The Siberian tiger that stumbled into our village now has an official name: Wandashan No. 1, and the origin of the name is because the area where it was found is located in the Wandashan area.
After a preliminary diagnosis, the Siberian tiger is a male, aged about 2-3 years old, which is the wandering process of leaving its mother and going outside to establish its own habitat. Tigers are solitary creatures, in which female pups generally establish habitats closer to their place of birth when they leave their mothers, while males establish their habitats very far away, in order to prevent the population from mating with close relatives.
According to the current traceability, the tiger arrived in Russia from our territory on the 22nd, and then returned to China from Russia in the early morning of the next day, until it was found in the village at about 8 a.m.
It is not known where the tiger comes from, whether it is from China or Russia, but its appearance in China also shows that China's ecology is recovering, the number of wild Siberian tigers has increased, and they are spreading outward from their original habitat.
However, if Wandashan No. 1 wants to stay in china for a long time, it still needs our country to make efforts in these three aspects.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > food</h1>
Wandashan No. 1 is a Siberian tiger, and the territory of a Siberian tiger requires 70 square kilometers of woodland, and if the amount of food is relatively abundant, the tiger's habitat area can be reduced. There are at least 200 deer, 150 wild boars and about 100 antelopes living in the woodland. The desire to feed so many wild herbivores also means that the ecological environment of the area is better, and they can function normally without human intervention.
However, such places are not easy to find today, first of all, because the habitat of tigers is large, and the number of organisms in the habitat is high, and there are very few places that can meet these two conditions at the same time.
In addition, the area where the Siberian tiger originally lived, now there are many human beings surviving, and it is not good for humans and tigers to rush to the area where humans are densely populated. If the tiger is released into a protected area where the tiger already lives, it will cause the tiger to fight with other male adult tigers in order to seize the land, resulting in the defeat or even death of one of the tigers.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > female tiger</h1>
If there is only food and no female tigers to survive, then Wandashan 1 will still not be able to settle in the local area. In the habitat of male tigers, there must be multiple female tigers, only in this way can male tigers continue to offspring, otherwise they will continue to travel in search of mates and establish habitats in places where there are females.
If female Siberian tigers come to settle in China, then they will attract male Siberian tigers to come and establish habitats, so the return of female tigers is more conducive to wild Siberian tigers to settle here.
But in general, males come here early because females establish habitats closer to their places of birth, while males establish habitats more than 100 kilometers away.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" > ecological corridor</h1>
Under normal circumstances, wild animals do not enter the human activity area, and tigers do not actively attack humans. This is because humans are upright walking animals, and their prey is mainly limbed ungulates.
In addition, most of the areas where humans are active have been transformed into farmland and villages, and tigers are accustomed to living in the forest, they will use the mountains and stones in the forest to hide their figures, and then quietly approach their prey to complete the hunt. The environment that human beings have transformed is not conducive to their survival.
What's more, there are very few large wild animals in the area where humans are active, and they can't meet their needs for survival, so they stay away from humans.
Although the incident of guandashan mistakenly entering the village indicates that the number of wild Siberian tigers has increased and is spreading outward, it also exposes that our efforts to protect wild Siberian tigers are not enough.
Although in order to protect wild Siberian tigers, China has organized the work of returning forests and grasslands in the northeast region to restore the wild environment, and has established a number of nature reserves and started to build ecological corridors.
However, the construction of ecological corridors between nature reserves is not perfect, and some places are still blocked by villages and farmland, which leads to the islandization of the areas where they live, resulting in the natural spread of Siberian tigers mistakenly entering the village.
Not only that, the Siberian tigers living in various isolated islands, because there is no connecting channel, resulting in long-term inability to communicate genes with the outside population, the phenomenon of inbreeding is becoming more and more serious, and inbreeding will lead to a decline in the quality of their populations, which is not conducive to their survival.
In order to protect them as much as possible, in addition to providing them with a certain amount of food, it is also necessary to establish ecological corridors for them, so that they can freely exchange genes through these ecological corridors, and reduce the number of Siberian tigers entering the countryside.
In fact, the establishment of an ecological corridor for wild Siberian tigers is also conducive to the increase in the number of wild Siberian tigers in China. This is because the largest population of Siberian tigers is still in Russia, the number of Siberian tigers in China is small, and the best way to restore the number of wild Siberian tigers in China in a low-cost, simplest and most effective way is to establish an ecological corridor for them, use the ecological corridor to introduce them from Russia to China's forests, and restore the original ecosystem of China's local forests.
