How to protect wild animals

　　Throwing down villagers, smashing car windows, biting car tires... Recently, a wild Siberian tiger broke into Linhu Village in Mishan City, Heilongjiang Province, causing minor injuries to a villager. The incident aroused widespread concern.

The reporter learned from the Propaganda Department of the Mishan Municipal Party Committee that the villager has received effective treatment and is in stable condition.

　　According to a report from the Heilongjiang Forestry and Grassland Bureau, the tiger weighs 450 kilograms and is a 2-3 year old sub-adult male tiger with a strong body. It has been named "Wandashan No. 1".

At present, the tiger has been sent to China Hengdaohezi Feline Breeding Center for further observation.

　　Natural spread of wild tiger populations

　　"The tiger has just left the mother tiger to live independently, and is exploring new habitats, looking for suitable habitats, and establishing its own territory." Director of the Cat Research Center of the National Forestry and Grass Administration, and professor of the College of Wildlife and Natural Reserves of Northeast Forestry University Zhang Minghai introduced that the Siberian tigers at this age have not reached the level of adult tigers in their predation skills, ability to avoid danger, and ability to recognize directions, but their range of activities is larger than that of adult tigers.

　　"It can be judged from the fact that he fell over villagers in the farmland and hides in residential areas. The reason why he came to the'farmland-village' area where there is no forest distribution may be because the tiger lost his way in the nearby forest." Zhang Minghai Say.

　　"Since 2000, the ecological quality of vegetation in Heilongjiang Province has continued to improve." said Bai Xuhui, full-time deputy director of the Office of the Greening Committee of the People's Government of Heilongjiang Province. The Siberian tiger has high requirements for the ecological environment of the habitat, and its frequent occurrence also shows the local ecological environment. Getting better and better.

　　"In the past five years, my country has monitored nearly 20 Siberian tiger cubs, and the Siberian tiger population has shown a steady growth trend. The discovery of this sub-adult male tiger is also the result of the natural proliferation of wild tiger populations." Cat of the National Forestry and Grass Administration Jiang Guangshun, executive deputy director of the Science Animal Research Center and professor of Northeast Forestry University, introduced.

　　But the proliferation of wild tiger populations has also brought new problems.

　　"Human and Tiger Encounters" occur frequently

　　For a period of time, the "big king" went down the mountain frequently, and encounters between humans and tigers often occurred.

On January 11 this year, wild Siberian tiger footprints were found in Dunhua City, Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, Jilin Province; on March 14, wild Siberian tiger footprints appeared in Sanling Township, Ning’an City, Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province; November 13, last year, Jilin Province The police of the Wangqing Forest Public Security Bureau in the province came across a wild Siberian tiger while patrolling...

　　"This has sounded the alarm for us. The rapid response and emergency management mechanism for wild animal emergencies in remote areas should be established and improved." Liu Dan, chief engineer of the China Hengdaohezi Cat Breeding Center, said, public security and animal protection , Forestry and other departments should form a cross-border and cross-domain linkage mechanism, and coordinate the formation of emergency plans to ensure that the blockade is completed in the first time and the rescue arrives in the first time. "For tigers and leopards infested areas, patrol and rescue personnel can be deployed in grids. In order to prevent wild animal emergencies, professionals must be transferred from distant cities to delay rescue opportunities."

　　The "Wildlife Protection Law" stipulates: "If the protection of wild animals under this law causes casualties, crops or other property losses, the local people's government shall provide compensation. The specific measures shall be formulated by the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government." It is also possible to explore new ways and new methods for commercial insurance to solve wildlife damage compensation, and establish a long-term mechanism for compensation for wildlife damage.” Liu Dan said that only by protecting people’s lives and property can people be more motivated to protect. Wild animals survive and multiply.

　　The migration corridor of Siberian tigers should be built and repaired

　　Liu Dan said that there are at least 27 wild Siberian tigers in the Siberian Tiger and Leopard National Park in my country.

Although the population has increased in recent years, the wild population of the Siberian tiger is still small, its recovery is slow, and it is still in an endangered state, which requires us to take extra care.

　　At present, the areas where people have witnessed wild Siberian tigers are relatively concentrated, mainly around the important corridor areas where they migrate.

"Where is the key prevention area, it can be scientifically predicted." Jiang Guangshun said that on the one hand, it is necessary to go deep into the village to carry out publicity and education activities to achieve animal protection awareness and prevention awareness. "For example, this time, many villagers find it strange. Some of them even went to watch, which is very dangerous."

　　On the other hand, Siberian tigers will migrate along ecological corridors with suitable conditions in the process of expanding their territory, tracking prey populations and finding mates. The isolation between habitat patches will cause difficulties for the migration of Siberian tigers.

“Forest corridors that facilitate tiger migration should be built and repaired, and habitat patches should be connected in a line, so that patches can be connected to facilitate population migration and reproduction, and reduce the possibility of tigers being forced to pass through human villages and causing conflicts between humans and tigers. ." Jiang Guangshun said.
