Recently, in the picturesque Baishanzu Park in the Jingning Creek Basin, a strange, four-legged "four-legged strange fish" has become the focus of attention. Its unique body shape is very different from that of common fish, which arouses curiosity and speculation.
After in-depth research and identification by experts, this mysterious creature was finally confirmed as a national second-class protected animal - the Chinese newt. This discovery not only enriches our understanding of the biodiversity of the natural world, but also reminds us to cherish and protect these precious ecological resources even more.
National second-class protected wild animal - Chinese newt
The Chinese newt belongs to the salamander family, the genus Newt. It is distinguished by its limbs, which can be used as an aid when swimming and crawling when on land. Its body is usually streamlined, and its skin is moist, which is conducive to swimming in water.
Chinese newts play an important role in the ecosystem, they are part of the food chain and help maintain ecological balance. At the same time, they are also an important part of biodiversity and are of great significance for the study and conservation of biodiversity.
The Chinese newt is mainly distributed in Chongqing, Hunan, Anhui, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi and other places in China. They mostly live in the streams of 200~1200 meters of hills and low mountains, and the water surface is generally wide, and there are many small stones and sediment at the bottom.
Newts inhabit the slow-flowing still waters of mountain streams, surrounded by many plants and rotting leaves, and live in deep water in winter. In the evening, they scatter or congregate along streams, feeding on small animals such as snails and earthworms, and are hungry tolerant.
Since the Chinese newt is a national second-class protected animal, this means that they face some existential threats and need special protection. These threats can include habitat destruction, water pollution, illegal capture, etc. Therefore, the site where the Chinese newt was found, the Baishanzu Park in the Jingning Xiaoxi Basin, should be given special attention and protection to ensure that the living environment of these rare animals is maintained.
The discovery of the Chinese newt in the Baishanzu Park of the Jingning Xiaoxi Basin has not only attracted widespread public attention, but also reminded us to pay more attention to the conservation of biodiversity and the health of the ecosystem.
What does the appearance of the Chinese newt suggest?
As a national second-class protected wild animal, due to the scarcity of the population, the frequency of appearing in people's field of vision is not high.
First, remarkable results have been achieved in ecological and environmental protection
The emergence and flourishing of wild animals is undoubtedly the best affirmation of the local ecological environment. This fully shows that the current ecological environment has become suitable for the life and reproduction of wild protected animals. This achievement is due to the tremendous efforts made by the mainland in protecting the ecological environment in recent years.
By strengthening the control of urban industrial wastewater, waste gas and waste residue discharge, we have effectively reduced the discharge of pollutants and improved the quality of the ecological environment. This is not only conducive to the survival of wild animals, but also lays a solid foundation for the protection of biodiversity and the stability of local ecosystems.
Second, the establishment and protection of nature reserves
The establishment of a large number of nature reserves is another important measure taken by the mainland in terms of ecological and environmental protection. These nature reserves aim to protect biodiversity, reduce the damage to the ecological environment caused by human activities, and build a complete pristine natural ecosystem.
At present, more than 1,000 nature reserves have been established across the country, which provide safe habitats and breeding grounds for wild animals, reducing the possibility of human destruction.
At the same time, these protected areas have also become important bases for carrying out ecological scientific research and popularizing ecological knowledge, and have played an important role in promoting ecological civilization and sustainable social development.
Third, the increase in wildlife populations and the enrichment of biodiversity
With the improvement of the ecological environment and the establishment of nature reserves, the population of wild animals has gradually increased, and the diversity of local biological populations has been greatly enriched. This not only injects new vitality into the ecosystem, but also provides us with the possibility to build a huge gene pool.
In nature, the larger the gene pool, the better the ecological environment and the less damage to human beings. These genetic resources are of great significance for the restoration of the ecological environment and the conservation of biodiversity in the future.
At the same time, they also provide more biological resources and scientific research materials for human beings, which is conducive to promoting the in-depth development of biodiversity conservation and ecological science research.
At last
The mainland has achieved remarkable results in ecological and environmental protection. We have succeeded in improving the quality of the ecological environment, protecting biodiversity and promoting ecosystem stability by strengthening the control of industrial pollution, establishing nature reserves, and protecting wildlife populations.
In the future, we need to continue to strengthen the protection of the ecological environment and promote the continuous development of the construction of ecological civilization. Kudos to our better and better ecological environment!
