Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 277 A Request for Help from the Yellow-throated Marten
Chen Ying had thought about a lot of things, but had never considered this issue.

Manman next to it also looked at it with an innocent face.

Don't ask it, because if you ask it, the only thing it can say is that it can't speak at all. Jin Yan is missing his child so much that he's going crazy.

Chen Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she picked up the two and walked out.

"You're still young. If you don't have a baby this year, you'll definitely have one next year. Why do you want a baby so badly?"

Jin Yan hummed and hawed for a long time before finally telling the reason.

"They said that only those with cubs can eat those sweet fruits and crunchy bamboo shoots."

Hearing this, even Manman, who was chewing a pumpkin, was stunned and turned her head to look at it in disbelief.

Just for a bite of food, is it that serious?
Jin Yan, who continued to hum, hesitated for a moment and added another sentence.

"I am the eldest. They all gave birth, but I didn't..."

Chen Ying almost couldn't hold back her laughter, and her chest ached from trying so hard to hold it back.

"It's okay. They're just an example for you. When you give birth to your cubs next year, you'll be familiar with the process."

Chen Ying had never expected that as a veterinarian responsible for rescue work, he would also have to work part-time as an animal psychological counselor.

Sure enough, nothing in the system is given for free.

After relieving Jin Yan's irritability, the two little guys ran to the animal house intimately again.

One of the two animal houses was converted into a panda delivery room, while the other one remained arranged in the same way as before.

Because two red pandas came to live with him, Xia Sen installed an empty cat box and used it as a sleeping nest for Jin Yan and Man Man.

I guess it’s because they stayed in the first aid station for too long and had a somewhat different smell on their bodies, so these little guys, who should have repelled each other, got along very well.

According to Xia Sen, the two red pandas were carried out for a walk by Zhima twice.

"Originally, the panda monitoring team thought this was not a good idea because it would make the animals lose their vigilance against each other. But Miss Dao gave Zhima a small pinhole camera, and they went out to not just stroll around, but to fight with others."

Xia Sen paused and suddenly looked up at Chen Ying.

"Brother Ying, can you believe it? Zhima actually went to compete with the street kid and the little bear girl for food, and the food was an old dead antelope."

Chen Ying was stunned for a moment. "Pandas are not completely vegetarians. Black bears are omnivores. I can understand that it would eat meat. But you said it went to steal food from a street kid, and didn't get beaten?"

"Of course not, but Sesame is quick. When he saw Street Drifter was about to hit him, he climbed up the tree."

The size of the street slug is larger than a sesame seed. If it climbs too high, the tree will not be able to support it, and the black bear cannot do anything to the sesame seed.

"There are also Big Crescent and Little Crescent. These two brothers help Zhima deal with the street urchins. They are small in size but very brave. They even dare to yell at the street urchins."

If it weren’t for the little female bear, the Crescent Brothers would probably have been beaten badly.

The dead takin was eventually taken away by the rangers for disposal. Neither black bears nor sesame seeds are big meat-eating beasts, and the takin would easily rot and cause other problems if left in the forest.

The main reason was that the place where the takin died was not suitable. There were three baby pandas and two black bear cubs around them. If something happened, everyone could not afford the loss.

At noon, the stationmaster of the management station came over in person.

"This year's test data is out, and the number of animal activity traces in Jiamugou is nearly double that of last year. The leader said that in the future, we may have to choose a place farther away for rescue and release."

This result is both painful and happy.

The increase in animals indicates that the ecological environment is improving. However, if the carrying capacity is exceeded, it is easy to cause the food chain to collapse.

"I came here this time to seek Brother Xiaying's opinion on whether we should cooperate with the management stations of Wenquangou and Gulagou to patrol the forest."

Originally, the management area of ​​each maintenance station was fixed, but last time Chen Ying and Lao Gao expanded the scope and made a tour, their superiors appropriately expanded the management area of ​​the maintenance station based on their investigation results.

Now the patrol area of ​​their three adjacent maintenance stations has increased by at least a quarter. If they still follow the previous patrol plan, it will definitely not work and will result in omissions in many locations.

However, adjusting the plan requires adding more staff, which in turn means higher costs in all areas.

If the amount of funding from superiors remains unchanged, adding staff will mean that everyone's income will decrease, and old employees will definitely have some concerns.

“Why don’t we learn from other places’ forest protection stations and hand over the task of protecting the forests to the villages and only need to pay a subsidy every month?”

Forest patrols within short distance and safe areas can be arranged by villages and forest farms, and management stations only need to conduct random checks and patrols in more distant and difficult-to-reach areas.

Moreover, technology is much more convenient now. It is very easy to designate locations and use drones to patrol forest fires.

Humans should not step into the deep mountains and old forests where there is no one. Returning the mountains and forests to the animals is the true meaning of conservation.

The station chief came to see Chen Ying to seek his opinion and see if there were any problems with the patrol route that the three station chiefs had agreed upon.

Another thing is to know what rare animals may exist on each route and how to patrol and protect them.

When I opened the tablet, a map appeared.

"This is the map of panda activity areas that was collected this year. The colored ones are the activity data left by pandas wearing locators. The gray ones are the locations where pandas appeared that were discovered by infrared cameras and forest rangers during their work." With the integration of information, the entire map of the natural reserve formed by the three large reserves is presented. The densely packed light spots on it are divided into seven or eight colors, and there are also some special light spots.

"This area is the center of giant panda activity. Data from previous years showed that there were only 13 to 15 active giant pandas, but this year, according to statistics from various equipment and instruments, the number has exceeded ."

The stationmaster had a smile on his face.

After all, this large area belongs to the Giant Panda Reserve. Although other animals are also protected, the increase in the giant panda population is what these panda people are most concerned about.

After seeing the giant pandas, I looked at the distribution of National One and National Two. Sure enough, in the almost one and a half years from last year to this year, the number of animals here has increased more than in the previous five years.

Could it be that this place is really a Feng Shui treasure land, a place where a holy fetus is conceived?

Seeing that even the South China tiger has reappeared this year, it feels like the blood of animals is reviving.

After chatting with the webmaster, we talked about Lao Gao.

"We just received a notice last month that the Bird Research Institute will be stationed at these three locations from October to December next year, and our management station will be responsible for patrolling and supplying. Our area is under the charge of Dr. Gao, and now that he is injured, I don't even have anyone to ask for advice. Fortunately, Brother Ying, you are back, otherwise I would have been racking my brains over this matter."

I knew in my heart that what he said was definitely an exaggeration, but it just sounded very comfortable.

Chen Ying copied the distribution map on the webmaster's tablet and enlarged it to look at it for a long time.

He had an idea that Munduner and the three cubs might be guided northwards.

When the three cubs grow up and continue to expand northward, will it be possible to open up the ecological corridor that has been cut off for many years?
In the early days, giant pandas were not found only in Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces.

Since it existed before, why can't it exist in the future?

If it really spreads northward and connects the ecological corridor between the two large protected areas, it will be of great help to the continuation of the small population.

At least the improvement in population genes will be better than the current artificial improvement.

If you count them, there are three cubs of Mendun'er, two cubs of Dabaijiaojiao, and the big fat boy Fufu, which makes a total of six.

Even if half of it is divided, based on the 40-hectare territory of a cub, hundreds of hectares of bear-free areas will be eliminated.

Chen Ying felt his scalp tingling and was extremely excited when he thought that many, many years later, the goal that netizens jokingly said would be for every person in Sichuan to have a giant panda might come true.

Just when Chen Ying was imagining that she would have a black and white ball of her own in the future, Xia Sen's exclamation came from downstairs.

"Hey, ah, be careful, go away!"

What's going on? Why is there so much noise?
Chen Ying pushed open the window, but before he could say anything, a nimble little creature jumped in.

Chen Ying took a quick look and got scared.

"Fuck, a yellow-throated marten!"

When this little thing gets so ferocious, the word "ferocious" cannot even be used to describe it.

But this was the first time that a yellow-throated marten came to visit him.

Sure enough, it’s because Sister Bao and Jin Ya have been away for too long, and their scent has dissipated, so they can no longer be a deterrent to these little guys, right?

But the next second, Chen Ying felt something was wrong and turned his head to look.

Wow, the big and small crescent moons don’t follow the usual path, they climb up directly along the supporting pillars of the balcony.

Not only did he come up and say nothing, he also pounced directly at the yellow-throated marten.

In just three minutes, his room looked like a place where bandits had passed through.

Fortunately, I was quick enough to protect the computer, otherwise the screen would have been broken.

Chen Ying was so angry that he couldn't catch the nimble yellow-throated marten, so he grabbed the skin of the necks of the big and small crescent-shaped martens and threw them to the balcony outside for the bear.

The yellow-throated marten lay on the bookcase in the room and laughed at the two bears.

Damn it, this mink’s good days are coming to an end!
Just when Chen Ying was about to take off his coat and fight Diao for three hundred rounds, a golden-red figure jumped in from the window.

When it comes to flexibility, Xiao Jin never considered that he would lose!
This mink actually rushed into the first aid station to act wild. Is Mr. Jin too gentle to these guys?

Seeing Xiao Jin coming in, the yellow-throated marten finally became afraid. It stood up and leaned against the wall, making a sharp squeaking sound.

"Wait a minute, Xiao Jin, don't be so harsh."

After hearing the cry of the yellow-throated marten, Chen Ying stopped Xiao Jin from biting the other to death in time.

"Sick? Or are many minks sick at the same time?"

Chen Ying's face changed slightly. He hadn't thought of any situation that could cause the yellow-throated martens to become ill, unless it was an infectious disease or collective poisoning?
Whatever the situation, it must be dealt with immediately.

Chen Ying asked Xiao Jin to help guard the first aid station. He put on his clothes, put on a protective mask and a first aid kit, and followed the yellow-throated marten into the woods to check the situation.
