industry for a long time, you can always know some news.
The most famous is probably the lonely George, whose scientific name is the Pinta Island Tortoise.
It is a species of giant tortoise that inhabits Pinta Island in the Colรณn Islands in the eastern Pacific Ocean west of Ecuador and was once the largest surviving tortoise species in the world and one of the heaviest reptiles in the world.
In the middle of the last century, the Pinta tortoise was nearly extinct due to heavy human hunting and overgrazing on Pinta Island.
In 1971, zoologists discovered the last Pinta Island tortoise on the island and named it Lone George.
From the day it was discovered, humans have tried everything they can to perpetuate its genes.
For forty years, as long as humans have the means they can have, they have basically used everything, but in the end, they are still desperate, whether it is genetic cloning or biologically similar female turtles and George's pairing and breeding, they cannot reproduce.
In 2012, a lonely George took his last breath and died of natural causes at the research station, and the Pinta Island tortoise has since become extinct.
Many people have heard George's story, but only those who are really in the animal protection job know this desperation.
Thirteen countries used everything they could, but they failed.
There are many more such stories, the Sbix macaw, the Pyrenees goat, the western black rhinoceros......
If you understand the names in depth, most people will feel the same emotion as Professor Wang.
"Yes, aren't we working hard after all?"
Although Wen Wanwan doesn't know what the future holds, at least after the emergence of the Zero Extinction Alliance and the fact that more and more people in the world pay attention to the protection of animals, the living environment of wild animals is indeed much better.
As long as you work so hard, sooner or later, the slogan of the Zero Extinction Alliance will come true.
"It's worth it for me to let the green peafowl population continue to flourish in my life."
Professor Wang's face showed a hint of open-mindedness, and he took another sip of beer, and then slowly talked about his lifelong work to protect the green peacock.
Wen Wanwan took the audience in the live broadcast room to be a listener with peace of mind, listening to the professor talk about his life's efforts.
Twenty years ago, 30-year-old Professor Wang was not a professor, just an ordinary university lecturer.
That day, he saw five green peafowl in the National Protected Zoo that had not been genetically contaminated.
The beauty with a fairy aura completely shook his heart.
Since then, he has spent three full years investigating the situation of green peacocks in China, but the moment the data is in his hands, his whole body is trembling.
It is hard to imagine that fairy birds, which have lived in China for thousands of years, have been greatly genetically polluted in just a few decades.
Even 99 percent of zoos and forest parks don't see a single purebred green peafowl.
Later, he used this data to write a dissertation, which was evaluated as an associate professor, and with the help of his position, he also drafted a conservation application for the wild population of green peafowl.
After a full decade, three nature reserves were gradually established, allowing more than 1,500 green peafowl to breed.
With his merits for the green peacock, he also came to the position of professor, whether it is for the artificial reproduction of the green peafowl for so many years, or the problem of the survival of the cubs.
Professor Wang has a great say, and he knows more about the green peacock than even his own daughter-in-law!
The daughter-in-law was angry and had to think about the reason, but with one move of the green peacock, he could guess what the problem was.
The main purpose of this expedition is to find the green peafowl to confirm the habitat environment.
If the environment allows these green peafowl to thrive, then a protected area needs to be established and human intervention should be carried out to ensure that their population continues.
If the environment makes it difficult for them to reproduce, take the green peafowl to a location where the reserve has been established.
As a can of beer was finished, Professor Wang burped and staggered towards the tent.
The atmosphere of the whole team has not been right these days, and he is under great pressure.
In order to find these green peacocks, he didn't have to worry about how many times he applied to get the funds.
There are even such people gathered, and once there is a problem with the team, the green peacock cannot be found.
Mission failure is trivial, but problems arise with the protection of the green peafowl and a series of plans for the future.
Now that he is watching the morale of the team recover, Professor Wang, who is holding on, is also a little unbearable.
Sneak over and watch: [Professor Wang has really paid most of his life for the green peacock! ] ใ
A Shuren: [Only now do I know how great the animal protector is. ใ
Words plum sauce: [Give me all tears, and we must resolutely resist genetic contamination in the future!] ใ
After listening to Professor Wang's experience, netizens in the live broadcast room also felt a shock, this is the animal protector, and it is precisely because of this kind of people that many wild animal populations have gradually recovered.
It was hot in the afternoon, but there was not much sound in the camp.
Most of the people had drunk and gone into their tents to rest, and the few who had not drunk too much sat by the stream with a book in their arms.
Finally, there is time to rest, and everyone is relaxing in their own way.
However, Wen Wanwan couldn't be idle at this time, so he and Xi Liang found a cool place to sit down, and spread out the map marked with dense arrows.
"If we pass through here, is there any difficulty?"
Hearing Wen Wanwan's words, Xi Liang's eyes were also on the map.
After staring at it for a moment, he quickly frowned.
"This should be a valley, right?"
"Well, green peacocks can fly, and according to my guess, they probably crossed this valley."
"It's not so easy for us to get past that."
He pointed his finger at a place on the arrow, and then explained.
"This area is supposed to be a water source, and the whole is basically in a wetland state, and it is likely that there will be a large swampy area, which is too dangerous."
Hearing the answer given by Xi Liang, Wen Wanwan also felt a headache.
