最近,一张“峨眉山游客要求当地政府交出猴子”的投诉记录照片在网络上传开了,脑补了投诉人的语气后,让人又气又笑。



网传投诉截图:交出猴子!

景区回应说,峨眉山猴子都是野生猴群,属于峨眉藏酉猴,系国家二级保护动物。猴子有自己的生活习性,景区管理人员从来不会强制让猴子出现在某个地点,它们都是来去自如的。

或许很多游客还不了解,这是我国自然保护区保护野生动物的一个共识——在自然保护区中生活着各种各样的一级、二级保护野生动物,它们和动物园中的动物完全不同,是处于真正的野生状态。

Many tourists may not be aware that there is a consensus in our country's nature reserves to protect wild animals. In these nature reserves, there are various levels of protected wild animals living in a truly wild state that are completely different from zoo animals.

虽然在很多国家级自然保护区中都会设立供游客参观、了解动植物的公园,但是公园的管理都会有严格的底线,就是尽量不要影响野生动植物的生活状态。

Although many national nature reserves in many countries have parks for visitors to visit and learn about the wildlife, these parks have a strict common goal, which is to minimize the impact on the living conditions of wild animals and plants.

咱们“绿色中国”系列报道,已经带大家走访过安徽扬子鳄国家级自然保护区、四川卧龙国家级自然保护区、九寨沟国家级自然保护区等,分别探寻过那里的扬子鳄、大熊猫、川金丝猴的踪迹。

这一期,记者来到了位于云南省的白马雪山国家级自然保护区,这里生活着几千只滇金丝猴——中国特有的珍稀濒危灵长类动物,国家一级重点保护野生动物,被世界自然保护联盟列为濒危动物。

在中国日报8月31日见报的7版上,“绿色中国”系列之“金丝猴”专题,大家可以非常全面地了解到这种可爱又珍贵的动物。

金丝猴又称仰鼻猴(snub-nosed monkey),因为,它们的鼻孔都是朝前的,但金丝猴的毛发并不都是金色,比如本期的主角滇金丝猴,成年雄性的猴子背部毛发是黑色的。

The Yunnan snub-nosed monkey is a type of golden monkey. Its nose does not protrude and the nostrils face forward. The fur on its back is black.

世界上有五种金丝猴,其中,川金丝猴、滇金丝猴、黔金丝猴都是中国特有的,怒江金丝猴(缅甸金丝猴)也在中国境内有活动,另外一种叫作越南金丝猴。

滇金丝猴和川金丝猴一样,都被世界自然保护联盟IUCN列为濒危物种,其他三种金丝猴都已经被列为极危物种。

滇金丝猴主要生活在云南省海拔2500米-4700米的山上,松萝是它们最常吃的食物之一,成年雄猴大概重15kg左右,成年雌猴重10kg左右。

今年是云南省白马雪山自然保护区成立40周年,在保护区和当地原住民的共同努力下,滇金丝猴的数量已经增长到了大约3800多只。

In the 40 years since the Baima Snow Mountain Nature Reserve was established in Yunnan province, the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey has been saved from extinction, and its population has risen to more than 3,800.

为了提高公众对这些猴子的认知,2008年在白马自然保护区内的响古箐村周边建立了一个国家级公园,并对游客开放。

In 2008, to raise public awareness about the monkeys, a national-level park was built around Xiangguqing village, which lies inside the Baima reserve, and opened to visitors.

白马雪山国家级自然保护区野生动植物保护站站长赖建东说:“今年已经有超过10只婴儿猴子出生在园内的四个猴群中,平时会有超过80只猴子在游客面前觅食和嬉戏。”

也就是说,如果你去位于云南维西傈僳族自治县塔城镇的公园,你可能会看到一群群的金丝猴在你眼前觅食、梳毛,跳来跳去。滇金丝猴的性格可比峨眉山的猴子温顺多了,你的帽子大概率是安全的。

If you go to the park in Tacheng town, Weixi Lisu autonomous county in Yunnan, you may see families of snub-nosed monkeys eating, grooming each other and jumping around in front of you. The temperament of Yunnan monkeys is much milder than those in Emei Mountain, so it is more likely that your hat will be safe.
