People always say that they should respect nature, but they often hold on to the idea of "man conquer nature". People often have the idea of "gray zone" about "right and wrong", but they often want to distinguish black and white for nature. I have to say that human beings are really a contradiction.
For humans, as long as they think they are harmless creatures, they can survive in the world; otherwise, they will be killed.
1859, in a farmer in Australia, Thomas Oss received a special gift - 24 hares sent from the UK. This animal that looks harmless and even a little cute has brought great ecological damage to Australia. This launched a "human-rabbit war".
At the beginning of the last century, the predator wolf on the top of the food chain of Yellowstone National Park was hunted by humans in large quantities because humans not only covet the fur of wolves, but also believe that they are extremely vicious. It is because of their existence that their flocks were attacked and their property losses were suffered. Of course, people living there often seem to be in a panic situation, fearing that they will die because of the wolf. So people carried the hunting rifle and regarded hunting wolves as their mission, and they also enjoyed the fun that hunting brought them.
However, all living things in nature have their reasons. The large number of wolves hunted has led to the deterioration of the entire ecosystem of Yellowstone National Park. Seventy years after the wolves disappeared, in 1995, scientists reintroduced 14 wolves into Yellowstone National Park despite the opposition of local farmers and herdsmen. And this book "Fourteen Wolves" recreates the true story of the wolf pack returning to Yellowstone National Park.
In this picture book, it not only introduces the history and natural environment of Yellowstone National Park, but also the deterioration of the ecology of Yellowstone Park after the hunting of Gray Wolf . It also tells the story of how gray wolves returned to Yellowstone National Park, and how they survived and reproduced, gradually changing the ecology of the park. And what is the Yellowstone National Park after the ecological restoration? In the final part, the picture book reveals the secrets of the natural operation behind this ecological restoration, tells the difference between re-wilding and animal protection, and further lists successful cases of re-wilding animals around the world.
For teenagers, this is not just a very good science picture book, but also popularizes the ecological chain of nature, and shows them the diversity of ecology in nature. It seems to tell children that they should look at problems with a developmental perspective rather than just limiting their attention to the current situation. Although gray wolf can eat sheep and hurt people, it is an indispensable part of Yellowstone National Park. Because of their disappearance, elk will flood, and vegetation will be ruthlessly destroyed, and other creatures will lose their homes. Therefore, the existence of gray wolf is not wrong, but an important part of maintaining ecological stability. This seems to be a warning to children that they should not make everything absolute, but should consider all issues comprehensively, because many things exist in , which means reasonable , and the ecology of nature is also complex and diverse.
At the end of the whole book, in the introduction to the fourteen wolfs, I saw the news that several wolf was illegally shot and killed by humans, which is really heartbreaking. Human beings do not seem to stop wanting to "dominate the world", and many people still cannot respect nature...
. I think the greatest educational significance of this book is to let children realize the diversity of nature's ecology, thereby inspiring children to love and awe for nature.
I hope every child can have a heart that loves nature and respects nature! May they love animals and plants and live in harmony with the world!
