Slogan to protect elk

Elk is a rare animal unique to China. Elk used to be a wild animal. Although extinct, the natural population was finally re-established in China through stocking. To this end, China has re-listed elk as a first-class protected animal. Elk belongs to the family Cervidae, also known as David Deer. Because its head is like a horse, its horns are like deer, its neck is like a camel, and its tail is like a donkey, it is also called four unlike. It is native to the marshland in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China. It feeds on grass and aquatic plants, and sometimes it eats seaweed in the sea. Elk is an endangered species in China, a first-class protected animal and a rare animal in the world. Disappeared in China for a hundred years.

August 20 18, Elk announced? Competition? The mascot of the Winter Olympics? Elk protection? Natural applications will also be carried out. As? A successful example of species reintroduction in the world? The historical fate and conservation story of elk are being understood by more people. The strong adaptability of elk laid the foundation for its reintroduction. Elk is a typical wetland deer. They prefer plain lakes and swamps with abundant aquatic plants and humid climate, and can adapt to the climatic conditions in eastern China, from Liaoning to Hainan. In contrast, wild horses and rhinoceroses are native to western and northern China and inhabit desert grasslands. In these areas, water and food are relatively scarce, the ecological environment is very fragile, and poaching activities are difficult to eradicate. These factors have brought challenges to the protection of endangered species. ?

Although thousands of milu deer in the world are bred by 18 milu deer living abroad, what about them? Inbreeding? 、? Decreased genetic diversity? Other issues are not important. In Beijing Elk Garden, Jiangsu Dafeng, Hubei Shishou and other protected areas, elk can reproduce naturally without human intervention. The researchers also actively promoted population exchange in various protected areas and enriched the genetic diversity of elk. The physiological characteristics of elk create inherent possibilities for their reintroduction. On the other hand, the joint protection of Chinese and foreign people has also promoted the successful implementation of the release of elk.
