On January 12, 2023, Xinhua Winshare's 2022 "Winshare Good Book" list was announced, and "The Spirit of the Plateau: Rare Wild Animals in the Eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" was strongly recommended. A "paper documentary" polished from precious first-hand information, photographer Lu Linglong's nearly 40 years of plateau exploration, tells the story of China's ecology through the lens.
On the western border of China, there is a mysterious land known as the "third pole of the earth", that is, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In 2022, Xinhua Winshare announced its annual list of "Winshare Good Books", and one of the eye-catching masterpieces is "The Spirit of the Plateau: Rare Wild Animals in the Eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau".
Spirit of the Plateau: An ecological picture of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
Most of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is more than 4,000 meters above sea level and is known as the "third pole of the earth" and is a miracle in nature. During the inspection, China once emphasized: "We will unswervingly follow the path of ecological priority and green development, and strive to build a modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature." "The Spirit of the Plateau, created by Sichuan Science and Technology Publishing House, has become a good book for Winshare, which not only has important ideological, cultural, artistic and scientific value in terms of content, but also is a vivid practice of ecological protection and development.
The author of this book is the famous plateau exploration photographer Lu Linglong, who is a special photographer for China National Geographic and the winner of the "Benny Award" gold medal with the prestige of "Oscar". Lu Linglong has spent 40 years going deep into the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, interpreting the fantastic beauty of this land with the language of photography. "Spirit of the Plateau" shows the rare wild animals in the eastern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and their habitats through more than 500 visually impactful **, showing the agile moments and wild beauty of animals.
Ecological Picture: The story of China's ecology told in the language of photography.
Lu Linglong uses photography as a medium to tell the story of China's ecology through the lens. He and his filming team went deep into the plateau to record national first-class protected animals such as snow leopards and black-necked cranes, as well as national second-class protected animals such as Tibetan antelope and forest musk deer. These rare animals show the tenacity of life and the wild beauty in the natural environment of the plateau. "Spirit of the Plateau" is a perfect integration of art and popular science, intuitively showing the public the beautiful wildlife and habitat of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and showing the rich biodiversity of the plateau.
The filming location is mainly located in Shiqu County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, which is one of the richest areas of wildlife in the eastern part of the Tibetan Plateau. The cycle of the four seasons, the mountains, meadows, and lakes of the stone canal make the animals and natural elements present a magnificent picture in the lens, providing detailed reference materials for ecological research.
Precious moments: adventure stories with snow leopards.
The origin of Spirit of the Plateau dates back more than 20 years, when Lu Linglong spotted a snow leopard during an expedition in Shiqu. Snow leopards are apex predators at high altitudes, demanding habitat integrity and authenticity, and are an "indicator" of ecosystem health. However, due to the secrecy of the snow leopard, many researchers find it difficult to see a live snow leopard in the wild throughout their lives. Lu Linglong spent several years going deep into the mountains to accompany the snow leopard, and captured the precious wild ecological image data with her lens.
In order to observe the real life scenes and Xi of snow leopards, Lu Linglong is stationed on the mountain for nearly 200 days every year. In the extremely cold plateau and low temperature environment, he squatted silently, wordlessly waiting for the appearance of the snow leopard. In the process, the relationship between him and the snow leopard gradually evolved from wariness and tension to "mutual appreciation". Lu Linglong's dedication allowed him to finally capture the moment of a snow leopard in August 2018. He was moved by this discovery: "This is the first time that humans have photographed a snow leopard in a flower bush with a camera, not an infrared camera. I watched it quietly, and it looked at me quietly. ”
The Messenger of Ecological Protection: Lu Linglong's Warm Narrative.
The Spirit of the Plateau is not only a book, but also a warm narrative of Lu Linglong's awe for life and nature. Lu Linglong asked the locals to protect the home of the snow leopard, calling for the protection of the ecological environment through the camera. He believes that protecting wildlife is protecting human beings themselves, and his photography work is another way to go in the same direction, telling the importance of protecting the ecology with **.
In order to take pictures of the snow leopard's original ecology, Lu Linglong is stationed in the mountains for nearly 200 days a year, experiencing cold and hardship. The life of the snow leopard captured by his camera shows the snow leopard's posture and their harmonious coexistence with the environment. The tacit understanding between Lu Linglong and the snow leopard shows the best way for humans to get along with wild animals - not disturbing is the best protection.
