Red-crowned crane
Cover news reporters Yang Jiyue, Li Jiayu, Liu Yuwei, Liang Jiaqi, Tian Xuejiao, and Jilin Hunchun report
"Don't be nervous, Xiao Bai, they are here to help you." You have to obey, go with them, and I'll go see you. "In Liudaopao Village, Jingxin Town, Hunchun City, Jilin Province, a red-crowned crane was blindfolded by a glove, and several strong men from the northeast joined forces to send it to the transport truck. On the evening of January 11, with the help of the State Forestry and Grassland Administration of Jilin Province, the Jilin Provincial Wildlife Rescue Center and the Hunchun Forestry and Grassland Bureau, the sub-adult red-crowned crane will take a 5-hour drive to the Jilin Provincial Wildlife Rescue and Breeding Center.
The red-crowned crane, which was tightly held by the animal protection personnel, looked a little anxious, and Li Youde, the first secretary of Liudaopao Village, looked at it with some pain, "It seems to know that it is going to leave, it has never flapped its wings, but it shouted at me that day while flapping its wings." Before the red-crowned crane left, Li Youde was afraid that it would be hungry on the road and fed it some small fish. He gently touched its slender neck to show comfort and show his reluctance for the red-crowned crane, but he knew that only by going to the wildlife conservation center could the red-crowned crane get more professional care.
Suddenly, cranes came to visit
The villagers took good care of them before and after
At the end of December 2021, Liudaopao Village, at 43 degrees north latitude, has entered the deep winter, the temperature is about minus 10 °C, and only the residue of the harvested corn stalks is left on the field, and it is also covered with 10 cm thick ice and snow, and the lake surface has frozen. The red-crowned crane herd has been out of the village for more than a month, and a crane chirp in the early morning has broken the tranquility of the village.
Villager Zhang Mingfu first spotted the "visiting" red-crowned crane, "which was lying on its stomach in the grass in the yard and looked very bad." Zhang Mingfu, who saw the red-crowned crane for the first time, was surprised and happy, "Can you be unhappy when you see the crane, we all say that this means that Liudaopao Village will get rich this year." But he also wondered, why did a crane suddenly come at this time? Is it injured? And how to protect it?
Zhang Mingfu immediately called Li Youde, the first secretary of Liudaopao Village, the local animal protection center and other organizations. On the second day, experts came to hear it and installed an infrared camera near the yard where the red-crowned crane "settled". No one understood why it suddenly came to visit, perhaps it was injured, or perhaps it was left behind due to physical weakness during the migration. "At that time, experts said that they should first observe for a few days, and then study how to protect and deal with it." Zhang Mingfu introduced that in the days of caring for the red-crowned crane, almost every morning and evening he would go to the river to see it, afraid that it would be frozen and hungry.
Fighting wits with red-crowned cranes
In desperation, there is love
There were 49 families in Liudaopao Village, and soon the news of the arrival of the red-crowned crane spread throughout the village. Many years ago, the village had collectively rescued and protected a white deer, and this time, the experienced villagers of Liudao Village independently formulated a schedule, and every day at 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., the people on duty needed to prepare food for the red-crowned crane on time. "If you feed it on time, it may nag you when the time comes, as if it is too late for you." Li Youde introduced.
Feed the red-crowned cranes small fish
"Feeding" has also become a small episode of "fighting wits and courage" in the villagers' relationship with red-crowned cranes. "At the earliest, there was leftover bud rice from the people in the courtyard, and we picked up small bud grains of rice to feed it." Li Youde recalled with a smile that later, the big guys pondered that the red-crowned crane loved to eat fish, and then spontaneously went to the town to buy frozen dried fish for it, and the red-crowned crane that ate the frozen dried fish has since "disliked" the bud rice grains.
Go catch small fish
After 7:00 a.m., Li Youdehui and the villagers on duty took the ice hammer and sacks to the lake together and chiseled the ice to catch fish. "Don't say that the frozen fish is dry, that is, some of the fish caught are dead and they don't eat it, so they have to eat live and fresh." Li Youde talked about this "little ancestor", helplessly showing love, "It is cute to eat small live fish, can't stop eating, just like sucking melon seeds." ”
This red-crowned crane has become a household name in Liudaopao Village, and everyone will come to visit it. Yang Baisong, deputy director of the Jingxin Border Police Station, said that the red-crowned crane that has just arrived is a little timid, and the distance from people is basically maintained 10 meters away, "Now it is gradually getting acquainted, and the nearest time may be only 1 meter away." After a few days of careful care, the red-crowned crane's spirit is obviously much better than when it first arrived, "At the same time, we are also worried about what if it is used to human feeding and loses its wildness." Yang Baisong said.
Collectively guard the ecological environment
The "Ten Thousand Birds Village" is home to animal rest
Liudao Bubble Village
Liudaopao Village, known as "Ten Thousand Birds Village" in the mouth of the villagers, belongs to the buffer zone of the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park, which guards the Hunchun Jingxin Wetland, and every year millions of migratory birds stop in the Jingxin Wetland when they migrate, and it is the home of more than 300 kinds of rare birds such as red-crowned cranes, white-naped cranes, white-headed cranes, hongyan geese, and white-fronted geese.
Enter the Area of Siberian Tiger and Leopard National Park
Li Youde introduced that this can become a "transit place" for bird migration is related to the improvement of the environment, 30 years ago, the Longshan Lake Reservoir was established, after the water storage, the villagers gradually began to plant rice, spring and autumn harvest, some rice was sprinkled on the ground rice, became the food of migratory birds. "What we're seeing is more birds, but actually there's more wildlife." Li Youde looked at the reeds in the wetland, which were an inch taller than a person, and sighed: "Siberian tigers, Northeast leopards, roe deer, musk, wild boar... The wetland can supply more food, which means that its carrying capacity is increased, and the entire biological chain here will gradually become complete. ”
Li Youde went from house to house to preach
Opening villagers' meetings, broadcasting village radios, and going from house to house to publicize and explain, Li Youde will always seize every opportunity to publicize the knowledge of protecting wild animals to the villagers, "Don't look at the average age of our villagers is 60 years old, and the awareness of protecting wild animals is stronger than anyone." In Li Youde's heart, he has been thinking about how to turn green waters and green mountains into "golden mountains and silver mountains", and he plans to build a research base that can not only allow children to put themselves in the shoes of wild animals here, improve their awareness of ecological protection, but also generate income for the local people.
The red-crowned crane has been rescued for a week, and Li Youde now drives past the place where it once stayed every day, and will also take a look at it, "After reading it, I reacted, oh, Xiao Bai has been rescued." "Sending it away, every villager, like Li Youde, showed reluctance, but everyone knew that it could not survive the winter if it continued to stay here." This time, in the face of live wild animals, everyone was even more emotionally impacted, and they also knew not to have too much contact with wild animals to prevent them from having the habit of relying on people. Li Youde believes that through the participation of the whole village in the red-crowned crane rescue incident, the villagers will pay more attention to the protection of wild animals and the ecological environment.
