Chapter 851: Underground Warehouse of the Protection Center

The road is narrow but straight, and you can see a small conservation center with cement walls from a distance.

The Kenya Wildlife Conservation Center is not located in the center of the savannah, but on the outskirts of the city, at the border of the wilderness.

What can be seen is that the cement house is surrounded by barbed wire, enclosing a large area. The top of the barbed wire is even wrapped with caltrops. You can also see policemen surrounding the barbed wire with guns and live ammunition, which shows their seriousness.

Once here, Bi Fang took out the drone, opened the car window, and let it fly.

Seeing this, Chu Zhaohua sat upright.

"Don't be nervous." Bi Fang smiled and then started the live broadcast. This kind of behavior was familiar to him.

Soon, everyone who had booked the live broadcast was quickly notified.

An Internet storm was quickly ignited, and countless people's signals poured into the servers that had been prepared early.

The air conditioner was turned on to the lowest temperature, and the fan whirred in the coolant, turning up the slightest stream of water.

The waiting staff breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the viewers successfully enter the live broadcast room.

The number of people in the live broadcast room grew by leaps and bounds, and soon exceeded three million.

Although the live broadcast seemed a bit rushed and started less than five days after the announcement, this did not affect the enthusiasm and excitement of Bifang fans at all.

Cheetahs, like migrating geese, African savannah, various elements, and finally a Bifang.

How can we not make people look forward to it?

[Go, go, go, go, go! 】

【sofa】

【Front row reservation】

[Come on, tell me, what is the content of this live broadcast? 】

[Shit, are you already on the grassland? 】

[Damn, is that a real gun? 】

[Muyuren gives 10 spaceships to the host - it finally begins! 】

[Damn, the new tycoon! 】

[Damn, dang, there are ten spaceships right after the broadcast, who else is there! ! ! ! 】

After a short carnival, the audience saw the surrounding wilderness and even saw the soldiers in front of the barbed wire fence. They were a little shocked by this and hurriedly asked where this place was.

"Now it can be regarded as the edge of the grassland. We are going to the Kenya Wildlife Conservation Center now. When we get there, you will know what we are going to do this time."

It's so pitiful that Bi Fang still wants to show off his skills, and countless fans are going crazy.

[Why are you still trying to sell things off?]

[I can’t do it anymore, it’s too tortured]

[Poisonous, poisonous! 】

[Teacher Fang, please give me some, I feel like ants are crawling all over my body]

It's a pity that Bi Fang remained unmoved.

As long as he doesn't pay attention to the barrage, the fans' madness will not affect him.

With the audience eager to know the truth, Chu Zhaohua ordered the driver to stop at the door, came to the door to verify his identity, and entered the protection center.

Taking this opportunity, Bi Fang also observed the surrounding environment. There were some animals living in every barbed wire fence. It looked like he had entered a simple zoo.

"What happened to the lion?"

Bi Fang looked through the barbed wire fence and saw an African lion patrolling the ground.

It was an extremely thin lion, almost skinny, and a tragic scar could be seen on its abdomen.

[Hiss, this wound hurts just looking at it]

[Is this a rescued lion? 】

【so skinny】

"It's recovering from its injuries." Chu Zhaohua took a look and said, "The staff of the reserve found it a month ago. At that time, it was lying on the grass dying, with a gaping hole of nearly 40 centimeters in its abdomen, and even part of its intestines was exposed. ”

Bi Fang looked at the wound: "Did it hunt bison?"

"That's right." Chu Zhaohua was not surprised that Bi Fang could guess it. After all, the person next to him now was GOD FANG. "The staff also concluded based on the wounds and marks that he had been injured by a bison, so they brought him back under anesthesia for treatment. But because I injured my intestines at that time, I could only eat liquid food for a long time, and I was skinny. Fortunately, I have almost recovered now, and I should be able to gain weight soon. "

Bi Fang nodded.

It is common to be injured by a bison and brought to the point of death, only to be rescued by reserve staff.

It sounds like there is nothing wrong with it, but if you think about it more seriously, you will find that is this an alternative kind of interference with nature?

After all, this lion was not injured by humans. If, like the cheetah, its mother was killed by humans, it would be reasonable to bring her back and raise her, but the lion was injured by a bison.

When a lion preyed on a bison, humans watched the bison being preyed on because they did not interfere with nature. But on the other hand, the bison killed the lion, so why should we take action?

Just like Bi Fang did not choose to take action when the wolves were preying on the baby camel.

Sure enough, with the extremely large number of fans, as Bifang expected, some fans raised such a question.

But Bi Fang was not at all panicked by this kind of doubt, because a long time ago, he also had considerable doubts about this issue.

Isn’t this playing with double standards?

It wasn't until he later studied with an old professor that Bi Fang understood the difference.

"This is actually a compensatory rescue act."

"All our interventions, no intervention, are just a statement, and their essence has only one purpose - balance!"

【balance? 】

【Ah this. 】

“What is interfering with nature?”

"In a narrow sense, human interference in nature has become too serious and cannot be changed, and such interference continues all the time."

"Building dams changes rivers, which may be a disaster for some fish."

"Even if it is just building a concrete road, it will have a huge impact on the earthworms under the road."

"So unless humans do not exist, humans are interfering with nature all the time, and this process cannot be changed."

"The most commonly used method for humans to protect endangered animals is to formulate relevant laws to protect endangered animals and establish nature reserves so that endangered animals have a place to reproduce and thrive without threats."

"The legal protection of endangered animals and the establishment of nature reserves for protection are aimed at people."

"That is to say, the law is only binding on people, not animals."

For example, Tibetan antelopes naturally have their natural enemies in the wild, such as wolves, etc. It is not illegal for wolves to kill Tibetan antelopes, and humans will not interfere with this.

So such behavior of protecting endangered animals does not mean interfering with nature, but only eliminates human influence for endangered animals, and they themselves are still part of nature.

There are many similar examples, just like many zoologists who study wild animals, watching the objects they have been studying being hunted by natural enemies, and cannot intervene, because this is part of nature.

What Bifang said was easily understood by the audience.

"What humans need to do is to let nature return to nature itself."

"Whether it is the survival of the fittest or the survival of the fittest, all of this must return to its own nature, allowing organisms to burst out the most essential life potential."

"But ideals are beautiful, and reality is always skinny.

The emergence of humans is too strong for the fragile process of nature.

Moreover, even if the laws are enacted, there is still a loophole in the entire system - those greedy poachers.

In the case of poachers killing on a large scale, it has become an impossible thing to let nature return to nature itself.

So, in contrast to poachers, wildlife protection centers appeared, which is a compensatory intervention."

At some point, wild animals are in an extremely endangered state and may be in danger of extinction in the wild at any time. At this time, humans may intervene to maintain the continuation of this species.

For example, the South China tiger has become functionally extinct in the wild due to human hunting. Today's South China tigers are the offspring of artificial breeding after being captured.

Because of the construction of the dam, the spawning grounds of the Chinese sturgeon in the wild have been destroyed. In order to protect this species, humans release it artificially every year.

"Such human intervention is actually an interference with the laws of nature.

But most of these interfered species are extinct because of human beings. In fact, it is better to say that humans are making up for their mistakes rather than interfering with nature.

This is the so-called compensatory intervention, which is the real animal protection."

In addition, protecting cats and dogs is not the original intention of animal protection, but the result of human love.

The two are completely different things.

[But African buffaloes are also the target of poachers, why only rescue lions? 】

"Good question. Actually, the reason is very simple, because lions are killed more than buffaloes."

Bifang snapped his fingers, "Remember what I said? Balance."

"Everything humans do now is for balance. We need to keep predators and prey in a balance without human intervention."

"For a species to become extinct and disappear forever, it should be a normal extinction in nature, not being killed by humans."

"When poachers kill many lions and a small number of buffaloes, humans need to rescue lions to avoid this imbalance caused by human intervention."

"And this kind of rescue is not a rampant behavior. If the lion is killed on the spot during the hunting process, then this kind of rescue will not appear, but if it is injured but not dead, this kind of rescue becomes important."

"This is compensatory rescue, compensating for those animals that have been killed more and destroyed the balance."

"Unfortunately, even if humans rack their brains to let nature return to nature, there is a very fatal problem that has always existed, that is, in such constant compensation, the entire natural system is constantly declining."

Hearing this, the audience was excited.

Yes, the overall number of all animals is indeed balanced, but it is declining in a stable balance.

Let nature truly return to nature, there is still a long way to go.

[I think I understand it a little bit]

[On the surface, it is to save the lions injured by the buffalo, but in essence, it is to save the lions shot by hunters, is that what you mean? ]

[Good guy, the summary is good]

[Awesome, simple and easy to understand, Fang Shen’s explanation is just for fun, if you really want to understand it, you have to look at the netizens]

Retracting his scattered thoughts, Bifang entered the park under the leadership of Chu Zhaohua.

The man who came out to greet Bifang was a man dressed as a soldier. Bifang looked at his shoulders and was surprised to find that this man was actually a general.

"This is Mr. Julius Kimani, Acting Director of the Kenya National Wildlife Service."

Chu Zhaohua introduced beside him.

Bifang nodded and stepped forward to shake hands with the man.

The Kenya National Wildlife Service is a large unit with thousands of armed personnel, equivalent to part of the Kenyan armed police, responsible for patrolling and guarding all national parks and wildlife reserves.

Armed anti-poaching is one of their most important tasks.

Julius smiled and actually spoke a fairly standard Chinese sentence: "Mr. Bifang is honored to be here!"

"You are too polite." Bifang responded in English.

Kenya's official language should actually be Swahili. Although English is also an official language, it is a step behind Swahili.

Swahili belongs to the Bantu language branch and is one of the most widely used languages ​​in Africa. It is one of the three major languages ​​in Africa along with Arabic and Hausa.

Unfortunately, Bifang did not get the language voucher in the past two days and failed to master this language skill. At most, he only knew a few common greetings.

Fortunately, he could communicate in English, so there was no big problem.

Then Chu Zhaohua introduced the second heavyweight, Stephen Manekini, the director of the conservation center, and several other senior figures.

Bifang was not too excited to meet so many people.

Such a scene is both troublesome and difficult to deal with. In fact, he wanted to meet Harley right away and pet this big cat.

It is inevitable to visit the entire conservation center. Bifang himself is actually curious to a certain extent, and it is good to see it.

Chu Zhaohua also said goodbye at this time. He is not a member of the conservation center, but he has a good relationship with them and often cooperates with them.

The main task this time is to bring Bifang here. Now that the task is completed, Chu Zhaohua has to go back to his own business.

Everyone present expressed their gratitude to Chu Zhaohua and watched him leave.

General Kemali was very happy about Bifang's arrival, because China and Kenya have always had a good relationship. Not only are they foreign trade partners, but China has also made efforts to protect wild animals.

Last week, the Chinese government just donated 18 vehicles and some other equipment to the conservation center.

At his kind invitation, he even took Bifang to visit the underground warehouse of the conservation bureau.

When a female police officer struggled to open the iron door, a special smell came to her nose.

Bifang couldn't help but cover his nose. The smell was hard to describe, but when the light illuminated the underground warehouse, everyone's eyes widened.

[What the hell is this? ]

[Ivory? ]

[Is this too much? ]

The audience in front of the live broadcast room fell into a stagnation.

The two small rooms were full of ivory. The ivory here was almost all taken alive by poachers after killing elephants and chopping the elephants' skulls with knives!

Many ivory ends were stained with blood.

"Each ivory has a mark and number, indicating the storage time, weight, and area where each ivory was seized."

"Kenya's current national ivory inventory is 132 tons, rhino horns are 1.5 tons, and the ivory in the two rooms we visited is 84 tons."

Assistant Director of the Kenya Wildlife Service Rubia explained and added: "This means that 12,000 elephants have been killed. These are just what we have seized. There are more ivory smuggled out."

Hearing this, the audience was instantly indignant.

[Poachers really deserve to die! ]
