Changsha Evening News, Changsha, December 2nd (All Media Reporter Rao Li Li Suxuan) On November 14th, nearly 50 national first-level protected wild animals, white-crested long-tailed pheasants, artificially hatched by Changsha Ecological Zoo, were rewilded and trained in the wild. After adapting, they were released in Jianmuxi National Nature Reserve. Recently, good news came from the reserve: these released white-crowned long-tailed pheasants have spread to a 200-meter diameter range centered on the near-ground training ground in the reserve, which means that the short-term survival rate of this release has been achieved. .
In order to keep abreast of the living conditions of these white-crowned long-tailed pheasants, the project team installed backpack trackers on each bird before releasing them. The Jiumu River Reserve also maintains a 1,000-meter diameter range with the near-ground training ground as the core. 20 new infrared cameras have been added. These trackers send back signals in real time, recording the birds' movements and transmitting the data to the project team. Even when the tracker signal is weak, the infrared camera serves as an effective supplement and can record the bird's activities in a timely manner.
"In the first few days, there were still birds returning to the near-earth training ground to look for food. Now the number of birds returning has obviously decreased." The person in charge of the Changsha Ecological Zoo project said that the birds returned from the protected area rangers It can be seen from the pictures and videos that these birds have gradually adapted to the environment and even learned to fly high in the trees to spend the night, because this can effectively avoid natural enemies.
Although the birds return to the training ground less and less often, rangers will still put out food regularly to ensure that the white-crowned long-tailed pheasant can successfully survive the first severe winter in the wild. According to reports, to judge whether the white-crowned long-tailed pheasant is successfully reintroduced into the wild, in addition to the short-term survival rate, the bird's long-term survival status, reproduction status, ecological adaptability, and whether it can establish a reasonable relationship with other organisms in the local ecosystem are also Judgment criteria, Changsha Ecological Zoo will work with the local forestry system to continuously track the project. If this reintroduction can eventually form multiple natural populations of white-crowned long-tailed pheasants in the reserve, it will mean that the reintroduction is successful.
