Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 285 Shameless, bullying the weak with the strong and the few with the many!

Plants, soil, water.

After collecting some important data, they prepared to return the same way.

The next time I come here will be at least half a year later, or maybe until April next year when the ice and snow melt before I can enter here.

They marked this spot as a key point, and next time they come, they might try to build a fixed hut here as a place to stay.

The environment and climate here as well as the surrounding animal and plant resources are quite rich. If the policies of "releasing tigers back to the mountains" and "migrating southern bears to the north" are really to be implemented, this place will definitely need permanent human presence.

They are just the vanguard this time and just need to bring the information back. As for whether the plan can be implemented and how to implement it, it is none of their business.

The sampling access system that was implemented internally last year will soon be implemented nationwide.

Scientific research into the core area of ​​the reserve requires a permit to enter and collect samples.

Regardless of whether the collection is animals, plants, amphibians, fish, etc., the corresponding documents and permitted scope must be checked when entering and leaving the protected area.

This is also a measure implemented to further isolate poaching and illegal mining.

With these measures, although the evil deeds of those who collude with both domestic and foreign forces and want to abuse their power for personal gain cannot be completely curbed, they can at least be reduced by 80%.

Chen Ying applied for a permit to enter the mountains this time, and when leaving the reserve, relevant personnel would check and inspect each person one by one, and then register the whereabouts of the samples and assign them to each person.

The return journey was smooth. The only thing that surprised him was that the golden cat actually followed him out.

The tabby golden cat is an adult female golden cat, about seven or eight years old.

It was in the best years of its life and followed Chen Ying out. I don’t know if it was attracted by the smell of Xiao Jin on his body.

When they were about to enter the human activity area, Chen Ying finally found an opportunity to ask it.

"I want to see the environment over there. There are only three cats like me around my territory, and I don't like it. Maybe you can have other cats that attract me."

Whether according to human aesthetics or the aesthetics of golden cats, the golden cat in front of us is a well-deserved "face king".

Suddenly, Chen Ying became worried about her own Jin Ya.

With the intervention of this golden cat, can the friendship between Xiao Jin and Jin Ya continue?

Although in the animal world, reproduction is their instinct and has nothing to do with love, but after getting along with them for a long time, Chen Ying always treats them as her own children.

Reason told him that Jin Ya and Xiao Jin should separate to complete the most important step in their lives.

But his emotions made him hope that Jin Ya and Xiao Jin could support each other in the cruel nature and accompany each other until the last moment of their lives.

Forget it, let nature take its course.

Chen Ying sighed helplessly and decided to be an ostrich for a while.

Anyway, there are other golden cats out there, what if they don’t like Little Golden?

"Brother Chi, let's find a place to camp in front. This is the largest bamboo forest nearby. We need to collect some samples and take them back. By the way, let's see if Dabai and the others have arrived here."

This place is also marked as a highlight on the mobile phone's saved map.

This is an area identified by experts as potentially suitable for giant pandas to live in.

But they did not come to investigate in person, and relied entirely on analysis from satellite maps.

One of the most important tasks for Chen Ying and his team on their return journey is to determine the area of ​​the bamboo forest, the bamboo species, the growth conditions of the bamboo forest, whether there is a water source nearby, and other issues.

The results of releasing the drone and scanning in several directions showed that the bamboo forest here is not small, at least forty to fifty square kilometers in length.

The so-called continuity does not mean that the entire area is covered with bamboo forests, but that each bamboo forest is not far apart.

In addition, the bamboo species vary at different altitudes, making it convenient for giant pandas to obtain sufficient food in different seasons and different areas.

The experts' analysis is still very reliable. There are rich varieties of bamboo here, and there are five or six types that are suitable for giant pandas to eat. The quality is very good, so there is no need to worry about the giant pandas not having enough to eat.

Look, Dabai and Jiaojiao have been showing off in the bamboo forest for who knows how long.

After the tent was set up, Chen Ying gave some instructions to Brother Chi, picked up his things and went to find Dabai.

The golden cat that had been following all the way was eating. When it saw Chen Ying walking up the mountain, it chased after him with the unfinished food in its mouth.

"Dabai, Jiaojiao, you two are here, where are the two little ones?"

After looking around and not seeing Leo and the cub, Chen Ying patted Dabai's soft belly and asked.

"Mee-mee, they're going to find some water to drink."

Is there a water source here?
He was still thinking about this question as he was walking along the stream just now.

There is water in the stream, but the terrain in this area is much steeper than that in the uninhabited area.

You can also see some small waterfalls formed by springs on both sides, but these are seasonal. After September and October, the temperature on the mountain drops, and these springs may be frozen or even dried up due to snow on the top of the mountain.

"Mee-mee, there is a place with water on the mountain, it's not small, the two little ones went there to play, you go and see, I haven't eaten enough yet."

Because of its large size, it needs to eat constantly to maintain its body needs.

So Dabai and Jiaojiao are either eating or on their way to eating.

Chen Ying touched Jiaojiao's belly, walked over them and went up the mountain.

Following the directions of Dabai and Jiaojiao's excrement, we soon found the two little ones playing in the puddle. The puddle was not big, about two or three square meters, and there was a small spring in the middle, bubbling with water.

The water in the puddle has been made turbid by the two little ones, who are still splashing and playing in the water.

Look at the cub standing up. The water is only up to its knees, so it should be quite safe.

Seeing Chen Ying, the two little ones stood up from the puddle at the same time and ran towards him quickly.

Chen Ying's expression changed, "No, don't come over!"

These two naughty kids are all wet. They have thick skin and are not afraid of the cold, but he is not.

However, Leo and the little cub were not obedient children. The more they were not allowed to get close to each other, the more they wanted to get closer to Chen Ying.

Seeing Chen Ying dodging continuously, Leo let out a howl, separated from the cub, and attacked from the front and back.

"You two are even using tactics. No, no, stop it now."

Chen Ying supported one of the bears' heads with one hand, struggling to stop the two from hugging her.

Just when he was about to give up, a "meow" came from above his head, and half of a rabbit's body fell from the sky and hit Leo on the back of the head.

Chen Ying was horrified, "Don't, don't hit me!"

Before she finished her words, Ms. Golden Cat had already jumped down, stood on the broken tree stump next to her, and assumed an attacking posture towards Leo.

The big white cat, which was still eating in the bamboo forest below, turned its ears and heard the golden cat's threat. It bared its teeth, threw away the bamboo, and rushed up the mountain.

Jiaojiao was a little slower than it and also rushed forward.

The golden cat lady was threatening the two cubs when she suddenly arched her back and quickly jumped up the tree.

Chen Ying turned her head and saw Dabai rushing towards her aggressively. Her head suddenly started to hurt.

"Misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding."

Chen Ying hurriedly explained and introduced Ms. Golden Cat to them.

Dabai and Jiaojiao had no interest in animals that were not of the same kind. After making sure that the golden cat would not pose a threat to them, they walked up to Leo with a grunt, bit his ear and dragged him out.

Ms. Golden Cat looked at the four big guys warily, and no one knew what they were thinking.

When the cub saw his parents coming, he immediately became well-behaved. He came to his mother and acted coquettishly, glancing towards Dabai with his little eyes from time to time.

Leo was dejectedly taught a lesson by Dabai. As he followed it into the bamboo forest, the depressed energy around him became materialized.

No matter where this family of four sits, they become four insurmountable mountains of meat.

Ms. Golden Cat dared to threaten the cubs, but she didn't dare to yell at Dabai and Jiaojiao, otherwise, the in-laws would definitely be willing to teach her how to be a cat.

Chen Ying felt a little embarrassed as he spread his hands towards the golden cat lady on the tree.

They came here sincerely to help him, but ended up being almost threatened by Dabai's family. It makes me sad just thinking about it.

Chen Ying picked up the half-eaten rabbit that had fallen on the ground and wanted to hand it to the golden cat, but the latter didn't even look at it, turned around, jumped onto another tree and ran away.

"Well, we've offended both sides, so let's get down to business."

I only had two cameras left. This was a rare source of high-quality water. Although it was ruined by two naughty kids, it was only ten minutes or so, and the turbid water had gradually turned clear.

He checked the spring, found a few stones to protect it a little, and then chose a suitable place to install the infrared camera.

After recording the location and number of the camera, Chen Ying adjusted the angle again. After making sure it would not be easily damaged by animals, he picked up his bag and went down the mountain.

Walking down the mountain on the other side, I checked along the edge of the bamboo forest. The traces on the animal trails showed that there were still many even-toed ungulate animals living here.

Unfortunately, the timing was just right, as it was the time for even-toed ungulates to rest. If it had been a little earlier or later, we would have been able to see the forest elves moving around and foraging for food.

When we returned to the tent, Brother Chi was preparing dinner for Yingbo and teaching him the experience of living in the wild.

Although Yingbo is also a child from the mountains, he is different from his parents. Since he was born, the mountains have been closed for afforestation, and these children basically have no experience of living alone in the wild.

Although forest rangers enter the forests in teams most of the time, they occasionally work separately for different tasks.

It takes some skills to protect yourself in an unfamiliar environment and complete the task successfully.

Chen Ying looked at the two of them with a smile, and was about to speak, but when he glanced at them, his voice almost fluttered.

"Brother Chi, Brother Chi, squat down slowly, don't look back, squat down, and move towards me."

Yingbo subconsciously wanted to pull Brother Chi, but was pulled away by Chen Ying first.

Brother Chi’s whole body was almost stiff. He tried to calm down and slowly squatted down according to Chen Ying’s instructions.

While Chen Ying was speaking, she had already taken the trekking pole in her hand, clenched her palm, and carefully approached Brother Chi.

At this time, Yingbo saw a slowly moving snake on the stone behind Chi Ge's left.

(The plateau pit viper is endemic to the Hengduan Mountains. It is a venomous snake that feeds on climbing lizards and small insects.)
"Roll over!" Chen Ying said as he swung his trekking pole.

Brother Chi rolled on the ground and escaped from danger in a panic.

The poisonous snake lost its prey and was hit by Chen Ying's trekking pole. It immediately raised its head in anger and prepared to attack.
