Nws puv cai Richard Branson tau ib lub tswv yim tshiab; txuag lub ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) los ntawm importing tau los nws kheej British nkauj xwb Island. Raws li tsab xov xwm ntsiab lus tawm Branson siv lab tus phaus thiab siv zog tig cov kob rau lub xyoo “tias koj tus phooj ywg ecologically tshaj plaws nyob hauv lub ntiaj teb”. Tiam sis nws zoo nkaus li Mr Branson xam pom forgo kev kawm kev txuag thiab sau dua tshiab ntxiv PR tus phooj ywg ua tib. Nyob tuaj lub lemurs tus cautions ntawm nws tus kheej kev soj ntsuam Conference dua li vim nws xav “…los ua ib kob thib ob tej vaj tse thiab cov puag hauv Moskito muaj zoo meej.” Kab tias Branson muaj ib bizarro ntiaj teb phau ntawv txhais lus lub ntsiab txhais cov lus tag nrho nyob qhov twg “tej yam txawv tag los tseem cia nrog”.
Tau meej, thaum xub thawj lub suab lus lub tswv yim nyiam ib tug mos – tus lemurs yog lawv, vim li cas ho tsis txhob muab lawv lub qhov taub qus thib ob? Qhov tshij, Dr James Lazell ntawm lub koom haum kev txuag tau 31 xyoo muaj nyob rau hauv cov nkauj xwb Islands tuaj thiab muaj taw tes qhia kom paub uas “Lemurs no agile, dexterous, pheev kom tau, omnivorous tsiaj uas ua tau ib tug nyhuv dejnum ntawm cov kob yooj yim ecologies. Lawv noj kiag li txhua yam-lizards, txiv mab txiv ntoo, cov hauv paus hniav, kab, noog’ qe.” Huag, tiam sis tsis txhob poob siab, tsis muaj dab tsi phem yuav tshwm sim thaum koj nste liab los ib kob (tswvcuab liab devastate Florida qhov tseem ceeb). Branson paub tias cov miv lub lemurs ib tug yuav xwb “nqa lub khib gecko” (ib yam li cov tsis tshua muaj teb ntsias-gecko Sphaerodactylus parthenopion), los pav lawv tej zaum yuav tsis kis tau rau lwm Islands tuaj txij thaum lawv tsis “ntxub da dej” (ntiv nplhaib tailed lemur ua luam dej).
Yog vim licas thiaj li ces cov ring-tailed? Tsis vim nws yog tus tshaj endangered (muaj cov ntau ntau kev sib endangered ntau lemurs), tab sis vim nws yog tus tshaj iconic. Ntawd yog dab tsi tiag drives kuv tuaj txog no lub tswv yim ruam phab ntsa. Tsis tsuas yog nws naively plaug ib hom tejzaum nws tus hauv lub vaj tse rhiab kob – tab sis vim nws yog kis lus cuav ntawm kev txuag. Zoo li ib tug me nyuam qeeb Branson muaj rushed rau cov ring-tailed kom nws tseg thaum yuav nco qab kev txuag tas nrho lub tswv yim. Tus ring-tailed yog ib hom kab flagship, ib daig draws kom cov devastation uas yog tshwm sim hauv Madagascar. Ib tug ntxim hlub cuddly tsiaj los sawv cev rau lub staggeringly nws thiab miv yeej uas teb koj qhov chaw. Tab sis tsis yog cai Richard Branson tau txhua yam uas hais txog nws. Vim li cas tiv thaiv Madagascar thab thaum twg koj muaj swoop rau kom tsim tau ib lub tsev rau ib primate sawv daws hlub? Phew, ntsoog averted. Cai Richard fiddles thaum Madagascar burns.
Kuv xav no vaj tsiaj freakish kob yog ib tsab masquerading ua kev txuag thiab ua kom muaj siab tiag qab nws yog coj mus muag. Ob peb xyoo tom ntej no yuav muaj ib tug handful ntawm “khoom kim heev, pa roj carbon-nruab nrab ob lub tsev ua rau cov kob”. Ib txwm zoo nkauj ci ntsa iab rau incentivize tus purchase ntawm ob lub tsev undoubtedly uas yuav raug nqi kaum tawm lab tus nyiaj txhua – thiab koj hom yuav mus xav txog kev tiv thaiv lub ntiaj teb no txawm koj ua zoo. Tom qab tag nrho cov nkauj xwb Islands tuaj tsis muaj lwm cov tsiaj qus charismatic; meej xwm yog ib txoj hauj lwm phem heev uas tsim muaj billionaires wonderland. Li cas los txog ze cov kob?
Tej zaum… tej zaum yog vim… Branson muaj Dr. Mus rau npe Moreau.
Kuv hnov tau tswv yim zoo li cov uas zoo tshwj cia kev uttered los ntawm kev primatologists, nyob rau hauv daim ntawv qhia txog seriousness. Koj xav tias muaj ib (tsis zoo) correlation nkag siab txog cov ib puag ncig thiab tus charisma ntawm ib txoj kab txoj kev tshawv no?
tsis yog li. Muaj ntau ntau zaum zoo heev uas ua hauj lwm rau hom charismatic heev. Lub downside xwb yog koj tau txais cov neeg uas tsis muaj dab tsi txog tej yam lawv messing paub txog (zoo li butterflies!). Kuv xav tias Branson yog misguided ntawm no – nws puas yuav tiv thaiv tsis tau kev pab tswv yim hauv no xyov lom. Nws nyuam qhuav rings tshaj tawm stunt dua siv zog qhia qhov tseeb kev txuag (lawv yeej tseem neutering tag nrho cov lemurs!)
Ntaub ntawv kuv tsis pom tias cheej nyob ntawm conserving ib hom thiab yog hais tias tus vaj tsev neeg ploj mus. Yog tias peb tsis tau restore cov vaj tse rau tus thawj ces yog vim li cas muaj hau ntswj tuaj lwm tej vaj tse yuav tiv thaiv hom kab thawj zaug xwb? Thats dab zoos no rau…
Tiag? Seb puas muaj tej kev txuag nqi yog hais tias lawv yuav muaj tag nrho cov tau neutered? Suab li nws tsuas xav nws ib lemur lwm yam kob. Thiab kuv xav tias yog tsis zoo rau koj sim mus nrhiav kom tau ib tug Tsov nplooj suab tsov pejxeem nyob South Africa John Varty. Li ntawd txoj kev npaj no xwb yuav tsis thiab muab pov tseg ib nyiaj es muaj ua kom paub ib hom uas yuav ua teeb meem drastic Conference… Xyu
Tiag nrog ib tug neeg koomtxoos hauv teb haib kev muaj tiag-distortion. Qhov no nws yog ib tug txiv neej uas ntim so los siav nqi zog thiab cov chaw muab kev pab kom txua ib lub tsev loj rau tus kob ecosystem, uas nws flies nws kheej dav hlau mus ntsib, thaum nws hu tas nrho “ecologically nyiam phooj ywg.” Hais meej, Science thiab logic tsis hais txog cov cai Sir Richard.
Nws tseem tsis tau heev tsab cai idea uas yog tsis zoo, tab sis tus yuav ua li cas rau nws (tab sis tsis muaj leej twg rau nkawd kom twv yuav raug hu txog nws lub hom phiaj sij no zoo li cas, thiab tseeb, morph lawv zaum puav niaj hnub no “rendezvous ua ntej” taw tes). Kuv xav hais tias nws lub tswv yim thaum pib yog tias nws lawv yuav tso 3 hom lemurs: ringtails (uas yog tawv, thiab muaj zog loj, yuav noj zoo nkauj ntau yam, lawv tsis tau ua kom lwm hom kab mob); liab-ruffed lemurs (finicky, thiab tau so-so nyob captivity, thiab nyob rau tej qho chaw lawv ua tau tuag prematurely; thiab sifakas (cov uas nyuaj heev uas tswj nyob rau hauv captivity, lawv nws muag heev thiab tuag tau yooj yim hauv captivity — sifakas mas nws yeej yog ib lub tswv yim phem heev). Nws lub tswv yim ntawd cia li yuav tso lawv rau cov Islands tuaj thiab lawv muaj dawb reign Islands tuaj. Uas yog cov zoo thiab zoo rau luag (los yog tsis, nyob), tab sis ua cas lub teb biota? Muaj ntau ntau hom endangered lizards thiab geckos ntawm cov kob, thiab tus ringtails yuav noj cov, puab tseeb. Muaj tseeb, ntau tus neeg muaj lemurs li cov tsiaj (tam sim no uas yog ib lub tswv yim phem heev heev, rau ntau yam), thiab ib txoj kev uas yog ib qho tsis zoo li ntawd.
Tab sis peb yuav tham txog tias cia ib Rev no tseem “tsiaj nyob hauv tsev” khiav dawb thoob plaws ib lossis ob Islands tuaj. Muaj tseeb, lemurs tsis tau da dej (ib ringtail ua luam dej hauv cov duab qhia nws txoj kev ntxiv mus tsaws) ces lawv yuav tsis tau mus lwm Islands tuaj; nws yeej yuav luag tsis tsimnyog. Tiam sis Branson muaj ib lub luag hauj lwm yuav tsum zoo tsis tshua muaj neeg saib xyuas cov tsiaj, yog lawv tseem tshuav khiav dawb thoob plaws cov kob (nws xav tias txhua tus neeg uas paub txog cov tsiaj yog ib lub tswv yim phem heev.) Lawv yuav tsum muaj ib tug neeg coob ntawm vets rau ntawm qhov chaw 24/7 los saib xyuas cov tsiaj thiab ua zoo kom muaj kev zoo lawv, tsis mob, tsis txaus noj, yam. Tej zaum twb muaj ib pab neeg tshawb fawb ntawm cov neeg uas ua haujlwm rau PhDs rau primatology yuav ua raws li cov pawg lemurs thiab qhia rau lawv. Yog tsis tseg, Branson lub hom phiaj yuav doom muaj ntau lub lemurs rau cov neeg tuag uas yuav muaj tau tiv thaiv. Yog tsis muaj ntaub ntawv qhia seb muaj cov tshiab pathogens uas lawv yuav xyaw nrog uas yuav tsim teeb meem rau lawv — los yog cov possibiity lawv coj tau lwm pathogens rau lub Islands tuaj. Yog Branson yuav tuag-tso cawv rau qhov lub hom phiaj, qhov zoo tshaj plaws uas yuav tsim loj rau tus tsiaj Certificate., thiab muaj txaus (thiab pab kim vet), thiab kom txhua tus colony los yog zoo monitored colonies.
Txhua tus neeg xwb kuv twb nes mas hais Ius rau (nyob hauv lub network connected kom cov neeg ua hauj lwm lemur & conservationists) twb hais tias, immigration, “vim li cas rau lub ntiaj teb tsis nws siv nws billions pab tawm tsis laus Madagascar kom tus lemurs yuav nyob muaj?” Uas yog ib nqe lus nug zoo heev. Kab tias nws yuav ua tau ib txhia ob — muab rau ib co lemurs rau no kob thiab pab cov Guard hauv Madagascar twg tus lemurs yog nyob hauv cov hluav taws. Muaj ntau txoj kev uas nws yuav ua kom ntau, thiab Madagascar mas nws yeej yuav tsum tau kev pab.
Kuv tsis tau hnov hais tias lawv yog neutering tus lemurs nug txog … uas tsis ua tej kev txiav txim zoo rau kuv, li no mas, ib feem ntawm qhov tswv cheej nyob ntawm no yuav tsum muaj chaw ua taus zes ib, sustainable colony. Rau lwm cov tes, tej zaum nws tsuas xav neuter tus thawj batch, thiab yuav ua li cas thiaj li “rau qhov xyaum ua tej yam” tej hauj lwm kom paub nrog cov laus hardier (tsis muaj cov me nyuam mos.)
Nyob zoo npauj,
Ua koj tsis pom zoo nrog lwm tus thiab tsis hu nws tus ruam? Tsis doubt cai Richard tau nws coj mus muag vim li cas rau philantrophical, tiam sis koj yeej tsis tau luag rau koj tus kheej mus rau hauv cov av nkos rau doubting nws sincerity? Vim li cas thiaj tsis tseg tau cov lemurs xwb? Thiab ces tsis xav siv koj cov nyiaj hnab tsho rau advertising ntiaj teb no nyob rau hauv ib txoj kev hypocritical?
Ua tsaug rau koj nyeem qhov no vim yog koj lub sij hawm no, precious.
Harry.
tau mas, Kuv yeej respectfully tsis pom zoo nrog koj. Tej zaum koj yuav yog, Kuv yuav yog lawm doubting nws sincerity. Thiab yog dab tsi uas yuav ua rau nws tsawg dua ntawm ib ruam kom paub txog qhov yuav saws tus PR hauv nws vaj tsiaj kob uas neutered lemurs. Tab sis, yog hais tias nws yog sincere, Kuv hais tias nws sticks rau qhov kev lag luam uas nws zoo to taub.
Thiab uas yuav coj mus muag qhov chaw mus txawv tebchaws los ntawm ib lub county pluag hauv New Mexico.
