Who knows the story of the way of nature

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Kaibab Forest in northern Arizona was still lush and vibrant. There are about 4,000 deer in the forest, and the vicious and cruel wolf is the great enemy of the deer. Theodore Roosevelt, the United States, wanted to protect the deer in the Kaibab Forest and breed more.

He declared the Kaibab Forest a national hunting reserve and decided to hire hunters to go there and exterminate the wolves. Gunfire in the forest**. Under the cold muzzle of the hunter's gun, the wolf let out a series of screams and whined for his life.

After 25 years of hunting, more than 6,000 wolves have been killed. Other wild animals in the forest that feed on deer, such as leopards, are also hunted a lot. Specially protected deer have become the "darlings" of the Kaibab forest.

In this "kingdom of freedom", they grow and breed freely, eat trees freely, and live a happy life without danger and with plenty of food. Soon, the number of deer in the forest increased, and the total number exceeded 100,000. More than 100,000 deer gnawed in the eastern part of the forest, and when the bushes were eaten up, they gnawed on the small trees, and when the small trees were eaten up, they gnawed on the bark of the big trees......Everything that can be eaten by deer is doomed.

The green vegetation in the forest is decreasing day by day, and the yellowing of the earth is expanding day by day. Disaster has finally befallen the deer. First starvation caused a large number of deer to die, and then there was an epidemic of disease, and countless deer disappeared.

Two years later, the total number of deer had dropped from 100,000 to 40,000. By 1942, there were only 8,000 sick deer left in the entire Kaibab forest. Roosevelt could never have imagined that the wolf he ordered to kill was actually the protector of the forest!

Although wolves eat deer, it maintains a stable population of deer. This is because after the wolf eats some of the deer, the total number of deer in the forest can be controlled to a reasonable level, and the forest will not be spoiled beyond recognition by the deer herd. At the same time, most of the deer eaten by wolves are sick deer, which effectively controls the threat of disease to the deer herd.

And the deer that Roosevelt was determined to protect, once the number exceeds the limit that the forest can bear, will destroy the stability of the forest ecosystem and bring great ecological disaster to the forest. That is, too many deer can be the main culprits for the destruction of the forest. This seems to contradict what people know about wolves and deer.

In any ethnic group, in all fairy tales with animal themes, wolves almost always bear the notoriety of bullying the weak, such as the story of the "big bad wolf" in China and the story of "Little Red Riding Hood" in the West. Deer, on the other hand, are almost always the embodiment of beauty and kindness. The wolf is **, so it must be destroyed; Deer are kind, so be protected.

Roosevelt's policy of protecting the deer herd was based on this customary view and the principles of fairy tales. This series of stories that took place in the Kaibab Forest illustrates that different organisms living on the same planet are mutually conditioned and interconnected. Judging the good and evil of animals based only on the one-sided understanding of human beings can sometimes make serious mistakes.

Both deer and wolves are needed in the forest. One must respect this interrelationship between animals and the biological world as a whole.

Seven travelers and a biologist guide arrive in a group to the island of Galapagos in the South Pacific. There are many nests on that island that hatch their calves, and they wanted to see how the hatchlings leave their nests and enter the sea.

The Pacific green turtle weighs about 150 kilograms, and the hatchlings are less than one percent of it. Hatchlings usually leave their nests in April and May and scramble to climb out into the sea. However, it takes a short stretch of beach to get from the turtle's nest to the sea, and if you are not careful, it may become food for eagles and other carnivorous birds.

When they arrived on the island that day, it was nearly dusk, and the travelers soon found a large turtle's nest, and suddenly, a young turtle was the first to poke its head out of the nest, but it was about to stop, and a mocking eagle suddenly came up, pecking at the turtle's head with its sharp beak in an attempt to pull it onto the beach. Looking at the scene in front of them, the travelers issued a call of "no death or no salvation". The guide reluctantly picked up the little turtle and led it out to sea, and the mocking eagle saw the delicacies in his hand and took it away, so he could only fly away in despair.

However, soon after the guide took the hatchlings, a group of hatchlings came out of the nest——— the hatchlings that came out first, the turtles who were the "scouts" of the turtle group and are now the guides, were led out to sea, and the hatchlings in the nest got the wrong information that they thought it was safe outside, so they scrambled to go together. The beach is unsheltered and soon attracts many carnivorous birds. Dozens of hatchlings have become the mouths of mocking eagles, seagulls, and boobies.

Watching dozens of carnivorous birds feast and cries of joy, the travelers all bow their heads. The guide lamented: "If it weren't for us humans, these turtles wouldn't be harmed." ”

Man is the spirit of all things. However, when people are clever in their own right, everything can go the other way.

What do you mean by nature's way? My understanding is that any object, person, etc., is natural. They are all alive.

People can heal their own wounds and accomplish some things on their own. Nature is the same, nature cleans itself, nature works. I don't know the story.

Every item has its story. Stone becomes sand and then stone. This is probably what I think of as the story of Nature's Way

At the beginning of the 20th century, there were about 4,000 wild deer in the Kaibab Forest in the Rocky Mountains of the western United States, and they were accompanied by packs of wolves, threatening the survival of the deer. For the sake of the tranquility of these deer, in 1906, the United States decided to carry out a wolf eradication operation, and by 1930 more than 6,000 wolves had been shot. The wolf is nowhere to be seen in the Kaiba Burlin district.

So the deer began to give birth there without any worries and "unplanned", and soon the number of deer grew to more than 100,000. Thriving deer eat all edible plants, eat up weeds, destroy forests, and reduce the number of other animals that feed on plants, leaving the herd suffering from hunger and disease. By 1942, the number of deer in the Kaibab Forest had dropped to 8,000, and the majority of them were sick and weak, and the once-thriving deer family was in sharp decline.

This backfires because the wolf has been exterminated. On the one hand, wolves prey on some deer, so that the total number of deer is controlled, so that they do not reproduce to the extent that they degrade vegetation; On the other hand, most of the deer preyed on by wolves are old, weak, sick and disabled, which helps the survival of the fittest and the succession of deer herds. On the other hand, the deer is often in a state of escape under the chase of wolves, which promotes the robust development of the deer. Since the wolf disappeared, the deer had no natural predators, the "lazy man" was weak, and the deer herd degenerated.

In order to save the evil consequences of wolf extermination, the United States formulated a plan to "lure wolves into the house" in the 70s of the last century. However, this plan was opposed by some people and was not implemented in time. With the increase in people's awareness of the environment, the "Bringing Wolves into the House" program was finally implemented in 1995.

The first wild wolves were released from Canada into the Rocky Mountains, and the forest was full of life.

1.In the United States, humans killed wolves to protect wild deer, and as a result, deer multiplied and then died in large numbers.

2.Once, a forest fire was caused by dead wood in the forest, and people cleared all the dead wood to prevent hidden dangers, and as a result, another insect pest broke out on a large scale.
