Chapter 384 Xihong Nature Reserve

As the wonder of thousands of birds entering the forest outside Xihong Zoo was forwarded by netizens present, the news soon appeared on major news media.

Even Longguo Daily opened a special topic to praise Ningnan's exemplary work in ecological restoration.

And it advocates other cities to learn from Ningnan.

Ningnan's reputation as an ecological civilization city has been thoroughly established, and it has attracted a large number of tourists from other places.

It has undoubtedly secured the top spot in the list of popular tourist cities in 2023.

As the biggest beneficiaries, Ningnan's leaders in charge are also very happy.

This is simply a matter of God feeding food and pie in the sky. In the next year, as long as they don't make any big mistakes, their level can be raised next year.

However, they also know that all this is inseparable from Xihong Zoo.

In return, they also came up with a plan to feed back Xihong Zoo.

......

"What? We are going to establish a nature reserve in this area, and the surrounding wetland park will also be included?"

In the office of Xihong Zoo, when Yang Lin received this news early in the morning, his eyes were instantly stagnant.

It took him two seconds to react to this news, and at the same time, a doubt arose in his mind.

"According to the above, is Xihong Zoo affiliated to this newly established nature reserve, or is this nature reserve affiliated to Xihong Zoo?"

"The nature reserve is affiliated to Xihong Zoo, right? That's fine, I roughly understand what it means."

......

As soon as the phone was hung up, Yang Lin quickly opened the mobile map.

After some operations, an area centered on Xihong Zoo was circled by him.

The next second he grinned.

If what was said on the other end of the phone just now is true, then the area of ​​this future nature reserve will be second only to the Damingshan Nature Reserve next to it.

Of course, calling it a nature reserve is just an official statement, in fact, these areas are all assigned to Xihong Zoo.

How to build and arrange it depends on Yang Lin's operation.

If all of them are used, Xihong Zoo will become the world's largest wildlife park.

But just when Yang Lin was about to laugh out loud, he suddenly came to his senses.

"No, these areas are wastelands with little use value. It costs money to develop them. Why should I be happy?"

"Such a large area, even if it is just planted with trees, it will cost a lot of money."

"Oh no, I'm taking over again."

However, the establishment of a nature reserve has become an established fact. Within a month, Xihong Nature Reserve should pass the review.

At that time, in addition to being the director of Xihong Zoo, he will also have the identity of the person in charge of the reserve.

Now he can only hope that the government can give a little financial support.

And just when Yang Lin's idea came up, another surprise came.

"Director Yang, I just received news that the city will invest a lot of financial and material resources in the construction of Xihong Nature Reserve this year, and the province will also provide support."

When Director Nie on the other end of the phone told him the news, Yang Lin wanted to go to Director Nie's house to pay his New Year's greetings.

"However, there is a problem now. If you want to establish a nature reserve, there are requirements for the number and species of rare animals and plants in the reserve. This problem is not easy for us to solve. Now we can only rely on you, Director Yang."

"There is such a thing?" Yang Lin, who was excited just now, was stunned.

"Yes, in addition to the national level, our national nature reserves are divided into three levels: provincial, municipal and county. We want to build Xihong Nature Reserve to the national level, so the first and second level protected animals and plants must reach a certain number."

After Director Nie's explanation, Yang Lin finally understood.

The next second, a smile was all over his face again.

If it were other indicators, he might not be able to handle it, but the animal and plant indicators were too simple for him.

There are a lot of national first and second level protected animals in the park, plus the rare birds in the migratory bird flocks, it is not too much to be rated as provincial level.

But if you want to be rated as national level, you need to add more.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Director Song who was far away in southern Yunnan.

Last year, Director Song had promised to donate a batch of animals.

But at that time, the park was really full, so it was temporarily not accepted.

Now the most lacking thing in Xihong Zoo is space. Any area outside can be used to accommodate animals. He can accept as many as he wants.

He immediately called Director Song.

After explaining his purpose, Director Song immediately agreed happily.

But Yang Lin still felt that it was not enough.

"Why not contact Shenlongjia Forest District and Qinling Zoo and let them express their opinions?"

Of course, he just thought about it briefly and finally gave up this tempting idea.

"We have animals now, as for plants..."

Speaking of this, Yang Lin couldn't help but glance at the blood orchid that he had been keeping on the balcony of his room.

All the blood orchids that were brought from Dolphin Island survived.

Due to the recent warm weather, several of them have bloomed gorgeous flowers.

The blood-red flower stems and petals have a breathtaking beauty under the sunlight.

When the breeze blows, the whole room is filled with the fragrance of orchids.

"Hehe, rare vegetation is here, right? I don't believe there are blood orchids anywhere else in the world except here and Dolphin Island."

As he spoke, Yang Lin was about to take out his mobile phone to take pictures and post them.

But when he just raised his mobile phone to take pictures, he suddenly remembered something.

"No, no, this won't work. It won't seem so rare."

"No matter how precious something is, it's a little less interesting without a matching story. Blood orchids are so unique. If they are a little more mysterious, their value will definitely be higher."

At this moment, the figure of Teacher Xiaoliang instantly appeared in Yang Lin's mind.

As an expert in plants, if he can get the recognition of Teacher Xiaoliang, the meaning will definitely be different.

"He seems to be saying that he will come over after the New Year. Why not contact him now and ask him to come over? Then, we can accidentally discover a rare blood orchid. By then..."

"Reliable, that's it."

After mumbling to himself, Yang Lin took out his phone again.

After the call was connected, he invited Teacher Xiaoliang to visit Gouxiongling.
