Variety name and year: Zhao, 1990?
Living environment: Snakes endemic to China. At present, it is only known to be distributed in a narrow range of thousands of hectares in Mangshan Nature Reserve, Yizhang County, Hunan Province. It is found in mountain forests at an altitude of 700 ~1100 m.
Quantity on hand: There are only 300-500 in the world.
Endangered grade: 1994 is listed as the first-class protected animal in China biodiversity protection action plan, and is known as the "panda in the snake".
Risk factors: The risk factors in the most dangerous snakes mainly come from three aspects: ① Environmental pollution? At present, this is the most important factor. Mangshan Nature Reserve covers a total area of 20,000 hectares, and a 42-kilometer-long main road runs through the reserve from northwest to southeast. In the middle of this road, that is, within the distribution range of the most dangerous snakes, there are six smelting furnaces along the road, three of which are iron smelting furnaces and three are silicon smelting furnaces, which are full of fires during the day and even more brilliant at night. A large number of toxic smoke and dust emitted during smelting are dispersed into the forest; Coupled with noise, high-power lighting around the work area, as well as the pollution of domestic waste water, waste gas and other wastes of workers and their families, six comprehensive pollution centers have been formed, and the great harm to the surrounding environment is hard to estimate, not only animals but also plants are not spared.
(2) Environmental damage? There are also several hydropower stations scattered in the core area of the reserve. Although the environmental pollution of these power stations is far less than that of smelting furnaces, the construction of power stations will inevitably destroy the local environment, and what is particularly serious is that hydropower generation must intercept water diversion, which not only changes the distribution of water flow, but also causes the original mountain streams to be often short of water or even dry up; However, the newly-built diversion canal obviously cannot replace the function of natural streams, because it is made of cement, with smooth and straight banks, or a culvert passing through mountains. The flora composition of aquatic organisms is destroyed, affecting the inherent food chain; At the same time, it also affects the irrigation function of plants on both sides of the original mountain stream. In addition, there are hundreds of workers and their families living in the reserve, besides the workers and their families in smelting furnaces and power stations, there is also a farmer in a township. The production and living activities of these thousands of people in the reserve cannot but have a certain impact on the environment.
③ Man-made murder? According to the specimen provided by Comrade Chen Yuanhui, after The Most Dangerous Snake was published in 1990, he knew the precious significance and academic value of this snake, so he always cared about its fate. According to Chen Yuanhui, many locals and foreigners go to Mangshan to steal the most dangerous snake. Snakes caught secretly or slaughtered and burned with chickens are called "Dragon and Phoenix Banquet". Or shipped to Guangdong and Hong Kong for high profits. Some people are even willing to pay a high price of 50 thousand yuan to buy one, further stimulating the lawless people to take risks. Since 1990s, poaching activities have occurred frequently, and several cases have been found and intercepted. ? Besides,? In addition to the above-mentioned highway trunk lines, there are some branch lines in the reserve. It is said that tourism will be developed in the future. If this plan is realized, it is bound to build roads, scenic spots, hotels, restaurants and commercial outlets to attract a large number of tourists, which will undoubtedly bring more serious threats to the animals and plants in the reserve. ? Therefore, if the environment of this prestigious "national" nature reserve and forest park is not rectified in time, not only most endangered snakes will be extinct in a short time, but other animals and plants as the main body of the forest will also suffer irreparable losses in a few years! ? [Domestication and reproduction status]? Mangshan Forestry Bureau once confiscated snakes hunted by the masses for temporary feeding, and laid eggs to hatch young snakes.
