What is the living environment of South China Tiger?

The living conditions of South China tigers are determined by many factors, the most important of which is the quality of ecological environment. Last June, 5438+065438+ 10, an expert investigation team composed of five scientists at home and abroad began a one-month field trip. Experts tried to find a suitable place for the South China tiger in seven areas, namely Xuebaoshan and Dabashan in Chongqing, Zhushuqiao Reservoir in Hunan, Lean, Yihuang and Zixi in Jiangxi and Meihua Mountain in Fujian. Judging from the assessment conclusions provided by the expert group, although these areas were originally suitable for the survival of South China tigers, the number of local prey was not enough to maintain the survival of tigers. All localities lack experience in habitat restoration and prey (all kinds of animals in the mountains) reconstruction, and there are residents in the seven districts, so it is difficult to implement resettlement and compensation. The assessment shows that even the most ideal area can only accommodate a limited number of tigers. Professor Su Hualong from the Wildlife Research and Development Center of the State Forestry Administration participated in the investigation in Zhushuqiao Reservoir Area in Hunan Province. He said that in Zhushuqiao reservoir area, there are only about 30% natural secondary forests, others are artificial forests, and there are few animals in the forest. If you can keep a large number of cattle and sheep in captivity, you can also ensure the food of tigers. However, Dr. Xie Yan thinks that this move is "no different from the zoo". Ms. Li Quan, who initiated the wild plan of artificial breeding of South China tigers, hopes that by 2007, 5 ~ 10 South African tigers will be wild in South Africa to form a tiger population. However, Xie Yan believes that it is impossible for a few wild tigers to grow into hundreds, and the viability of future generations will be very low. It is understood that at present, more than 50 South China tigers raised in zoos in China are all bred by 6 captured wild tigers, and inbreeding greatly reduces the reproduction rate and survival rate of South China tigers.
