Have you heard? In Yanqing Baili Landscape Gallery, there is a super rare "Flying Swallow among the Rocks" captured by tourists! This "Feiyan" is not another Feiyan, it is a wild animal under national second-class key protection - Chinese impala. This little guy looks like a cow, has a body like a sheep, is strong enough to fly among the rocks, climbs and jumps like a swallow, and lets it wander on a lonely peak and cliff.
On June 29, in the Gangou area of Liudaohe Village, Qianjiadian Town, the Chinese impala was leisurely drinking water, and was accidentally captured by tourists in this precious picture.
Chinese impala is a mammal of the genus Impala of the order Artiodactylaceae, is the only wild bovid in Beijing at present, likes to be active in the bare rock of the cliff, good at climbing and jumping, has the reputation of "rock climber", often can rely on the rock climbing cliff to seek a ray of life under the hunt of natural enemies, the famous novelist Shen Shixi's creation of "Impala Flight" has a vivid description of this. The Chinese impala used to be widely distributed in mainland China, but due to historical habitat destruction, fragmented hunting and human disturbance, the distribution range and population have declined sharply, and it has been included in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (IUCN) and Vulnerable (VU). Level 2 of China's List of Wild Animals under National Key Protection; Red List of Chinese Species, Endangered (EN).
This gratifying discovery not only enriches the biodiversity record of Yanqing District, but also proves the superior ecological resources of Qianjiadian Town and the effectiveness of ecological environmental protection in recent years. Qianjiadian Town has Datan and Shuitou district-level nature reserves, with 490,000 acres of ecological forests, accounting for a quarter of the ecological forest area in Yanqing District; The forest area reached 25,300 hectares, and the forest coverage rate was as high as 70.17%; In addition, peculiar landforms such as monocline, anticline, and small Kunlun add infinite charm to this land. Together, these abundant natural resources form a treasure trove of natural resources for biodiversity in Qianjiadian Town, providing a home for many wild animals and plants to live and thrive.
In order to enrich the resources of this treasure house and create a good ecological space for various species, Qianjiadian Town has completed the work of leaving white space and increasing greenery, uncovering the net to see greenery, and tending forest trees with high quality, so as to ensure that the forest coverage rate has always been in the forefront of the whole region; scientific conservation and restoration of natural forests and secondary forests to further improve the overall stability of the ecosystem; Accurately set up biodiversity facilities, and build a forest ecosystem with reasonable structure and perfect functions.
Through the mutual blessing of "talent" and "hard work", the habitat space and population scale of wild animals in the Baili Landscape Gallery have been expanding, and the biodiversity has become increasingly rich, and the wild boar, leopard cat, pheasant, badger, snake, hare, hedgehog, squirrel and other wild animals and magpies, sparrows, eagles and other birds have been found and recorded, as well as the largest wild ironwood population in Beijing since the record.
