On the evening of September 5, 10 Zhu Xi ushered in Nanshan National Park, Hunan. After a period of adaptation, they will be put back to nature. If everything goes well in the future, it will become the world's lowest latitude Zhu Xi inhabiting and reproduction.

Zhu Xi, who has a beautiful appearance, is known as "Bird China Treasure". Like the giant panda, it is a "successful model for the protection of the world's endangered species" contributed in China, and it has also been presented as a "national ceremony" to a friendly country.

The protection story of Zhu Xi in China began in the late 1970s. At that time, the wild Zhu Xi in the Far East of North Korea, South Korea, Japan, and Russia had announced extinct. The news of "Zhu Xi may have been extinct" caused international shock. Fortunately, in 1981, China discovered the last 7 Zhu Xi on the earth -they lived in the ravine in Yang County, Shaanxi. After continuous efforts from all walks of life, this surviving population has been continuously reproduced, expanded, and spread, and has got rid of the shadow of species extinction.

At present, there are about 8,000 wild Zhu Xi group in China, mainly distributed in areas above 30 degrees north latitude. This distribution characteristics are not conducive to Zhu Xi's species standing on the earth. A severe bird flu can bring a fatal threat to the existing Zhu Xi wild population. In this context, Nanshan National Park launched Zhu Xi to introduce work.

"Introduction" is the highest level and ultimate purpose of the protection of endangered species. It refers to the introduction of the individual of endangered species into the historical distribution of the species through artificial methods, and establish a self -maintained wild population.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Hunan was widely distributed in Zhu Xi. Nanshan National Park is located in the southwestern part of Hunan, consisting of multiple nature reserves, scenic spots, and geological parks. The latitude here is lower than the existing Zhu Xi field groups, and its ecological environment is also very suitable for Zhu Xi to survive and reproduce. After the preliminary investigation and demonstration and the consent of the relevant departments, Nanshan National Park decided to introduce the individuals of Zhu Xi from Shaanxi and other places to implement wild return.

The first batch of 10 Zhu Xi departed from the Zhu Xi National Nature Reserve Breeding Center in Yangxian County on September 5th. At 10 pm, I Shitian Village, which arrived at Nanshan National Park, Nanshan National Park. The village's natural ecological environment is good, and the distribution of farmland, river, and forests is suitable. It is one of the two wilderness selected by Nanshan National Park.

Zhang Min, a breeder of Zhu Xi in Zhuxi National Nature Reserve in Yang County, Shaanxi, participated in the transportation work of Zhu Xi. He said that 10 Zhu Xi were carefully selected adult individuals, and they had experienced wild training for more than two years before.

In Shitian Village, a large breeding cage has been built. 10 Zhu Xi will be placed back to nature after the adaptation period in the cage.

National park construction adheres to the concept of "ecological protection first, national representativeness and public welfare". Nanshan National Park is one of the first national park system reform pilot areas. The reconstruction of the Zhu Xi wild population is to fulfill the duties of the protection of rare and endangered animals in national parks, and it also shows the concept of "public welfare" of national parks.

Wang Mingxu, a member of the party group of the Hunan Forestry Bureau and the director of the Nanshan National Park Management Bureau, introduced that Nanshan National Park will focus on the establishment of a stable field population that can self -breed in the wild, and carry out a series of environmental education and scientific research work to further further. Give full play to the public welfare value of Nanshan National Park.

"Zhu Xi entered Nanshan National Park, and the influential species returned in the influential place. The combination of the two can produce greater influence. It can evoke the public's awareness of protecting biodiversity and protecting wildlife." Wang Mingxu said I hope to establish a stable field population in Nanshan National Park to contribute to the protection of the national Zhu Xi field population in the country. Models contribute Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions for global biological diversity.
