According to the Voice of China “News and Landscapes” report, Golmud City, located in the Qaidam Basin, is the main producing area of ​​wild black sea bream in Qinghai. Because of its anti-oxidant and other effects, black buckwheat has gradually become popular in recent years, but its high price It also caused many people to perform destructive and crazy picking.

Crazy picking leaves some of the plants on the picking ground away from fruiting, so the herdsmen suffer losses, and some traffickers also suffer a major loss. Even so, the picking of black storks continues. Because there are no relevant provisions for the protection of wild plant fruits in the current laws, the protection of black cockroaches is also paralyzed.

The contest between pickers and protectors has continued. Where is the road to conservation of high economic value wild plants going?

About ten kilometers west from the city of Golmud, the water plants gradually flourish. The cattle and sheep could not be seen on the grasslands, and when they looked ahead, they were all wearing straw hats and bending to pick up something.

Reporter: Do you pick this directly? Doesn't it take so many thorns?

Picker: Ah. How do you do it?

Reporter: When did you start picking?

Picker: The first pick today. The hand is very painful.

After approaching, the reporter found out that they were picking black wild berries on a plant full of spines, and the wild fruit of this size and the size of the peppercorn was a black pod. Not far from this grassland, the same people are surging. A large number of workers are working overtime to pick and plant the pods. Their remuneration is one yuan per catty, and skilled workers pick up seven or eight pounds per day without problems. simple. Even so, every year there are many crickets that cannot be harvested in time due to lack of manpower and are crippled at the branch.

In recent years, the Golmud firefighting force has deployed more than 1,000 people to help picking farmers to pick, but it still pays a lot. The picking labor force for planting crickets is so tight. Why do many people go to the grassland to find the wild black pods that are the size of peppercorns? A number of cars and motorcycles were parked along a road not far from downtown Golmud, and the black pickers were bargaining with the buyers.

Reporter: Did you just pick it today?

Picker: Just picked.

Reporter: What do you sell?

Pickers: This pound they give 50, I do not want to sell.

Reporter: Do you want to sell it? How much do you sell?

Pickers: 60 pieces.

The market price of wild black storks this year is about 60 to 70 yuan a pound. If a person can pick up 8 pounds a day, the income of a day is about 500 yuan. 2012 was the craziest year for black cockroaches. The purchase price of one kilogram of fresh fruit reached hundreds of yuan, and skilled pickers could earn 1,000 yuan a day. Huge interest has caused some pickers to resort to destructive picking. At a fork in the road, the reporter encountered a patrolling officer of the Golmud Forest Public Security Bureau who had just returned. They had two family-owned tailors in their hands. It was because picking was very difficult. Many people used tools such as scissors.

Reporter: Is this what you just confiscated?

Forestry public security personnel: In the past, some saw hidden scissors, and some were thrown away. Branches were cut everywhere. The damage was particularly severe. There were many such scissors, and there were more.

The forestry public security personnel: When the harvest was fresh last year, it received more than one hundred, one hundred two, three, and on this fresh one, he was afraid to fix it, cut it down, and then sat there alone.

A large number of wild pickings not only caused great damage to the plants of the wild cricket, but also affected the pastoralists' pastures. The conflict between pickers and grazing folks gradually escalated. Some herdsmen once prevented the pickers from entering the pastures and the tents were picked by the pickers. The flock of herdsmen Darjee’s family had died more than 50 in the past year because they had eaten the plastic bags left by pickers.

Darjee: He made too much of his white trash. Sheep are not like people. They don't eat anything. They don't know, and they die too much. The plastic bag was stuck in the esophagus and the mouth of the stomach was blocked. Then it died. There is also stepping on those grasses. All of them are flat and the sheep can't eat. Our income has been reduced. The sheep grazes and all the grass is finished. What to eat.

The frantic picking of black crickets and the increasingly prominent social contradictions have enabled Golmud’s forestry, farming, and animal husbandry and other related units to continuously strengthen the monitoring and crackdown on wild black plover picking, but the vast territory of Golmud has brought great difficulties for supervision. Deputy Director of Grassland Station Su Yile and deputy mayor of Guolemude Town, Nathan, played the “cat and mouse game” with the pickers during the whole picking season.

Su Yile: The longest is this side, Golmud to our side more than 260 kilometers. It is 70 to 80 kilometers to the east.

Now our management staff and the people who pick the blackbirds are actually sideways. We are walking and they are back. This is a kind of cat-and-mouse game.

Nathan: Right. Yes, there are too many roads, wherever you go, and the people who ride motorcycles are all flat and wherever you go.

Su Yile: I can't stop it. Take the scissors sharply.

Nathan: I couldn't make it. I rushed and came over. He came in again and couldn't get it. Several large intersections were blocked, and they came in all around.

In addition to the regulatory difficulties brought about by the vast territory, the blankness of the national legislation has also made it impossible for black-shoulder protectors to display their abilities.

Forestry public security: The state has no specific regulations on the fruit of wild vegetation in the above laws and regulations. Picking is not allowed, and it is not possible to prohibit it. Therefore, it is said that he is allowed to do so, and most of the picking personnel are farmers and herdsmen. They will also be able to use this month to generate income. The country is mainly concerned with the protection of wild plants. It is mainly for the destruction of whole plants.

The wild picking of wild black cockroaches has caused local forestry, farming and animal husbandry and other departments to feel unprecedented pressure. Golmud’s related departments are brewing local regulations for the protection of wild black cockroaches, thereby strengthening the operability of protection work.

Zhao Wencai, Director of the Forestry Bureau of Golmud City: We took a management approach -- "Wild Black Cocoon Management Measures," and passed legislation of the People's Congress to legalize this block. Before picking the picking permit, some agreements must be reached with the herdsmen before the picking certificate. The most important part is a compensation agreement. If the herdsmen agree, ordered picking is allowed. The Qaidam Basin is a relatively dry place. Once these natural vegetation are destroyed, it is difficult to recover. As our forestry department, it is a pipe that allows the ecology to be protected and the peasants and herdsmen get income. Our goal is this, after all, it is wild, wild black locust for decades or centuries, if you are subject to human Destruction is certainly not worth the candle.

Where is the road to conservation of high economic value wild plants going? Whether local legislation can fundamentally solve this problem, the protection of Golmud’s black kite may be just a beginning and an attempt. Only the national legislation can be timely adjusted and continuously improved, and the public’s blind concept of consumption can gradually become more rational in order to prevent it more effectively. And stop all kinds of behaviors that destroy wild animal and plant resources.
