In a jungle where Indian tribes have lived for generations, self-interested merchants and indomitable guardians have staged a fierce defensive battle for the sake of nature's continuation...
Wonders of the Jungle 1
Early in the morning, on the border of The American Indian Reservation No. 46, Cam in the lookout post was awakened by the sound of cars.
The string in his heart suddenly tightened. He stepped onto his horse and blew the hunting whistle. The mournful whistle awakened the people of the tribe, and dozens of men rushed toward Cam on horseback and gathered next to the lookout post.
It was an off-road vehicle, not a Rolls-Royce of real estate tycoon Harris, and there was no aggressive bulldozer behind it. Still not daring to take it lightly, Cam asked aloud, "What are you?" What are you here for?"
An old man got out of the car and shouted, "We are a scientific expedition, I am american, and there are scientists from Britain, France, Russia and several countries on the car." We want to investigate this jungle and hope you will let us pass. ”
Cam hesitated, as Harris had previously set his sights on the reservation, which he was said to have bought off some government departments to develop an upscale villa area on the reservation. This reservation, the homeland of this Indian tribe for generations, has a dense jungle that is now rare, and the ecological environment is very good.
In the past six months, the tribe's number one hunter, Cam, has led the tribe's warriors to repel multiple sneak attacks by Harris. Now, unlike decades ago, Harris did not dare to blatantly kill and set fires, but he always secretly sent machines to sneak attacks, and the lookout had been torn down three times, one of which almost buried Cam inside. But the tribe tenaciously rebuilt the lookout post and burned three bulldozers that crossed the border line.
Could these scientists be spies sent by Harris? Seeing Cam hesitate, several people came down from the car, some men and women, some old and some young. Cam let go of his doubts, and the men seemed to be friendly and professional scientists.
When Harris first came to the reserve, he was just an ordinary tourist, but Cam could see that Harris was staring at the jungle with greed, as if the jungle was not a tree, but a cash cow. Sure enough, it wasn't long before Harris came again, sitting in a Rolls-Royce with a whole bunch of bodyguards and lawyers, with a scary-denominated check, and asked Cam to abandon the reservation and leave with the money.
Cam called a meeting, unsurprisingly rejected Harris, and began more than half a year of confrontation. In addition to the machine sneak attack, some people have also shot at the tribe, of course, the tribe has also fought back.
Cam went to the state government. However, the police department did not file a case because of insufficient evidence. At this point, the scientists entered the reserve, and they entered the forest to investigate. At night they set up tents, ate only canned food, and did not make a fire in the jungle.
Every time they spot a rare animal or insect, they cheer with joy and take pictures. The biggest cheer came on the third night. The leading old man shouted excitedly, "This is a miracle!"
On the morning of the fourth day, the scientists chatted with Cam. Learn about the hunting activities of the Indians and also give Them some medicines to Kam. It was a precious gift, because it was not easy for Indians to buy medicine at the pharmacies in the city. As Cam escorts them out of the reservation, they are confronted by Harris's car and the construction convoy he follows.
Once again, the two sides confronted each other, and the atmosphere was very tense. At this time, the scientists who had figured out the situation stood up, and the old man showed his work card and said, "Sir, you can't develop this land, there is a group of bonobos living here, probably more than thirty, which is a miracle." ”
Harris looked back at his adviser, and one of them stood up and said, "Dr. I've studied biology, and bonobos are not endangered and protected animals on our list." ”
The old man shook his head and said, "Since you have studied biology, you should understand that there are no bonobos on the list of endangered and protected animals in our country because we have never had such animals in our country."
Existing theories suggest that the animals exist only in the Congolese jungle, and that the jungles of the United States are not suitable for their survival. But apparently this southern jungle resembles tropical jungle in some ways, and we suspect that these bonobos were brought here by humans a long time ago, or perhaps even longer, before the continents were separated.
Either way, they are a miracle of nature, and this land cannot be destroyed by commercial development. ”
Harris rolled his eyes for half a day before he said slowly, "That is to say, I got all the legal departments, obtained the right to develop this land, and finally destroyed by dozens of orangutans?"
The old doctor nodded and said, "Unfortunately, sir, this joint expedition is authorized by a higher level of government." Our report will be submitted directly to Washington, and the relevant departments' ecological protection approval will soon be available. ”
Harris coldly asked, "How fast is it soon?"
The old doctor heard the meaning of his words, raised an eyebrow, and said, "The official in charge of this matter is my student now, and I don't mind walking through the back door, I think it will be three days at most." ”
Harris said nothing more, watched the scientists' buggy out of sight, and then lit a cigar. Say to yourself, "Three days."
