Recently, the list of terrestrial wild animals under key protection in Hubei Province has been updated, involving the entry and exit of wild animals. According to the new edition of the List, a total of 136 species of terrestrial wild animals are included, an increase of 14 species from the previous edition in 1994. Among them, 41 species of wild animals were transferred out and 55 species were transferred in. The main reason for the transfer is that some species have been upgraded to national key protected wild animals, or the centralized management department has changed, or the distribution is wide and the number is large. The reason for the transfer is that some species are highly endangered, or that their numbers in Hubei Province have declined rapidly in recent years.
In terms of wild birds, 30 species have been transferred and 22 species have been transferred in the new edition of the List. Among them, 16 species of birds have been transferred because they have become national key protected wild animals, and the remaining 14 species are common birds, such as ring-necked pheasant, mallard, pearl-necked turtle dove, black water pheasant, egret, etc. In addition to the large-billed crow, the other 13 species of these common birds still belong to the national "three haves" protected animals. After the large-billed crow is removed from the "provincial key protection", it means that it has lost 3 exclusive "armor".
The large-billed crow is one of the largest species in the crow family, with an adult large-billed crow about 50 centimeters long, a pitch-black body, and a thick, curved beak. Although it is more abundant in Hubei Province, it is not common in Wuhan City. In addition, two of the birds transferred to the new version of the "List" are new birds discovered in Wuhan in recent years, they are the fork-tailed sunbird and the star wren.
Can wild animals that have lost their exclusive "armor" be killed at will? The relevant person in charge of the provincial forestry bureau said that if wild animals are not included in the national and provincial key protection and the national "three haves" protection list, they are not protected by the relevant wildlife protection laws. But that doesn't mean you can hunt and kill at will. If hunting is carried out in a game ban area or during a hunting ban period, especially if the use of prohibited tools or methods destroys wildlife resources, the circumstances are serious, and the circumstances are serious, they will still be punished by law.
The update of the directory has undoubtedly attracted the attention and discussion of the majority of netizens. As a common wild bird, the large-billed crow has lost its status as a "provincial key protection", which has aroused heated discussions among netizens. Many netizens raised various questions about this decision, such as why the large-billed crow lost its protective status, whether it was related to its large population, and whether such a decision was reasonable.
It is important to note that this update is not an isolated case, as similar incidents have occurred in the past. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of the understanding of wildlife protection and the deepening of scientific research, the adjustment of the protection list has become a norm. With the continuous updating of scientific knowledge and the dynamic change of the number of species, the adjustment of the conservation list is necessary. It also reminds us to keep an eye on the progress of wildlife conservation work, and the updating of the conservation list is only one aspect of this.
The impact of the whole incident is not only reflected in the adjustment of the list, but more importantly, it has aroused public attention to wildlife protection. As an important part of natural resources, wildlife is of great significance for maintaining ecological balance and biodiversity. Through this incident, people have become more aware of the importance of wildlife conservation, and hope that more people can participate in wildlife conservation and jointly protect our common home.
At present, there is no official information on whether there is an update on the incident. However, it is certain that this update will have a positive impact on wildlife conservation in Hubei Province. Only by constantly updating and adjusting the protection list can we better protect the living environment of wild animals, maintain biodiversity, and achieve the goal of harmonious coexistence with humans.
In general, the update of the directory has attracted the attention and thinking of the majority of netizens. In the case of the large-billed crow losing its conservation status, the adjustment of the conservation list needs to be based on science, not just the number of considerations. We should pay attention to the progress of wildlife conservation and call for the protection of our common home. In response to this incident, we should also raise some questions, such as how to balance the relationship between protection and utilization, and how to better protect the living environment of wild animals. Only through continuous thinking and action can we make a greater contribution to the conservation of wildlife.
