Giant of the times

Since the last time he bought the farm, Li Zetian has calmed down and made no big moves.

When you have nothing to do on the farm, you can go to the lake for boating and fishing, or you can go to the Amazon rainforest to seek excitement, hunting, and adventure.

Perhaps Li Zetian has an adventurous spirit in his heart. He likes hunting and adventure very much. However, there are many dangers lurking in the Amazon rainforest.

For example, there are the terrifying Pacu piranhas, which have unique, human-like teeth that bite off the sperm of swimming males. There are also red-bellied piranhas. Their red bellies have sharp teeth. These teeth are interlocked, making it easy for them to tear apart the flesh of their prey. Schools of fish will gather around their unfortunate prey and separate them. Eaten with the bones in minutes...

There is a black poisonous ant in the Amazon rainforest. People will die within 24 hours after being bitten! In some local tribes, in order to test the boy's bravery, the father went to the forest to catch some black ants, put them in earthen gloves woven from branches, and asked the boy to wear the gloves on his hands. The boy was bitten by poisonous ants and screamed. The scene was horrific. After 20 minutes, the parents took off the boy's gloves and immediately applied a detoxifying herbal medicine. A week later, the boy's wound healed. Only after experiencing this hardship can a boy step into the ranks of a man and know how to survive in the very harsh conditions of the Amazon rainforest in the future.

In the Amazon rainforest, venomous snakes, beasts, and crocodiles are often the most common. The piranha flowers here are terrifying and hard to guard against. They are fragrant and have beautiful flowers, but they are actually attracting prey. When you reach out, When you touch them, the long-awaited branches and leaves will immediately wrap you up tightly, making it impossible for you to escape until you die... The tour guide once told Li Zetian that the more beautiful things are here, the farther away they are. Otherwise your life will be in danger!

In fact, forget about this. It is said that there are cannibal tribes in the Amazon rainforest, and there are quite a few of them.

Just listening to this is terrifying!

How terrifying it is for people to eat people. If it falls into their hands, life would be worse than death!

Although Li Zetian has an adventurous spirit, he cherishes his life very much. Every time he went on an expedition to the Amazon rainforest, he brought a large group of bodyguards and the best local guides with him. Even so, he only dared to play on the outskirts of the Amazon rainforest. However, even the outskirts of the Amazon rainforest opened Li Zetian's eyes to see many different types of animals and plants.

In fact, there are many large-scale farms in Brazil, and the reason why Li Zetian chose to acquire Fernandez Farm is because Fernandez Farm is located in Mato Grosso, Brazil, which is the "Kidney of the Earth" Pantanal. The swamp is located against the backdrop of the Amazon rainforest, the "lungs of the earth". The Amazon rainforest is the largest tropical rainforest in the world, accounting for 50% of the total area of ​​​​tropical rainforests on the earth, reaching 6.5 million square kilometers. It is rich in natural resources and has a wide variety of species, ranking first in the world. The ecological environment is complex and biological The diversity is well preserved and it is called "a paradise for biological scientists".

In Li Zetian’s view, the rainforest gene pool is the most valuable asset of the Amazon rainforest!

…

…

After Li Zetian came back from his adventure in the Amazon rainforest this time, he had been sullen. He sat quietly on the bench under the grape trellis of the farm and looked into the distance, looking worried.

Yu Jingqiu looked worried, held up her slightly bulging belly, walked over, then sat next to him, and asked with concern: "My dear, what's wrong with you? You don't show your brows. Is this the case?" An accident occurred during our first expedition to the Amazon?”

Li Zetian shook his head and said: "There was no accident, I just ran into some other things."

"What makes you unhappy?"

"It's not that I'm unhappy, I just feel it's a pity. During this expedition, I saw many trees that had been cut down excessively. As far as I could see, they were all bare tree stumps, which was simply shocking! There were also large areas burned by fires. Traces of! I then asked the local tour guide. It turned out that in 1970, in order to solve the poverty problem in the northeast, the Brazilian president made the most tragic decision: to develop the Amazon region. This decision caused huge damage to the Amazon primeval forest. …”

"Oil extraction, cocaine cultivation, land burning, over-logging, overgrazing, forest fires, etc., have caused the area of ​​​​the Amazon rainforest to decrease sharply every day. At least one species disappears there every day. As the tropical rainforest decreases, many years later, At least 500,000 to 800,000 plant and animal species will become extinct."

Li Zetian paused and sighed slightly, "The loss of the rainforest gene pool will become one of the biggest losses for mankind!!!"

The pace of development of genetic technology companies cannot keep up with the speed of rainforest destruction. Li Zetian is very sad!

Immediately, he sighed and added: "The reduction of the rainforest gene pool is only one aspect. You must know that the reduction of forests not only means the reduction of forest resources and rainforest gene pools, but also means the deterioration of the environment on a global scale.

Forests have the functions of conserving water sources, regulating climate, reducing pollution, reducing noise, reducing soil erosion and maintaining biological diversity. It is like a huge throughput machine, swallowing a large amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted globally every year and producing a large amount of oxygen. The Amazon rainforest is known as the "Lungs of the Earth."

If the Amazon forest is cleared, the oxygen that sustains human survival on the earth will be reduced by 1/3, which will cause the boney Nomi effect. I am afraid that mankind will perish long ago! "

Yu Jingqiu looked stunned.

"It's not as exaggerated as you said. The Amazon forest is so big, how can it be completely cut down..." she said.

"I'm just making an analogy, but tropical rainforests are indeed shrinking rapidly!"

"So what are you going to do?"

"I plan to give some suggestions to the Brazilian government and suggest that they enact an ecological protection law in the Amazon region. The Amazon, the largest tropical rainforest in the world, is a treasure given by God for human survival. She should not be harmed like this! Every time we breathe Take in 5 mouths of oxygen, and one of them comes from the Amazon forest!

We always miss the mother river that feeds us, but have we ever thought about where the oxygen we breathe comes from?

The pain of the Amazon rainforest will be the sorrow of all mankind! "

Li Zetian sighed again and said: "If I had not gone to the Amazon rainforest, if I had not seen those shocking scenes, I am afraid that I still would not be able to understand the preciousness of the Amazon."

After saying that, Li Zetian turned his head and looked towards the direction of the Amazon rainforest as if he was sitting here quietly just now. At this time, he silently asked Amazon in his heart: "Are you crying, Amazon rainforest?"
