According to the recently released white paper "Biodiversity Conservation in China", the number of crested ibises in China has increased from the only 7 left when it was discovered in 1981 to more than 5,000 in the population. At present, the global crested ibis population has grown to more than 7,000. The conservation of the crested ibis is a successful example of China's rescue of endangered species and biodiversity conservation.
At the earliest, when the staff of the protection station found the crested ibis's nest, three or four people would put a tent under the tree to monitor it 24 hours a day, at least three months, and wait until it could normally eat and forage outside.
The first protection of the crested ibis is to protect its individuals, from the number of crested ibises to a thousand, from the individual protection of the crested ibises gradually to environmental protection.
From the first 7 to more than 7,000 flying around the world today, it took 40 years for the crested ibises to fly from Qinling to all over the world. At the recently concluded United Nations Biodiversity Conference, a group of rare animals, including crested ibises, were "downgraded", but for conservation workers, their mission is far from over. Xue Xueru, director of the Longting Conservation Station of Shaanxi Hanzhong Crested Ibis National Nature Reserve, said in an interview with a knews reporter who looked at the news: "We will also increase protection efforts, although it is rid of critical endangerment, but the number of thousands of animals is very fragile for nature, it is possible that an epidemic, a disaster it will be completely destroyed, the international standard should be more than 20,000, the population is safe." ”
In the future, scientific and technological products, including remote GPS, infrared night vision and other equipment, will be more used in the field of crested ibis protection, in the face of the current trend of accelerated loss of biodiversity in the world, so that the construction of ecological civilization continues to "upgrade", is still the focus of many people's efforts. Zhang Yueming, senior engineer of the Shaanxi Hanzhong Crested Ibis National Nature Reserve Management Bureau, whom we interviewed, said: "We are not only protecting an individual, but the individual protection of the crested ibis is gradually moving towards environmental protection, through this endangered species, this beautiful bird, to drive the protection of the entire ecological environment, forming a good ecological circle, which is the ultimate purpose of protection." ”
At present, the forest coverage rate in Yangxian County has reached 68.9%, and the number of birds used to be only about 260 species, and now the number of species has exceeded 360 species.
