Wild Muscle Swan "Three Treasures" mistakenly swallowed two fish hooks, and their necks were swollen and their esophagus was seriously damaged, and their lives were worrying. Fortunately, this swan, who suffered internal injuries, was discovered in time and rescued in time. After surgery, the pet doctor took out two fish hooks in his neck esophagus and mouth. At present, the swan is in the observation and recovery period.
htmlOn September 26, Dahe Daily·Yu Video paid attention to and reported in detail.What is the current protection status of this group of national key wild animals? At present, what protection measures are available for the relevant departments regarding mute swan protection? Is the idea of demarcating a swan reserve proposed by the volunteers feasible?
folk protection power
"The living environment of these mute swans is very bad. In addition to the cruise ships passing by the lake, there are fishing in the morning, morning and night." Goryeo, a volunteer at the Bird and Bird Protection Association of Zhengdong New District, Zhengzhou City, drove away the family and prevented them from disturbing the swans last Sunday afternoon for a while. As a result, after a while, two young people went there, both fishing at the south inlet of the South Lotus Flower Pond. "This place is the leading position of Beilong Lake, where the swans live there every day. Xiao Fubao is the fish hook that he ate here. I was very angry when I saw it, and I spoke a little ugly."
In order to enhance the protection of this group of swans, there are currently 280 caring people in the Swan Protection WeChat group of Goryeo.
"In order to protect these swans, we are working hard on all sides. In addition to reporting to the mayor's hotline, Zhengzhou government service platform, etc., we also contacted the members of the Zhengzhou Municipal CPPCC, wanting them to help report the proposal on the swan protection issue and call for this matter." Gao Li said that they also hope that Dahe Daily Yu Video can help to provide key supervision of Zhengzhou Forestry Bureau. "They are the competent departments and have the responsibility to report this matter to Zhengzhou City."
In response, the duty staff of the Zhengzhou Municipal Government Service Convenience Hotline 12345 told Dahe Daily Yu Video reporter that this issue has indeed been reported by citizens before and has been transferred to the relevant departments of the Zhengdong New District Management Committee for implementation, and no relevant reply has been received yet. They are also following up on the specific progress. They will also transfer the matter to relevant municipal departments for implementation.
In this regard, Goryeo believes that the issue of swan protection and local management are not very effective. This issue should also be raised to the municipal or even provincial level in order to coordinate planning and management.
Like Goryeo, many volunteers in Zhengzhou spontaneously organized and established a professional protection team for mute swans to protect mute swans. Since then, ensuring winter food supply, cleaning up illegal fishing gear, persuading and preventing human interference in activities, shift care, etc. have become the daily work of the "Mutous Swan Protection Team".
To meet the needs of mute swan breeding, hatching and habitation, the volunteers also raised their own expenses to establish 11 artificial floating islands , and also planted reeds, lotus and bamboo by the river to create a natural environment suitable for mute swans to live.
Under the careful protection of volunteers, the number of mute swans in Jialu River once increased from the first few to 33.
Zhengzhou official protection action
On June 23, 2022, the General Office of the Zhengzhou Municipal People's Government issued the "Notice on the Protection and Management Plan for the Jialu River Mute Swan".
"Jialu River Mute Swan Protection Management Plan" proposes that my country's " Wildlife Protection Law " clearly states that wild animal resources belong to the state, and the state protects wild animals and their habitats. People's governments at or above the county level shall formulate requirements for protection plans and measures related to wild animals and their habitats. In order to increase the protection of national second-class protected animal mute swans, improve the living environment of mute swans, and maintain biodiversity , this work plan is studied and formulated in accordance with the spirit of the special meeting on the protection of mute swans in Jialu River.
This plan is based on my country's "Wildlife Protection Law" and "Wetland Protection Law" and in accordance with the principle of territorial management, the protection and management scope of the mute swan habitat of the Jialu River is delineated: within the blue line of the Jialu River, starting from Beijing-Guangzhou Expressway in the east and ending at the scientific
Avenue in the west.( Huiji District management scope: from Jingguang Expressway in the east and 420 meters downstream of Huanhe Bridge in the west; the management scope of the Hi-tech Zone: from 420 meters downstream of Huanhe Bridge in the east and 420 meters downstream of Huanhe Bridge in the east and 420 meters downstream of Science Avenue in the west.)
Subsequently, the Zhengzhou Forestry Bureau, Zhengzhou Water Resources Bureau, Zhengzhou Huiji District Government, Zhengzhou High-tech Zone Management Committee, and Zhengzhou Public Security Bureau Forest Public Security Bureau jointly issued the "Notice on the Management of Mute Swan Habitat in Jialu River".
The Notice requires that the above-mentioned departments and their township offices and other departments under their jurisdiction perform their respective duties and responsibilities, and jointly do a good job in protecting mute swans from the Jialu River and managing habitats. Within the scope of management, citizens are prohibited from walking their dogs, fishing, feeding them privately and shooting drones.
"Equipment and individuals have the obligation to protect mute swans and habitats, and have the right to supervise and report all illegal acts that endanger mute swans and their habitats." Shang Guangzhu, director of the Wildlife Protection Department of Zhengzhou Forestry Bureau, once said.
Is it feasible to delineate the swan reserve?
On September 26, a reporter from Dahe Daily Yu Video found that drones flew past the concentrated habitat of swans (the head position on the west side) during a visit to the Beilonghu Wetland Park in Zhengzhou City, where mute swans live in groups. Moreover, near the concentrated habitat of mute swans, there are yachts passing by the lake.
The citizens who went to visit also approached the lake, loudly disturbing the swans next to them and other nearby birds, deliberately letting other birds fly into the water and enjoying the scene of the birds flapping across the water. This move was also dissuaded and stopped by reporters on the spot.
Gory and other volunteers who love and protect birds, suggest that Zhengzhou can consider demarcating a swan protection area, demarcating a protection area, and providing strong protection in Beilonghu Wetland Park, where mute swans often appear?
In response to this, Zhang Weidong, deputy director of Zhengzhou Forestry Bureau, replied to the reporter of Dahe Daily Yu Video, saying that the protected area was demarcated by the State Council and the Provincial Government. The protection of wild animals is based on the Wild Protection Law and the Protection Regulations. No regulations on a certain species have been issued. Previously, Zhengzhou had been required to strengthen patrol and supervision.
He said that some volunteers and citizens overprotect wild animals and treat them like poultry and even personal pets, which is not what wild animals need. Moreover, if the protected area is delineated, there are many restrictions and very strict, and some areas cannot be operated by humans. Sanmenxia is because Yellow River demarcates a wetland protection area, while Beilong Lake is an artificial lake, and in the future it will be a commercial and financial area, with dense population and frequent activities.
"In fact, the best way to protect wild animals is to stay away from and not disturb them. We will also vigorously strengthen publicity in this area and improve citizens' awareness of protection." Zhang Weidong said.
Shang Guangzhu, director of the Wildlife Protection Department of Zhengzhou Forestry Bureau, said that Sanmenxia was originally a tourist attraction, and tens of thousands of swans migrated from the former Yellow River road, thus establishing a national protected area. At present, the habitat of pong-nosed swans in Zhengzhou is mainly based on natural laws and managed by local authorities. Now, the actual conditions for its survival are not yet mature, and it is more appropriate to further analyze and judge as a scientific research project to promote project establishment. When the conditions are met, the local area can submit an application and the government can approve it, thereby establishing a corresponding protected area institution.
