The yellow-breasted bunting, also known as the yellow gall, grass finches, yellow belly sacs, yellow watercress, wheat yellow finches, old iron-backed, golden bunting, white-shouldered bunting, etc., is a small songbird, a typical river valley meadow shrub grass bird, like to live in groups, beautiful appearance, pleasant call.
In China, the north and south used to have a fondness for the yellow-breasted bunting, and the north used it as a pet and entered the trade market; the south treated it as a delicacy, especially the Cantonese folk mistakenly advertised that eating soup made of yellow-breasted bunting as the main raw material was good for people and men, which led to the hunt of the yellow-breasted bunting, which led to a sharp decline in their population. In order to protect the yellow-breasted bunting, China upgraded it to a national-level protected wild animal this year, prohibiting hunting, transshipment, trading, eating, etc., and violators will be punished by law.
Recently, in the process of scientific research and monitoring of ecological protection in the Taihang Mountains, experts accidentally found a beautiful bird with a yellow belly and confirmed after careful identification that it was a national first-class protected wild animal - the yellow-breasted bunting.
Experts said that this is the first time that traces of yellow-breasted bunting have been found in Jiyuan, Henan Province, and precious video data have been taken. The discovery of the yellow-breasted bunting in Jiyuan is not only a powerful interpretation of the gradual improvement of the local ecological environment, but also lays a foundation for the analysis of wild plant data and biodiversity research in the future.
In recent years, with the protection of the national ecological environment and wild animals and plants, coupled with the improvement of people's awareness of environmental protection, the population and number of various wild animals are gradually recovering, and even frequently appear in people's vision.
Protecting the ecological environment and protecting wild animals and plants is everyone's responsibility. What do you think about that? Welcome to leave a comment below...
