Recently, a video of "wild boar crossing Taiping Lake in huangshan mountains in groups" was spread on social networks. The official Douyin number of Huangshan Daily also forwarded the above video.
On the morning of October 29, the surging news (www.thepaper.cn) confirmed from the relevant departments in Huangshan City, Anhui Province, that the above video was recently filmed by the masses on a boat in Taiping Lake, and the location was in the waters of Longmen Township of Taiping Lake, and there were indeed wild boars crossing the lake collectively on the lake that day.
A local resident of Huangshan told the surging news reporter that on the 28th, he saw that a local fisherman in Taiping Lake had released the above video in his WeChat circle of friends. "I love fishing myself and have seen wild boars along the shores of Taiping Lake, but this is the first time I've seen them in so many flocks."
Why are there herds of wild boars on Taiping Lake? What are the reasons behind the collective crossing of the lake? Wu Hailong, a professor at the School of Ecology and Environment of Anhui Normal University, has participated in the investigation and research of biodiversity in Huangshan. He told The Paper that wild boars usually move overland and do not go to deeper waters. The wild boar group crossing Taiping Lake this time is most likely that the pigs have encountered stress, may have been chased and frightened, and had to choose to cross the lake by water.
Some netizens commented that the collective crossing of wild boars in Taiping Lake is a signal for the improvement of the ecological environment in the Taiping Lake area. In this regard, Wu Hailong believes that this phenomenon alone can not be judged that the local ecological environment has improved, "there are many reasons for the increase in the number of wild boars, and the ban on fishing policies and the size of the local vegetation area are related." ”
The surging news reporter searched on the Internet and found that local netizens in Huangshan had repeatedly reported that they had found the footprints of wild boar activities in different areas of Huangshan City. For the sharp increase in the number of wild boars, Huangshan City has also taken relevant measures.
According to the "Huangshan Daily" report, on June 22 this year, the Huangshan Municipal Government Office issued the "Huangshan City To Strengthen the Prevention and Control of Wild Boar Hazards Work Plan", which pointed out that with the improvement of forest ecological resources and the strengthening of the protection and management of wildlife resources in our city, the number of wild boar populations has increased sharply, and incidents that damage agricultural and forestry crops have occurred from time to time, seriously endangering agricultural and forestry production and human and animal safety. In order to earnestly safeguard the safety of the masses' lives and property and the normal order of life, it is necessary to strengthen the monitoring and early warning publicity of the wild boar population, set up warning signs in areas where wild boars are seriously harmful, remind them to avoid danger, organize and carry out relevant protection and other knowledge training, advocate taking the natural village or villager group as the unit, take turns to go to the field on duty, adopt scientific and effective methods to drive them out, and guide the villagers to change the corn, peanuts, sweet potatoes, and other crops that wild boars like to eat into other crops such as poria and melon; and carry out regulation and control of the wild boar population according to local conditions. The competent forestry departments of districts and counties shall demarcate the wild boar hunting area according to actual needs, determine the hunting period for wild boars (from October 1 to January 31 of the following year), implement the quota hunting of wild boars, report to the provincial forestry administrative department for approval step by step, and hunt with "two certificates" (hunting licenses and gun licenses), formulate a hunting work plan; implement compensation for wild boar hazards in accordance with law, and the scope, standards, and procedures of compensation shall be implemented in accordance with the "Measures for Compensation for Personal Injury and Property Loss Caused by Terrestrial Wild Animals in Anhui Province".
Wu Hailong said that the excessive number of wild boars will inevitably cause interference to human activities, but as long as they do not take harmful actions, wild boars will not easily attack humans.
