As early as ten years ago, when the rainy season came, Zhang Sichun, director of the Jiangchuan Aquatic Products Station in Yuxi City, Yunnan Province, and Yang Chongbao, director of the Yuxi Ancient Ecological Anti-Wave Fish Scientific Research and Conservation Center, did the same thing - looking for indigenous fish. Zhang Sichun waited hard for more than 2 months in the jumping fish ditch on the shore of Nebula Lake, and finally caught 87 nebula white fish; Yang Chongbao walked around the lake day after day, looking for the legendary haixin horsefish like a needle in a haystack, and finally got his wish, and spent a high price to buy four or five tails of Four-tailed Immortals and Four-whiskered Catfish. The fish later became the mother of captive breeding, saving two endangered aquatic species.
Yuxi has been committed to maintaining biodiversity for many years. After nearly 20 years of efforts, a variety of rare and endangered indigenous fish species such as anti-wave fish, bighead fish, nebula whitefish, Yunnan barbed catfish, Fuxian four-whiskered catfish, flower perch carp, Qilu carp, Fuxian golden line catfish, Yuanjiang carp and so on have escaped the fate of extinction and retained their roots through artificial breeding. Purple water chickens, colored ibises, black-winged long-legged sandpipers, pheasants, grass herons, pond herons, long-billed herons, green-headed ducks, crested pelicans and other national key protected animals that have disappeared for many years have appeared in the wetlands of Nebula Lake and Qilu Lake; wild wolves that have been difficult to find for many years have migrated in groups in the rolling mountains between Xinping and Eshan; rare wild animals such as green peacocks, western black-crowned gibbons, and black bears have frequently appeared in deep mountain valleys...
Today's Yuxi through ecological governance and restoration, biodiversity conservation and strict biodiversity supervision and law enforcement, the natural protected area system is becoming more and more perfect, the typical zonal ecosystem types have been effectively protected, the degraded ecosystem has been restored, the area of rock desertification and soil erosion has decreased year by year, and the scenery of birds flying in the sky, beasts roaring deep streams, and fish swimming under the water can be seen everywhere, presenting a picture of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
