Biological proliferation, a global disease, is like a nightmare that entangles the heartstrings of countries around the world. Invasive alien species, with their unbeatable power to reproduce and grow, not only cast boulders in the economic field, stirring up layers of ripples, but also quietly infiltrating the daily life of the people, tearing the peaceful picture of ecological balance to pieces, leaving a devastation. In this "biological invasion war" that has been raging one after another on a global scale, some battles have been mitigated by human ingenuity and determination, while others are like unsolvable puzzles, which make people sigh.
When it comes to biological flooding, the catfish in the Ganges River in India may easily jump into people's minds, as they dominate the river, devouring the life of the river and casting a shadow over the lives of the people living along the river. However, beyond this haze, there is an even more thrilling biological invasion drama that is being staged, and its protagonist is so ordinary that it has caused an immeasurable catastrophe - that is, the rabbit frenzy on the Australian continent.
Back in the 18th century, the unintentional actions of several United Kingdom explorers introduced five innocent rabbits to the vast grasslands of Australia. Unexpectedly, this was the prelude to the disaster. In this paradise without natural predators, the rabbits seem to have broken free from the shackles of wild horses, running at an astonishing speed on the journey of breeding, its speed is like a storm, which makes people unprepared. By 1926, Australia's rabbit population had swelled to a staggering 10 billion, and at that time, the total number of humans in the world was less than half.
On the grasslands, rabbits frantically dig their underground kingdoms, each cave is a serious blow to the ecology, and every noise of breeding is a silent indictment of nature. In the face of this raging disaster, the Australian government had to make up its mind, send troops, use weapons, and launch a protracted "man-rabbit war". However, these efforts seem to be a drop in the bucket, and the rabbit population is still growing like weeds and is difficult to contain. In desperation, the Australian legislation severely punished unlicensed breeding, and the huge fines were staggering, but it was difficult to stop the pace of the rabbit army.
To this day, this century-long battle continues silently, and people are still exploring the path to peaceful coexistence. Under the rabbit problem, it is not only the heavy damage of the economy and the collapse of the ecology, but also the profound torture of the concept of harmonious coexistence between human beings and nature. Perhaps, only when we face nature more humbly and protect the ecology more firmly can we find the key to unlock the future and avoid the recurrence of historical tragedies in this war without gunpowder.
