Gun environmentalists

7 years ago, I went to visit a nature reserve deep in the Qinling Mountains. Areas where there is a small village of 100 people. Intermittent surveys, chat in the village physician, the doctor asked: "Can Give us some advice, how to deal with these scourges Aries?" Aries was takin, the national-level protected animals. Did not expect such a rare and beautiful herbivores been labeled as a pest. Originally, this village has undergone several injuries from the accident takin. Also had a takin people rushed into the kitchen, with sharp corners to tear most of a grandmother's chest. After a few years, no return I have been doing research in this village. She Statistics found that 50% to nearly 80% of the farmers crops have been damaged by the local wild boar. Protect wildlife and natural resources is contributing to society as a whole, but few attention has been paid, and wildlife and nature's most intimate contact with those people how to live.

In fact, remote areas not solve the livelihood of the poor, can not really protect wildlife and natural resources. Last year, researchers reported that in southern Africa, Zimbabwean rural autonomy will join local resource management projects in public areas through sport hunting, in the year 2000 was more than 1.5 million U.S. dollars a year income. Revenue fell to the local poor communities of these people's pockets, for the local community played an important wildlife conservation guidance and support. The researchers said that effective economic incentive mechanism to avoid some harmful species native to the protection of other land use, and sport hunting is such an incentive-driven conservation strategies. IBM ThinkPad T61 battery of this strategy to achieve the protection, utilization and constraints to rely on non-trade failed.

I have one in Qinghai Plateau study. Herdsmen here is not as offensive as other pastoral nomads pasture and livestock compete for wildlife. My guide is also proud to say: "In the past I often bring his house hunter horse." This zone is also a well-known international hunting ground, after Europe and the United States when hunters hunting here a lot. My guide was also a favorite of international hunters hunting guide. Rely on long patrolled the mountains each block him well aware of each road, track and observe the wildlife experience, or a good friend of the local herdsmen.

In this zone, I clearly see that the theory of conservation biology community residents referred to the protection of wild animals for maximum support. For the cost of this support is from the hundreds of thousands of wild animals each year in the hunt for 12 groups of elderly individuals. As a conservation biologist, I can not help but admire, and it was an environment of "a good deal," Oh.

Conservation Biology persons, and even environmentalists, the most important is to have global view. In this way, he can see the short-term economic benefits covered under the environmental pollution and IBM ThinkPad R50 battery. At the same time, he should also see the local economic losses, the overall environmental benefits obtained. U.S. conservation biology who is also a Deer Hunter's Carl once told me: "I am concerned that wildlife populations and their living environment, not to save a single individual." In his view, whether it is entertainment hunt, or hunting trophies are entire populations of wild animals and their living environment beneficial to sustainable use patterns.

When the planet have more than 30,000 kinds of plants and animals survive, which may or are subjected to human use and trading of endangered or facing extinction, sustainability is the current human use must comply with the choice. Of course, sports hunting is not the only way these choices, even in some areas are not the best way, but it has been proved, after all, is an effective way.

Hope that the reasonable and lawful, fair distribution of sports hunting in China can also become a natural means of protection. Hopefully, our society can rationally accept and actively monitor these "gun of the environmentalists."

Huawei involved in bid

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19 evening news, according to foreign media reports, Nokia Siemens Networks, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Nokia Siemens"), announced Monday, will be 12 billion cash acquisition of Motorola's wireless network infrastructure sector most of the assets.

Nokia Siemens CEO Jifu Su Li (Rajeev Suri), said in a statement: "This is an exciting transaction will further enhance the profitability of Nokia Siemens will provide customers, employees and shareholders to bring huge benefits. "

For Motorola, the transaction will increase the amount of cash in their hands. Early next year, Motorola will spin off its mobile phones and set-top box business. With the introduction of new smart phones, Motorola mobile phone unit is trying to restore vitality. But this requires large amounts of cash support to carry out the necessary acquisitions.

Into the United States and Japan

Nokia Siemens for Japan and the United States has long coveted, and the acquisition of Motorola's wireless sector can enter the market successfully. While Motorola's main production of the sector some of the old network technology equipment, but can help to get more mobile of Nokia Siemens carrier relationships, such as Verizon, Sprint and KDDI, etc..

Yankee Group analyst Kenneth Leibei En (Kenneth Rehbehn) said that, although Verizon has selected the fourth-generation network equipment partners, but by virtue of the deal, Nokia Siemens expected future short-listed.

Motorola's wireless network equipment sector produces GSM networks in the wireless CDMA and traditional voice, data and video equipment. Under the agreement, Nokia Siemens will acquire most of the assets of the sector, while Motorola will retain the "iDEN" Push to Talk (push to talk), and public safety technology.

After completion of the transaction, will be about 7,500 employees were transferred to Nokia, Motorola, Siemens, including in the United States, China and India R & D team.


The deal shows that Motorola is in turn in the wireless market, a lost opportunity. In the first wireless communications market, a large part of the device invented by Motorola. Currently, Motorola's networks sector size is far smaller than competitors such as Ericsson. In recent years, due to restructuring operators, Motorola's contract less and less. In contrast, in emerging markets, Huawei and other competitors to win more and more customers.

Kenya's stunning tune with continental Africa

With East and North Africa compared to other countries, Kenya is not the equator runs through the desert land. Its relatively stable political and economic, cover almost all of the African continent the landscape: deserts, forests, grasslands, lakes, coasts, and even snow in the mountains, and different animal communities in which the aggregation of migration, attracting a large number of international tourists.

From the airport to the Fairmont The Norfolk Hotel in Nairobi, we see that is colorful painted cottage advertisers, lying in the grass to sleep locals, crowded bus, scattered scattered site: a typical African city.

I remember arriving at the hotel scene: South Africa and France in the World Cup in South Africa goal, Kenyans cheered, spread throughout the hotel's central garden grass. Fatigue caused by long-haul flights could not contain my desire to stroll around outside - the hotel have a stall near the market, a police guard armed with AK47's to spread the market (later we found that almost all of Kenya's "Market" is to be this way). Stand owners and intermediaries warmly greeted tourists shopping, or even a sudden you say: "What are you looking for, Master? (Owner, you want to?)."

This level of tone to please with its own reasons. Norfolk hotel room in the gallery, with many of the white elite on the layout rule in Kenya, adventure, travel photographs for visitors to nostalgia, and appreciation. The history of Kenya, had been repeatedly fight the Portuguese and Arabs, in 1963 before it was British colonial, in 1977 long before the Europeans hunting hunting, adventure land. Currently, tourism is Kenya's largest foreign exchange industry, vendors are well-trained.

Sunrise East Africa

Trips to Africa, you must first tutorial about the knowledge of plants and animals, and my first lesson of the class of African plants in to the Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club on the road began.

June is the fall in Kenya, only occasionally saw the monkey bread tree, Robinia pseudoacacia always alone in the grasslands on a long (possibly accompanied by a head of a giraffe eating the leaves), and Euphorbia trees are usually inserted in the mud down the roadside . Long grass, shrubs and trees along the road annihilation of all, narrow gauge railway, churches, schools, poor football, grazing cattle and sheep, as well as civilians in the metal front of the house to rest black, looks like being buried being in the wilderness.

This Safari Club in stark contrast. Although before the arrival of the jeep to a wildebeest, zebra and giraffe alternating walking through the bushes, but when the door into the manor, a sight that has become the British Zhou Ranbian green grass, asphalt, and by careful layout The English bench and yellow locust, also wearing a black dress to your waiter said, "JUMBO (Hello)."

Those interested in colonial style of art tourists in Kenya (whether or Masai Mara National Park, prairie) of all luxury hotels Victorian garden layout view, veranda or in the long room, hunting and adventure found in color of the decorations - such as the wall of the animal specimens.

Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club built above the equator, the equivalent of walking through the hotel throughout the hemisphere. Was cloud-covered Mount Kenya in the hotel suite is the East, I work with it across the grasslands and forests, as well as estate decorative flowers, wide slopes, small swimming pool. As plain by playing the violin - monkeys on the roof of Mind to play, peacocks leisurely walk in front of us, the birds in the sky on them. This is a stunning Africa with a European tone.

Before going to bed, I deliberately opened the door curtain glass floor, the second morning arrived, the sun from the cloud came out after Mount Kenya, gold hit the bed, wake me from sleep. This is what I experienced one of the most beautiful morning, all the anxiety and uncertainty are gone. I turn off the phone, turn off the computer, and then start writing postcards. At this moment, the East African sunrise occupied me, and I forgot all rare.
