Lin Hao couldn''t help sighing!

Think of a public service advertisement you once saw.

A mother elephant and a baby elephant walked forward in the sunset on the beautiful grassland.

The little elephant said happily, "Mom, I have teeth!"

“……”

"Mom, I have teeth!"

The little elephant couldn''t wait for his mother''s congratulations. Some were just silent and wondered, "Mom, aren''t you happy for me?"

Although in the past many years, I still have a deep impression on this public service advertisement.

Elephants choose not to grow teeth in order not to be poached, which makes people sad and disappointed.

Moreover, elephants do not have teeth, which not only makes it inconvenient to drink and eat, but also affects other creatures that rely on elephants for survival.

I don''t know how many years it will take to truly reflect this intangible impact.

Lin Hao continued to look down: "if the ivory falls off, can it grow back?"

The two long tusks that people usually say are exposed outside actually refer to the front teeth of elephants! In his mouth are molars.

The outside part is not all. One third is wrapped in the head.

There are only two ways to get ivory. One is to wait for the elephant to die naturally, and the other is to kill the elephant.

In order to obtain complete ivory, poachers use extremely cruel means. After hunting the elephant, they cut off their head and nose so that they can take out the ivory. When an elephant was cut for its ivory, it was not even completely dead.

Lin Hao thought of the elephant lying on the ground. He was cruelly gouged an ugly hole in his face. He kept lying out with blood. His nose was cut off and thrown on the ground. His long teeth were taken out. Only his huge body gradually rotted, and flies flew happily among the flesh and blood.

Just thinking about it, I can''t help shivering, and a disgusting feeling rises in my heart!

The warehouse of Kenya Wildlife Protection Bureau once stored 132 tons of ivory from 12000 elephants, most of which were killed by stolen hunters. The warehouse was filled with a bloody smell, which made people can''t bear to look directly at it.

After the visit, someone expressed such emotion: "as soon as you enter the door, you smell the pungent smell of corpses, as if you see countless white bones. Seeing such a scene, you will never want to buy Ivory back, put it at home and wear it on your body, because you will feel that it is so cruel and ominous."

There were no authoritative statistics on the number of elephants in the past, but people from all walks of life agree that in the 1970s and 1980s, the number of African elephants decreased sharply from 1.3 million to less than 500000, and even reported that it was less than 400000.

It is equivalent to almost 100 elephants dying every day.

Elephant populations are in danger of extinction because of poaching and the ivory trade.

The next question is, will the ivory be destroyed?

There is an idea that African countries have a lot of ivory stocks, and destruction is also a waste. If the ivory trade is legalized and there are formal channels to sell ivory, can we combat poaching? And put the money from selling ivory into the cause of protecting elephants.

However, the ideal is beautiful and the reality is cruel.

After opening up the legal trade in ivory, elephant poaching and black market smuggling increased significantly.

Legal trade has stimulated consumers'' demand for ivory, and the mixture of legal and illegal has also brought difficulties to law enforcement.

Therefore, the ivory legal trade case was not passed, and 300 tons of ivory stocks have been destroyed all over the world.

It is embarrassing that China is the world''s largest consumer of ivory, and ivory has become the identity symbol of the rich.

But China is also moving.

At the end of the exhibition board, it reads: "from January 1, 2018, China will completely stop the processing and sales of ivory and products, and completely prohibit the ivory trade. It is illegal to buy and sell ivory products.

Only elephants need and have the right to Ivory! "

After reading the exhibition card, Lin Hao''s blood was boiling, especially the last sentence, which was sonorous and powerful. He wanted to shout along.

The children next to me are also watching the exhibition carefully!

What is prepared for the children at the bottom is a cartoon exhibition board, which tells the children to refuse the ivory trade in the form of character dialogue.

An adult said "ivory is a symbol of elegant taste", and the child said "I prefer them to live".

"I didn''t kill elephants." "although you didn''t kill elephants, buying ivory is tantamount to supporting killing!"

After reading the ivory exhibition board, Lin Hao strolled around in the observation cabin again.

Seeing a tourist behind the door, I don''t know what to look at. I''m curious.

Is there a sign behind the door? Who can see it in the back?

When they left, they also went to have a look.

There was no sign on it, so he wrote a limerick poem with black charcoal: "there is no money for the reporter''s interview, like a disaster year after year. When the holy decree comes, kill the elephant for the New Year!"

Between the lines, there is a deep hatred for elephants. They are oppressed by elephants and can''t live!

This hatred almost jumped out of the door.

Lin Hao was caught off guard. It was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and someone knocked him.

Subconsciously look at a display card next to it.

Just now, the exhibition of ivory is about the cruel elephant poaching caused by greedy people''s desire for beautiful ivory, and this exhibition is about the more complex conflict between man and elephant.

First, I told some stories about people like conflict.

In 15 years, the Xishuangbanna family was playing mahjong. The baby was placed next to it. Suddenly, an elephant rushed to their house, knocked it down, and four people were injured. Fortunately, someone saw the elephant coming and took the baby away. Otherwise, I don''t know what to do.

Professor Zhang, the authority of elephant research, took the students to do the project in wild elephant valley in Xishuangbanna. During the project, a landlady was responsible for cooking for the students. On a rainy day, the landlady went out and encountered wild elephants and was trampled to death by elephants.

During the 28 years from 1988 to 2016, 68 people were trampled to death by elephants in Xishuangbanna, Pu''er and other places, 320 people were injured by elephants, and agricultural losses exceeded 30 billion yuan.

For villagers, elephants are undoubtedly hidden dangers in life. They are afraid to encounter elephants when they go out, and they are afraid that their hard-earned crops will be ruined by elephants. This Limerick was written by Professor Zhang on the firewood door of a villagers'' home during his research in Pu''er.

The tragedy is not only human beings, but also 80 elephants were killed during this period.

In the 16th year, two young elephants passed by the village and died by eating crops that had been hit with pesticides. The elephants lingered in front of the bodies of two young elephants for several days, and the sound of grief resounded through the valley.

Elephants have a pregnancy period of 22 months. They can only give birth to one baby every five or six years. Elephant herds pay very little attention to small elephants.

The death of the young elephant made the elephant herd extremely irritable. For a period of time, it was hostile to human beings, creating no small panic in the local area.

There was also a family. The daughter-in-law came out to the bathroom and met an elephant into the yard. Seeing that he was about to rush past, the man hurried out and shot the elephant with a shotgun. The shot hit the fragile place behind the mother elephant''s ear and killed her directly.

The female elephant is still pregnant. The elephant herd is going to die of anger. Afraid of retaliation from the elephants, the villagers had to report the case and were arrested for illegal possession of guns.
