I Have a Safari Park
Chapter 484
It was already afternoon when I came to Qu Nan''s house.
When they came to Qunan''s house, Fang ye said hello to their hostess and Qunan''s children "zasidler".
Little girl, little boy, his face is a little tanned, wearing national jewelry and simple clothes.
The blue carp took out several packets of candy and chocolate prepared before and said with a smile to the children, "Hello, this is a gift for you!"
The child was still a little shy and didn''t take it.
Qu Nan looked at the gift and said something to the children. The children accepted it and thanked them constantly.
The hardworking hostess warmly brought butter tea and some food. She couldn''t speak Chinese, but kept gesturing to them to drink tea and eat.
Fang Ye tried it and felt that the butter tea tasted good. The milk was mellow and thick, salty and fragrant.
Dorje said with a smile: "drinking this is good, it can alleviate altitude reaction and prevent lip cracking!"
"Well, you have to drink more."
Generally, the best time to observe most animals is when it''s just dawn in the morning and it''s getting dark in the evening. During this time, animals are relatively active.
You can go out to look for the snow leopard before dark, but Fang Ye is not so worried.
It''s also good to stay in the house and have a chat with the Tibetans. Learn about the work of Mr. LV here and see how the local people get along with the snow leopard.
Seeing that Fang Ye is interested in understanding, Qu Nan also talks about the local legends he knows and some community things about animal protection. Duoji helps them translate them.
Qu Nan said, "snow leopard is the mount of an air warrior!"
Dorjee helped explain that in Tibetan Buddhism, karate is a Dharma protector. Women are called karate mothers and men are called karate warriors.
Fang Ye listened to them, gradually deepened his understanding and nodded frequently.
Here, there is the culture of sacred mountain and lake.
Before the Tubo Dynasty, mountain god worship was a common belief in the snow area. Each tribe had its own specific sacred mountain, and the gods living on the mountain were worshipped as the "protective god" of the tribe.
This belief culture has been continued. Tibetans believe that the sacred mountain has the same joys, sorrows and joys as people, both sheltering and punishing people.
Therefore, Tibetans living here have more respect for nature.
Qu Nan said that a harmonious relationship is good for both humans and animals. Both humans, insects and beasts have the right to equal survival.
This culture of equal care for all living beings naturally has a better attitude towards wildlife.
For them, a snow leopard is like a mount of the mountain god, walking on the ridge line, which is very respected.
When the researchers came to investigate the snow leopard, they asked the villagers for help.
At that time, the mining here was very powerful. The mining was on the sacred mountain and lake of the local people.
So the people are very happy, because if they want to protect them, they have the right to take care of them, including poachers or people who come to mine outside. The protection of Shenshan and its surroundings is meritorious and has been supported by many herdsmen in the village.
Fang Ye sighed!
When we first protected giant pandas, we always publicized the surrounding villagers. People have been asking why we should protect pandas and what is the relationship between protecting pandas and ourselves.
However, in the snow area, Tibetans do not think that protecting animals and taking good care of wild animals is a special thing, but a natural thing.
After the establishment of Sanjiangyuan National Park, the mechanism of people''s protection has also been adopted, which has become an innovation here.
Every family living in the National Park employs a monitor with a salary of 1800 yuan a month to do the snow leopard monitoring project, arrange some infrared cameras, collect data and carry out anti poaching patrol.
Because the villagers know more about the distribution of local wildlife and the terrain of mountain roads. In another high-altitude area, local people are used to living here, and scientific researchers will have all kinds of discomfort when crossing mountains and mountains.
There are also considerations of poverty alleviation, which can be said to kill more with one stone.
As a monitor, Qu Nan''s main task is to arrange cameras in places where snow leopards and various wild animals haunt. He checks them three to five times a month to see if the camera is broken, whether there is electricity, and whether the storage card is full. During the inspection, he will also patrol the mountain and clean up the garbage.
Of course, human animal conflict also exists all the time.
Like some villages, snow leopards can hunt more than 200 cattle a year.
But this sacred mountain and lake, respecting the culture of animals, played a very important role in the process of conflict.
The tolerance of the masses is much higher, so that the snow leopard can have a good population on the plateau.
After investigation and research, they also want to find ways to solve this human animal conflict.
In fact, the problem of human animal conflict, in the final analysis, reflects the conflict between people and the differences between different groups in treating wildlife.
Because researchers like them, people who love wild animals outside, want the snow leopard to survive here, but they don''t pay anything, and the local people really pay.
Whether the people are willing to protect or not, it is unfair for the local people to bear the cost.
Therefore, at the beginning, a human animal conflict fund was established. One part was issued by the National Park and the other by the Shanshui nature conservation center. Herdsmen insured their cattle for 3 yuan each.
There are auditors in each village. When herdsmen find that the cattle have been eaten, they can contact the auditors to take photos, and then the auditors upload records and apply for compensation.
After the establishment of the fund, losses have been reduced to a certain extent, and herdsmen are more willing to participate in community protection.
Later, he applied for the franchise of the National Park, which is now the experience project of big cat valley.
These people who monitor the snow leopard have mastered a lot about the habits of the snow leopard. They can bring tourists to have some experience, and they can also subsidize the Tibetans.
After the first year of franchise, the income was good. The local government and the people discussed how to spend the money.
The Tibetan community attaches great importance to fairness.
The protection of snow leopard is not only the efforts of one person, but also the efforts of the whole village, so the interests should be shared.
Finally, it was discussed that 45% of the monitoring team members who are tour guides can buy old-age insurance for the elderly, and the remaining 10% can be invested in the insurance of leopards eating cattle.
Fang Ye was amazed: "it''s really good!"
Ansai''s model is a good example of the harmonious coexistence between man and animals.
It is not simply to compensate the villagers, but to respect the villagers and promote the villagers to become the main body of protection.
Many people are constantly trying to explore the protection of wild animals.
