As a result of captive breeding, South China tigers have lost their interest in breeding and are on the verge of extinction, so the mainland has launched the "Save the Chinese Tiger" program, trying to stimulate their wildness by releasing them back into the wild.
However, businessman Wati's plan to introduce African tigers was not successful, and the South China tiger only became a tool for him to make money, but did not really protect the animals.
Was Vati's African Tiger Introduction Program a Success?
How will these tigers affect the local ecosystem?
1. The South China tiger is on the verge of extinction.
At the beginning of the 20th century, there were 4,000 South China tigers, and by the end of the 20th century, there were fewer than 30 left.
It used to be the "overlord" of the Megatron Mountains and Rivers in South China, but there are only a few left, and they are on the verge of extinction.
South China tigers are endangered because they are so scarce that they disappear from sight.
However, this does not mean that the number of South China tigers is really so small, but that the number of captive-bred South China tigers is not real.
In the 70s of the last century, the organization for the protection of South China tigers was established, and at that time there were only seven South China tigers on the mainland.
The tiger park in Yunnan has been breeding South China tigers since the 50s of the last century, and by the 80s of the last century, the tiger park had 200 tigers.
On the mainland, other zoos have also begun to keep South China tigers, so the number of South China tigers in the country has risen from seven to more than 100.
In fact, in the mainland, the protection of South China tigers is not to raise more South China tigers, but to avoid the extinction of the natural population of South China tigers through artificial breeding, and also to stimulate the interest of South China tigers in natural growth through breeding.
However, this plan was not successful, and instead the South China tiger lost its interest in breeding, and the South China tiger was on the verge of extinction.
2. The "Save the Chinese Tigers" plan.
With the decline of the South China tiger population, people are gradually paying attention to the number of South China tigers, and the number of tigers has become a hot topic in zoos across the country.
As a result, tigers have also appeared in advertisements for zoos across the country, and this phenomenon has also made people see the endangerment of tigers.
To this end, tiger conservation organizations have been established, and tiger conservation has become a national issue.
For this reason, the tigers in the Tiger Park are also counted, and the Tiger Park has more tigers than other zoos in the country.
As a result, the tiger park has become a breeding ground for tigers, and the tiger park has become an authority in the introduction of tigers.
The number of South China tigers in the tiger park is also among the best in the national zoo, and the strength of the South China tiger breeding source is also among the best in the country, and the number of tigers in the tiger park has also reached more than 300.
In the 90s of the last century, the Tiger Park also formulated the "Save the Chinese Tiger" plan, which also aims to stimulate the wild nature of South China tigers by releasing them back into the wild.
However, the plan to release the tiger back into the wild has been implemented for nearly 10 years, and during these 10 years, the tiger park has been looking for a suitable place to stock.
Eventually, the tiger park found Sanjiang County, the birthplace of the South China tiger, so Sanjiang County also became the first choice for South China tiger stocking.
In Sanjiang County, the local people also respect the tiger very much, and the tiger is also the "overlord" of the mighty mountains and rivers in the hearts of the people.
Therefore, the tiger park in Sanjiang County has also become the largest source of tigers in the mainland, and the number of tigers in the tiger park is also among the best in the country.
In the case that the number of tigers in the tiger park has reached more than 300, the tigers in the tiger park can no longer breed, so the tiger park is also in embarrassment.
The Tiger Park has adjusted the number of tigers to 10 pairs, and the Tiger Park has also successfully allowed tigers to breed, which also makes the number of tigers in the Tiger Park rank first in the country.
The Tiger Park has also carried out more systematic research on the breeding of tigers, and at the same time, the Tiger Park has also conducted a more detailed investigation of the stocking sites of South China tigers.
Therefore, the stocking plan of the South China tiger is also gradually implemented under the plan of the tiger park.
3. Merchant Wati's African tiger introduction plan.
However, while the tiger park was stocking, it did not stop the plan of the merchant Wati, who carried out the introduction of African tigers under the banner of caring for the South China tiger.
Wati visited the Tiger Park, and the number of tigers in the Tiger Park also amazed Wati.
Wati thought of the Free State of Africa, which is also home to tigers, which also introduced tigers at the beginning of the last century, and the number of tigers has reached more than 100.
And in the local ecological environment, it is also very suitable for the survival of tigers, so Wati also wants to introduce tigers and put tigers in the free state.
Wati also communicated with the tiger park about the number of tigers in the tiger park, and the tiger park asked Wati to tell them the specific area where the tigers are stocked.
However, Wati did not restore the tiger park in the specific stocking area of the tigers, and the tiger park gradually discovered the misdeeds of Wati.
Regarding the introduction of tigers, Wati did not tell the tiger park the specific stocking area, nor did he communicate with the tiger park.
In the case of the introduction of tigers in the Free States of Africa, the actual size of the tigers is very small, only 10 hectares, which does little to help the tigers breed.
And tigers face a lot of dangers in the wild, and the number of tigers can easily change, and the number of tigers will also decrease.
At the same time, tigers are easily hunted by local hunters, so this move by Wati will not help the tigers survive.
In addition, it is difficult for tigers to adapt to the wild environment, so this plan of Wati cannot release the South China tiger back into the wild, so that the South China tiger will gradually return to the wild environment.
This move also made the tiger a tool for Wati to make money, and the tiger was not protected, but made the South China tiger population even rarer.
epilogue
As a national-level protected animal, the tiger is a treasure of our country, and the number of tigers is also decreasing, which is precisely because of the blind worship of human beings, so that the tiger is on the verge of extinction.
The release plan of the Tiger Park is to return the South China tigers to nature through release, but this plan of the Tiger Park has not been well implemented.
Therefore, the tiger park should be carefully considered for the tiger stocking plan, and the tiger park should also adjust the number of South China tigers to an appropriate number.
At the same time, the number of tigers should not be a bragging capital for tiger parks, and the number of tigers should be a driving force for zoos to protect animals, rather than a tool for business.
Businessmen exploit the tiger population for personal gain, which is not only irresponsible to the ecological environment, but also irresponsible to animals, and should be regulated by law.
The destruction of wildlife habitats by human activities is also the cause of the extinction of endangered species, and we should pay attention to the living environment of animals.
