Let’s take a brief look at this scenic spot. Qiansongba National Forest Park is located at the intersection of the Bashang Plateau and the northern Hebei mountains. It is an important part of the “First Grassland in North Beijing”, because there are tens of thousands of primitive spruces growing in the valley and gully.

As a national forest park, it has rich vegetation types and high forest coverage, and it also has the reputation of being the most beautiful forest in China. Above the sky, the clouds cover the fog, the windmills sway, the neon lights, the grass and the sky, the majestic and vastness of “one mountain sees three towns, and the sky is within reach”, but also “the sky has four seasons, ten miles of different sky” “The excitement and experience of people walking among them, the peaks are undulating, the white clouds are floating among the mountains, the goshawk hovering on the head, and the green grass under the feet.

The biggest impression of Qiansongba is the scenery here, which is different from the traditional grassland. There are mountains, lakes, sea of ​​flowers and forests. To put it simply, some of the prairie is here, and some of the prairie is not here. It is not too much to say that it is a treasure tourist attraction. Driving on the vast prairie, with blue sky and white clouds on your head, and flocks of cattle and sheep where you can see, you will feel better in an instant.

The endless green ocean, but not just green. Perhaps because of the altitude of Qiansongba, the green here presents different colors, dark green, turquoise, and emerald green with distinct levels, without any aesthetic fatigue.

The main attractions of Qiansongba National Forest Park are: Five Lakes Wetland, Botanical Garden, Golden Dew Plum Garden, Nanshan Wangyuan, White Birch Family, Spruce Canyon, Dianjiangtai, Spruce Lake, White Birch Lake, Valentine’s Valley, etc., all of which are dazzling white The white birch forest, the gorgeous wetland flowers on the grassland and numerous wild animals, the ancient and mysterious virgin forests and the magnificent plateau roads form a “three rings, two lakes and twelve sceneries” in the world of wonderland, which interprets spruce The beautiful and moving love story of the prince and the princess of the Birch.

Of course, I have to boast about the route design of the entire scenic area. Although the area of ​​Qiansongba Forest Park has reached 100 square kilometers, it has designed a very good self-driving tour route and viewing platform inside, which is divided into two routes, even if you drive a family car It can also easily complete all the routes, the whole journey is about 30 kilometers, and the self-driving tour is really invincible.

The last thing to talk about must be the sunrise and sunset here. If you want to see the sunrise, you will probably set off to the top of the mountain at about 4 o’clock. If the sunset in Liushugou on the first day of Beijing North is invincible, then Qiansongba National Forest Park The sunset is also not to be missed. The beauty is only in an instant, not only the healing scenery, but also the sunset and sunrise that has made countless photographers obsessed with it. The beauty is endless.

Looking at the sheep from a distance, all of them are bowing their heads and eating tender grass seriously, and the cubs show contentment and laziness, which makes people laugh. To say that the most traditional means of transportation for the locals is the horses, so in the stables deep in the forest, there are also several strong horses. In such a place rich in natural food, the horses also grow strong. They all say that they drink mineral water and eat Chinese herbal medicine. When the local shepherds rode horses to drive the sheep, I also seemed to see a picture of people and animals living in harmony with nature. I met local beekeepers and shepherds in the forest. I was curious about their lives. I also wanted to feel the harmony between man and nature. These local Kazakh herders are also very enthusiastic and honest. After taking a photo with the sheep, they took a photo with the shepherd. Unexpectedly, he agreed with one bite. These humanistic elements added a different vitality to the Tarim Forest. The people living in the forest are hardworking and simple. The natural environment is suitable for beekeeping. Therefore, in the Tarim Forest, there is such a group of beekeepers who record the scenes of squeezing honey and are happy for their harvest. Although I think this kind of life is a bit monotonous, there is no signal, and the accommodation conditions are also very ordinary, but I can see that they are all enjoying it. Approaching the original log cabin, it was like breaking into a hobbit’s home.The more you go deeper into the forest, the richer the landscape will be.

Tesso-en Garden in Gujo Hachiman. (Photo: Stephen Mansfield) In Japanese, “shinrinyoku” means forest bathing, is a word used to describe how people relax and refresh their spirits when immersed in nature in wild forests. Over time, this concept became more and more popular and gradually became the spiritual therapy of the people of Phu Tang. Forest bathing is spending time resting and relaxing in a wooded area and “bathing” under the trees. This term was first used by the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in 1982, with the desire to promote a healthy lifestyle while developing and protecting the vast and beautiful natural environment. beauty of the country. Forest bathing in Japan is a new medical therapy that helps relieve stress and anxiety extremely effectively. Psychologists believe that human energy and strength will be optimized when in a state of stillness and balance. Those who have experienced forest bathing said that they feel all fatigue is dispelled when coming here. Especially in the context of the Covid-19 epidemic, the mental recovery benefits brought by gardens to people are undisputed. Whether in person, online or through illustrated books, the inspiring presence of gardens can help overcome lingering stresses in life. On a higher level, rock gardens (often called meditation gardens) are ideal locations for meditation and mind purification. In Japan, the forests and gardens in the ancient capital of Kyoto are the most visited places. Visitors can find the garden in a quiet residential area like Shake-machi, near Kamigamo Shrine. The dense trees at the meditation gardens act as sound barriers, creating a peaceful environment for stillness or introspection. In addition, visitors can visit Hakusasonso – a sacred garden with a dome design, a tea ceremony house, some stone decorations and a Buddha statue. Or when coming to Toji-in garden, Myoshin-ji, tourists can admire the delicate aesthetic and special feeling of Kyoto. There is a Chinese proverb that says “Life begins the day you open a garden”. The flow of organic time in a Japanese garden is quite different from the flow of work or of time. The pace of life “decelerating” amid the Covid-19 pandemic is creating a new state of happiness, making people calmer and more relaxed. Exposure to Japanese gardens for forest bathing will make us feel restored and reborn. Phuong Thao (according to Nikkei Asia)

The world’s major media outlets are simultaneously reporting on the elephants’ more than 500km journey from their habitat in the southwestern mountains of Yunnan to the outskirts of Kunming city. The elephants were filmed on the outskirts of Kunming city. Photo: AP. Rising star Over the past few days, elephants have become famous on China’s Weibo social network. Pictures of sleeping elephants attracted 25,000 posts and 200 million views on the evening of June 7. On Twitter and YouTube, users share cute videos of the elephants, especially the image of two young in the herd slipping into an irrigation ditch and needing the help of two adult elephants. AP . “We should be like these elephants, more family-oriented, take families on vacation, help, care for and protect each other,” said a YouTube comment by the account MrDeterministicchaos. The elephants were monitored via street security cameras as well as dozens of aerial recording drones. The elephants’ journey went unnoticed until May 24, when they entered Ngashan County, Yunnan Province, and caused a stir in the densely populated district. Elephants enter people’s houses, eat corn and other crops. One baby elephant even got drunk after entering the winery. The elephants have scoured some houses and fields. Photo: AP. Herds of elephants scour many farms for food and water. The elephants also went into a car dealership, even “visiting” a nursing home. They poked their trunks in through the window, causing a man to hide under the bed to avoid scaring the elephants. To date, the elephant herd has not caused any damage to people or livestock. However, crop damage is said to be more than $1 million. When they left their home in the mountains of southwestern Yunnan province, the herd numbered 16. However, authorities said the two children had returned. During the migration, a mother elephant gave birth to a young. The elephant herd now consists of 6 males and 3 adult females, 3 young individuals and 3 newborns. It is not clear why the elephants roam The reason the elephants travel such long distances is still a mystery. However, the elephants seem to be particularly attracted to maize, fruit and tropical crops. Some say that the herd of elephants is lost from the leader of the herd. According to Nilanga Jayasinghe, director of the Asian animal conservation program at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Asian elephants are attached to their habitat. Elephants only leave when there are major disturbances, loss of resources, or a sharp increase in the number of individuals. “In this case, we really don’t know why they left their range. But we do know their habitat has been severely damaged by agriculture, which converts forests into arable land. in that area for the past few decades,” Ms. Jayasinghe said. The WWF expert said that it is likely that the elephants are looking for a new habitat, now they are lost and just keep moving. The reason why the elephants moved away from their original range is still a mystery. Photo: AP. Chinese authorities have actively taken action to avoid negative interactions, but they must soon determine “what to do next, as well as avoid creating conflicts between elephants and people”, Ms. Jayasinghe said. Elephants are one of the most heavily protected species in China, which has helped the country’s elephant population continue to grow steadily despite the continuous shrinking of its natural habitat. Chinese authorities ask people to exercise maximum restraint when encountering elephants. At the place where the elephants pass, people are asked to stay indoors, not to stare at the elephant, not to use fire or any other measures to scare the elephant away. To date, authorities have adopted a variety of passive measures to keep the elephants away from urban areas, such as parking trucks and construction equipment in roadblocks, as well as using food to lure the elephants. By June 8, the elephants were on the outskirts of Kunming city. One of the adult males is separating himself from the herd, which creates both excitement and concern for those who want to continue monitoring the herd. In a statement on June 7, the command center monitoring the elephants said the elephants appeared to be resting. Chinese authorities have mobilized 410 rapid response personnel, police, many motor vehicles, and 14 drones to monitor the elephant herd. People living in the area near where the elephants passed have been evacuated. Temporary traffic control measures have been implemented. Authorities also prepared 2 tons of food for the elephants. One of the goals now is “to keep quiet to create conditions to lead the elephants to migrate west and south,” the command center said. The Asian elephant is the largest land animal in Eurasia. The number of Asian elephant species living in the wild is generally declining, currently only about 50,000 individuals. Habitat destruction, illegal hunting, and anthropogenic impact are the biggest threats to elephant survival. Herd of elephants ‘march’ in the city in China A herd of elephants travels from a tropical forest in Yunnan province (China) into downtown Kunming. They went into a car store and broke into people’s houses to eat 200 kg of corn.

Spotted deer, also known as white-spotted deer and flower deer, native to the forest regions of Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh and India, are the most common deer species in the region. Their belly is white, with a light reddish brown body, with white spots, looking very beautiful. The height at the shoulder is about 90 cm, the weight can reach 85 kg, the life span is about 20 to 30 years. Hawaii originally had only two species of mammals, the gray bat and the seal. After the Bosnians and Europeans arrived on the island, they respectively brought pigs, horses, sheep, goats, cows, rats, rabbits and other mammals; coupled with the fact that Hawaii was an important shipping hub and at the time, species from all over the world were brought ashore by smugglers’ ships, and apparently these exotic species later that have invaded the territory and food of native species and caused many of them to become extinct. According to a 2017 study published in the journal “Nature-Ecology and Evolution,” Hawaii and Florida in the United States are home to the largest numbers of invasive species in islands and continental coastal areas, respectively. globally. The growth and development success of spotted deer in Hawaii can be said to be a model of the invasion of alien species, according to experts’ estimates, there are about 70,000 spotted deer on Molokai Island in when the inhabitants there were only about 7,000 people; The second largest island is Maui, which has about 70,000 spotted deer, while in the other small islands there are about 50,000, the main island of Hawaii is only 16,000 square kilometers but has at least more than 100,000. The reason spotted deer is so successful in Hawaii is because of the vegetation here that the fauna is here – like protozoa, native species lead a very comfortable life, they are stupid and fearful, even they have not yet evolved any defensive skills, such as stinging and venom, which has allowed invaders such as spotted deer, wild boar, and goats to freely forage and reproduce without have any concerns. In addition, there are no aggressive predators and predators here, so spotted deer are not threatened at all, they did not even choose the breeding season, instead young deer were born. year round. This makes their growth almost unrestricted. This led to the ecological destruction of Hawaii by spotted deer. The birds that nest on the ground always have their nests destroyed, the green leaves and young shoots of the plants are also their delicious meal, the fruits, vegetables and sugarcane of the farmers have the same fate. The destruction of green vegetation by spotted deer has increased the fragility of the natural environment on the Hawaiian Islands, the land being washed into the sea, which in turn leads to the degradation of coral reefs. Moreover, spotted deer also provide food for another invasive species, mosquito, and threaten human health and safety; when they die and there are no animals to eat them, this will pollute the environment and form harmful risks to human health. The fragile aquatic environment on the archipelago is also greatly impacted; Spotted deer also love to wriggle across the road, which is also a fatal threat to motorists. Although sacred to Hawaiians and important to the local water supply, Hawaii’s endemic plant species ironwood (Hawaiian apricot tree) that grows in tall forests is also threatened by spotted deer. This plant can take root in volcanic rocks 20 to 25 meters high, when surrounded by clouds and fog, water will condense on the leaves and fall to the ground, condensing into droplets into the reservoir. In fact, ironwood trees are susceptible to two types of fungal infections, forming scars on the bark, before the tree can heal these scars on its own to avoid fungal infection, spotted deer will bite and rub the bark causing the wounds. wounds take longer to heal, eventually causing fatal injuries to the plant. It seems that the spotted deer invasion was really a big deal, although Kamehameha V is hailed as the last emperor of the Kamehameha dynasty, revered as much as the first, but at this point he has clearly created a crisis for the archipelago and has left a big problem for generations to come. Because spotted deer have no natural enemies, the Hawaiians have to hunt deer and consider it a part of traditional culture, especially in rural areas, many families have additional cold storage to store spotted deer meat. . However, most spotted deer in Hawaii live on private land, although a deer hunting license costs as little as $20 a year and can be obtained online, the procedures and processes involved in hunting are complicated. Shooting made the deer hunting efficiency very low. In addition to reaching an agreement with the landowner, each hunter must be accompanied by a Department of Agriculture inspector to conduct a medical examination of wild spotted deer after hunting. There is also another rule that hunters must always follow in terms of humane issues, which is to only fire a single shot against a spotted deer, this bullet must make the prey immediately unconscious. ie, which means you have to shoot at its skull. If you can’t do it, you can only wait until evening, bring military-grade night vision goggles, even use a drone to find the deer you want to hunt, to be able to do this humanely. In addition, US law allows you to provide game meat to people who need it, after which you must pass a few meat tests before you can enjoy them. But Hawaii does not have a legal venison slaughter operation, so even if a commercial deer hunter wanted to sell spotted deer, they would have to transport the spotted deer to the United States for processing, then then shipped back for sale, which makes spotted deer meat here commanding a hefty price tag. Spotted deer are good runners, smart and resilient, so Hawaii plans to build fences in 30% of key areas to protect endangered species from spotted deer – need to build fences nearly 4 meters high to be able to completely stop them, this is certainly a huge investment, difficult to make. Looking at this you might think it’s too complicated, but if Hawaii is located in China, the problem is much simpler, gourmets can quickly return the spotted deer herd to the state it was when they invaded 150 years ago for a short while.

Kbal Spean is an ancient historical archaeological site deep in the jungle, at the edge of the sacred Kulen mountain. Mount Kulen is an important pilgrimage site for Cambodians, about 50 km northeast of Siem Reap. The Kbal Spean is essentially a small river that flows from the top of Mount Kulen down to the fields surrounding the Angkor plain below. The river is a veritable treasure with an uncountable number of lingas (the symbol of the Hindu God Shiva) carved into the riverbed and surrounding rocks, giving it the name “River of a Thousand Lingas” “. The original carvings were made in the late 10th century, early 11th century. Who made them? Nobody know! But they are said to have been commissioned by the Khmer kings. Locals believe that this blessing is a way to keep their land fertile. Bokor Hill, Cambodia Bokor Hill is located atop the remote Damrei mountain in Preah Monivong National Park, about 37km west of the town of Kampot in southern Cambodia. It was built by the French in 1921 as a mountain retreat to escape the sweltering heat of Phnom Penh. It took only 9 months to complete the resort, but a total of 900 people, most of them Cambodian workers, died during construction. Bokor Hill Station was completed in 1925, welcoming the French and Cambodians of the upper class to relax. During its lifetime, it was known for its lavishness and grandeur. Besides the lavish Bokor Palace hotel and casino, there is also a post office, shops, churches and royal apartments. Fifteen years later, in 1940, due to local uprisings by the Khmer Issarak (an anti-French and anti-colonial movement), the colonists left Bokor Hill. In 1962, a casino was built inside the new hotel, several other buildings were also added. In 1972, Bokor Hill station was once again abandoned when the Khmer Rouge captured the area. By now, it has become very dilapidated and locals say the place is “full of ghosts”. Abbot Ayutthaya Buddha, Thailand Thái Before Bangkok, Ayutthaya thrived from the 14th to the 18th centuries – as one of the largest and wealthiest cities in the world. After the Myanmar army attack in 1767, Ayutthaya became an abandoned place. They burned the city and destroyed the temples, destroyed sacred statues, destroyed Buddha statues. Unfortunately, the city was never rebuilt or resettled. All that remains are crumbling brick walls, hundreds of abandoned temples and countless headless Buddha statues. A Buddha’s head miraculously “survived”. It is the Buddha on the roots of a tree at Wat Mahathat, also one of the most iconic Buddha statues in Thailand. No one knows for sure how the Buddha’s head got caught in the roots of a tree. One theory is that the head was buried in the ground during times of conflict and was slowly raised by tree roots over the years. Kyaiktiyo Golden Rock, Myanmar Kyaikhtiyo Pagoda is found atop Mount Kyaiktiyo in a small town in Mon State, Myanmar. This is one of the most famous pilgrimage sites in Myanmar. What caught everyone’s attention was the huge golden rock that perched dangerously on the edge of a cliff with more than half of its surface tilted to the outdoors. The rock defied gravity and it looked like it was about to roll down the hill. Pilgrims have flocked to the site for decades. Over the years, the sacred stone has been inlaid with many layers of gold leaf by the devotees to show their respect to accumulate virtue and purify the soul. The Lost City of Mrauk U, Myanmar Mrauk U is a quaint little town in Rakhine State, near the Bangladesh border. It served as the capital of Mrauk U Kingdom from 1430 to 1785. At the time, Mrauk U was an important, wealthy trading city, attracting merchants from the Middle East, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, France and other Asian countries. After the First English War, the kingdom collapsed and the center of commerce was moved to the coastal ports of Sittwe. The Mrauk U of today has been frozen in time with limited accessibility. Forgotten by outsiders, Mrauk U became a “missing city”. Travel to Mrauk U, you will have a trip back in time. Life moves very slowly. Simple houses, small wooden huts scattered throughout the countryside. The main means of transportation are wooden bullock carts, old-fashioned tractors, bicycles and buggies. Similar to Bagan, Mrauk U has a large collection of some 700 ancient temples and pagodas built during the reigns of 49 Arakan kings. Although the site is not as big or majestic as Bagan, it has its own charm. Ancient jungle-covered ruins make a great backdrop for photos, especially at sunrise when the morning mist adds a mystical effect. Temples aren’t the only attraction in Mrauk U. The village offers a chance to explore past life and connect with the local culture. Unlike Bagan, the military government forced people living around the old temples to move to other places, in Mrauk U, people still live and do agriculture here.

These giant rocks are located in the Lake District near Helvellyn, this is one of the oldest stone circles in England, built around 3200 BC and it has now become a holy place. Hambledon Hill, Dorset In addition to being a place of scenic beauty that seemed wild and sunny, Hambledon was also a burial ground for aristocratic families before becoming a fighting fortress in the heart of ancient England. Today Hambledon has become the finest example of an Iron Age hill, with amazing natural vistas and some of the best preserved prehistoric architecture in Europe. This fortress was abandoned around 300 BC. But for 2,000 years it was one of the most important settlements in the West. It is now a National Nature Reserve with many rare species of wild plants and 28 distinctive butterfly species. St Nectan’s Glen, Cornwall For thousands of years, the Trevillet River has carved into the hard cliffs forming a majestic waterfall that cascades down into the valley below. This dramatic landscape has become legendary and attracts many peoples including the Romans who flock to sacrifice and worship the spirit of the river. According to legend King Arthur and his knights were blessed in holy water from this waterfall before searching for the Holy Grail. Up to now, Glen waterfall is of special interest to scientists because of the rare flora and fauna that grow around it. Glencoe, Scottish highlands Waterfalls and rivers flow through this wild, windswept volcano and down below, making Glencoe one of Scotland’s most romantic valleys. At the same time, the mountain is also one of the best ski areas in the country. Although very beautiful and majestic, Glecoe is also a place with the most gloomy legends. The howls of the wind through the valley resemble the groans of the 80 souls of the MacDonald family, slaughtered here in 1692. The murders are thought to be related to a long-standing rivalry between the two families. the MacDonalds and Campbells.

Group of young people in Dak Lak making seed bombs In early 2021, this group of young people changed the color of cleared lands, bare hills, grasslands and forests by wrapping the seeds with clay, helping to protect the seeds from being eaten by insects. and when it rains. The soil cover will retain enough water for the seeds to germinate. Nuts are prepared by the group to make a seed bomb The way to do it is just to keep, wash and dry the fruit seeds… create a “seed bomb” – mix clay, humus with manure and a little water, knead it by hand, then give the seeds to plant. in the middle and then roll it up. Next, the “seed bomb” was placed by young people in the vacant land, the wasteland where they lived and passed. “Seed bombs” grow according to the principle of nature, they germinate when it rains, without fertilizing or watering. A bomb has five kinds of particles According to Mr. Pham Thanh Tuan (the initiator of making “seed bombs”), there are 5 types of seeds in 1 bomb: pioneer trees, canopy trees, nitrogen-fixing plants and low-level medicinal herbs. After the seedlings have grown, a sufficient amount of nutrients is available as compost mixed with the soil for the initial growth of the plant. The rainy season lasts 2-3 months, enough for strong seedlings, when the dry season comes, the resistance of seedlings is also stronger. Mix clay, manure, water, humus as seed cover Thanks to the compactness of each “seed bomb”, even the dry season can be carried to an area suitable for the growing conditions of each cultivar contained in the bomb. According to Mr. Tuan, using “seed bombs” helps to overcome difficulties in climate conditions as well as save manpower and costs for afforestation. “Seed bombs” can take advantage of endemic trees regenerated by seeds, with high drought tolerance to develop natural forest areas.

Na Hang Tua Chu bamboo forest in Pung Luong Commune, about 20km from Mu Cang Chai town, has an area of ​​over 1ha and is more than 60 years old. Opened to welcome guests from July 2020, the bamboo forest attracts visitors by its pristine beauty and has become a “check-in” point for backpackers as well as tourists from all over the world arriving in Mu Cang Chai. To get to this point we have to go on very small roads with steep, winding slopes. But the deeper we go into the forest, the more we feel the freshness of the air, the green of hundreds of thousands of bamboo trees reaching up to mingle with the clouds. With the beauty of the bamboo forest seemingly only encountered in the scenes of the swordplay movies, it has brought visitors very beautiful photography angles. That is why tourists have come in large numbers to see the scenery of Pung Luong bamboo forest. Along with the bamboo forest in Pung Luong, visitors can also explore and admire another bamboo forest that is older than that of the bamboo forest in Hang Sung village, Mo De commune. This bamboo forest is equally beautiful with the straight bamboo groves, which are arranged alternately with chairs, mats, swings… made from the main material of the trunk of the bamboo tree, creating a poetic image for the people Who loves the fresh space of nature. This bamboo forest is known to tourists because of the beautiful photos posted on social networking sites. The owner of the bamboo forest is a native and a Hmong ethnic, to have a vast green bamboo forest, it is impossible not to mention the care and protection of the people here. Mu Cang Chai bamboo forest is not only as beautiful as the scene in the movie but even more beautiful thanks to the fresh air of the Northwest highlands. Although the journey to the bamboo forest is quite arduous and difficult, you may lose your way, even feel tired because of the winding slopes, but one thing is certain that the scenery here will not disappoint you. .

Boiling River. Boiling River Our understanding of the history of the Boiling River (as it relates to humans) comes from two primitive sources: local Amazonians and oil field documents from the early stages of oilfield development. Agua Caliente. Map of the boiling regions of the Boiling River, up to the range of the Boiling River merging with other rivers. Ancient history Traditionally, locals say that the Boiling River has existed since “before the days of the great-grandfathers and nuns”. The ancient name of the river was “Shanay-timpishka”, which means “Boiling in the heat of the sun”, although the heat source is likely geothermal. This is a pretty interesting name for a variety of reasons. First, the name speaks for itself as a hypothesis, illustrating how the ancients sought to explain the world around them. Second, the name is in the Amazonian-Quechua dialect which may not be archaic, likely only a few hundred years old. There is certainly a deeper history to explore, and more research will be done to truly understand what the Boiling River meant to the ancestors of the Amazons. According to Mr. Maestro Juan Flores, shaman of the Mayantuyacu region, Peru, the Boiling River has always been considered a place of great spiritual power. In the past, locals were still afraid to go into the forest of the Boiling River, especially the area of ​​Mayantuyacu, in the province of Puerto Inca, western Peru because the jungle is home to very powerful spirits, and There are even man-eating leopards. As a result, only the most powerful magicians (some of whom are ancestors of Mr. Maestro Juan) often visit the river to live with the spirits and learn the art of healing from the spirits. Westerners come to the river In the late 1920s, Peru was looking to expand its Amazon region and better connect with cities like Pucallpa and elsewhere in the country. In 1929, American geologist Robert B. Moran conducted an aerial survey from an airplane for a railway construction project and discovered a large oval mound jutting out of the forest. He immediately identified this as a potential oil reservoir, claiming it to be a salt dome. Below the River. Moran continued to organize field expeditions in 1930, 1931, and 1932. When Moran and his colleagues first encountered the Boiling River, they were concerned that the Agua Caliente Dome was a volcano and not a volcano. are sedimentary structures because geothermal systems can “cook off” oil reserves, rendering them worthless. Fortunately, they found layers of natural oil seeping into other parts of the area (not on the Boiling River) and determined that the river was not of volcanic origin. In their early maps, they referred to the river as “Shanaya” or “Shamaya,” a variation on the name “Shanay-timpishka.” In their accounts of the 1930s, Moran’s group said that “no more than 50 people lived in the area of ​​Agua Caliente”, and that the majority of them were “descendants of people who arrived in the region during the outbreak. rubber explosion”. The account also describes “there were a small number of Indians living in the main rivers, where they were rarely seen and their numbers were practically insignificant”. This is consistent with the shaman Maestro Juan’s description that only the most powerful of magicians go to the Boiling River, so few natives live there. Take a sample of 97oC boiling water. We can only guess what the natives had to think, as the oilmen entered this dangerous land of powerful spirits. Finally, Moran and his team confirmed the potential of the Agua Caliente oil field, obtained a concession to develop and exploit the oil field, and in 1938 they successfully drilled the first oil well in the area. Amazon, in Peru. Over the next 80 years or so, the ownership of Agua Caliente passed through different oil companies. Currently, Maple Energy Company is exploiting this oil field. Since the early 1990s, non-Amazon native visitors have come to the Boiling River region from all over the world, visiting Mayantuyacu and Santuario Huistin for traditional healing. Magus Maestro Santiago Enrique and his wife. Shaman centers on the Boiling River A young shaman has just finished his studies to become a traditional healer and he visits the forest. While walking, he accidentally stepped into a hunter’s trap and was shot in the leg. He was taken to the hospital and the doctors told him he would never walk again. A nurse named Sandra challenged: “If you’re such a powerful magician, why don’t you heal yourself?” Remembering the stories his grandfather used to tell him about the powerful healing spirits present on the Boiling River, the young mage picked up his crutches and walked into the woods. Maestro shaman Don Juan Flores. At the Boiling River, there was a Came Renaco tree that crossed over the Boiling River, its roots clinging to a rock and its branches submerged in the steam of the river. The young mage healed himself using the sap, bark and leaves of the Came Renaco tree along with the river’s water, and he was able to walk again. It was here that he later founded the healing resort of Mayantuyacu and began his journey like Maestro Juan Flores, or sheripiari Asháninka (healer, shaman). He married the nurse Sandra and together, they run the healing center, helping to treat tourists with ancient Amazonian remedies. Maestro Enrrique, shaman of the healing center Santuario Huistin, was originally a builder and tells how he accepted his call to become a curandero (male physician) after having a dream about the Virgin Mary in the forest. The Lady tells him to fold his tools and draw people to the rain forest to reveal its healing secrets to them. He obeyed and sought guidance from Maestro Juan Flores. After completing his training, he founded his healing center named Santuario Huistin on the Boiling River. Together with his wife Ayme, also a curandera (medicine woman) and shaman, they treat travelers with traditional Amazonian medicine. The rain forest around the Boiling River was destroyed. Why is it still a mystery? Before the oil field exploration and development program, the Soi River was a remote location known only to the locals. When the first oil field development began in the area, the rights and welfare of the indigenous peoples as well as the best for the environment were not taken into account. Moran’s accounts make it clear that the oil workers were initially troubled by the presence of the Boiling River in the area because geothermal systems could “swallow up” oil reserves, make them worthless. Fortunately for the oil miners, they found leaks of natural oil in the area (not on the Boiling River), and could see that the Agua Caliente dome was not a volcano. Although the Soi River was included in the original documents in the oil field rights document, it is reported only as a landmark, and as the original northern boundary of the oil field. Andrés Ruzo sits beside the Boiling River. Over the past 80 years, the rules, regulations and requirements related to oil development in the Amazon (especially with regard to environmental and social issues) have dramatically changed things. From the original mining concession to the present day, it is certain that the Boiling River will be identified as an important cultural site. Geothermal scientist Andrés Ruzo. In 2011, the Peruvian geophysicist’s aunt, Andrés Ruzo, introduced him to the Boiling River, as she had visited the Mayantuyacu region. The concept of this landmark quickly became clear to Andrés Ruzo through preliminary tests that the river was of geological importance; While sharing his observations with Maestro Juan, Maestro Juan then decided to bless Andrés in the process of studying the sacred river. Then Maestro Enrrique also blessed Andrés. In doing so, they allowed him to become the first geologist to make a detailed study of the Boiling River. Since this time, Andrés Zuro has worked closely with both the Mayantuyacu and Santuario Huistin treatment centers to study the river, protect it, and in the utmost responsibility they have brought it to the river. world.

Ranger Station No. 8 coordinated with Dak Rue Border Gate Border Station to detect animal traps placed in the forest. Photo: Ngoc Lan Yok Don National Park was established in 1992, is the second largest national park in the country, with an area of ​​115,545 hectares and is also the only place to preserve dipterocarp forest (DDF) in Vietnam. DDF is a unique type of forest ecosystem, containing many important and endemic species. Yok Don National Park is home to many wildlife species, including 92 species of mammals, 373 species of birds, 18 species of amphibians, 55 species of reptiles, 373 species of birds and 1,006 species of plants, hundreds of species freshwater fish and thousands of species of insects. Many of these species are listed in the Red Book of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Mr. Pham Tuan Linh, Director of Yok Don National Park said: “Yok Don National Park manages and protects a large forest area. Meanwhile, the swidden area of ​​the people is interwoven with the forest area managed by the Ranger Stations, so the subjects take advantage of the forest to hunt, shoot, trap and catch forest animals. In particular, during the dry season, when the vegetation is on fire, forest animals will move into semi-evergreen and evergreen forest areas for shelter and in places near the remaining water sources in the forest such as forests. lake, puddle. Taking advantage of this behavior of forest animals, many subjects have hunted, shot, and trapped wild animals. Since the beginning of 2020, the Yok Don National Park Ranger force has promptly detected, prevented and handled 37 cases related to wild animals. In which, there are 20 cases with owners and 17 cases without owners; The seized exhibits include 5 individuals of wild animals and more than 120kg of animal meat. In addition, the Ranger force also seized 27 custom shotguns and more than 150 cable traps of all kinds. Most of the main violations are hunting, trapping, illegally catching wild animals and transporting, buying and selling wild animals, violating the State’s regulations on forest protection (carrying vehicles, tools, etc.). illegal hunting of wild animals). Although the number of cases is not large, it has shown the initiative in deploying many preventive measures early and remotely by the Yok Don National Park rangers. For many months now, Mr. Nguyen The Cuong, Deputy Head of Ranger Station No. 9 of Yok Don National Park, and his teammates have had to stretch themselves constantly at a key point deep in the forest, he shared: “The 9th Ranger Station manages the forest. manage and protect 17 sub-zones, equivalent to about 17 thousand hectares of forest. This area is located in the core zone of the National Park. During peak times, there are days when the Station has discovered more than 10 wire traps of all kinds. Most of these wire traps are located in evergreen forest areas and near puddles and water holes in the forest, when animals come to drink water, they will easily get caught in the trap. Specifically, the incident happened on May 5, 2020. During the process of patrolling and undercover, the Ranger force of Ranger Station No. 9 discovered and arrested 6 subjects who violated regulations on wildlife protection; The confiscated exhibits include more than 10kg of dried wild boar meat, a living Mang (roe deer). Ranger Station No. 9 has sanctioned administrative violations against the subjects. In the first half of May, 2021, the Ranger force of Ranger Station No. 9 discovered and seized more than 33 wire traps of all kinds that are installed in the forest. The Force of Ranger Station No. 9 asked the violators to release wild animals back into the natural environment. Photo: Ngoc Lan According to Deputy Head of Forest Protection Station No. 9, if these traps are not detected and seized in time, forest animals will be at very high risk of being trapped. seriously injured or dead; Many times when the patrolmen also encounter these traps, which are very dangerous… Therefore, in order to promptly prevent activities of encroachment and destruction of forests, especially wild animals, the Ranger Station No. 9 has arranged 3 key positions, stationed at key places, coordinated with patrol activities around the area where objects can be used to hunt and capture animals. In addition, the station also cooperates with officers and soldiers of Se Re Pok Border Station and Dak Lak Border Guard to patrol and protect forests. Not only Ranger Station No. 9, but all 16 Ranger Stations and Mobile Teams of Yok Don National Park must always strengthen the force of stationing, latching and clinging to the forest, especially in the dry season to promptly detect and prevent forest encroachment. The coordination work is also effectively implemented by the Ranger Stations, especially with the Border Guard stations in the forest area of ​​Yok Don National Park. Pham Tuan Linh, Director of Yok Don National Park emphasized: “In order to manage and protect forests in general and protect wildlife in particular, Yok Don National Park has directed the implementation of many drastic measures. synchronously, such as increasing the frequency and density of patrols and secret uniforms of the forest rangers, combining patrolling and secret uniforms with focusing on de-trapping and applying science and technology in the process of performing tasks. . At the same time, promote legal propaganda and education to each population in the buffer zone in order to change the habit of depending on the forest of some people. We also work closely with relevant authorities and local authorities, in which, effectively implement the regulation on coordination with the Dak Lak Border Guard Command, between ranger stations and border guard posts.

Besides being the tourist attraction of Sierra Leone, the turquoise lagoon with palm trees here is also a seasonal breeding ground for fish and turtles. In May, however, the Sierra Leone government announced plans to build a fishing port and processing complex in the village. The project has raised concerns about its devastating effects on the local landscape, threatening animal species and polluting the environment. AFP . Black Johnson is the proposed site for the construction of an industrial harbor in Sierra Leone. Photo: Handout. Consequences of China’s “investment” Sierra Leone’s Fisheries Ministry said China is funding a $55 million project to build a fishing port to create jobs and support the local fishing industry in the poor country. But, instead of winning praise, Beijing’s actions are causing controversy in the African country. Mr. Tommy Gbandewa, also known as Tito, the owner of the eco-lodge, is leading the opposition to the plan to build on green plots. “If the Chinese come here, the environment will stink. The beaches will stink,” he said. “The water here will be dirty because of engine oil and a lot of noise, fishing boats will be everywhere.” This controversy is at the heart of a longstanding source of tension in Sierra Leone, between development advocates and conservationists on the other. Opposition is heightened as the government is looking to promote ecotourism to boost its economy. Eco-lodge owner Tommy Gbandewa is leading the charge against a Chinese-funded harbor construction plan. Photo: AFP. Sierra Leone is one of the world’s poorest countries and is still recovering from a civil war that claimed the lives of about 120,000 people nearly two decades ago. Although there are rich fishing grounds, the exploitation of fishery resources in this country is still limited. Not only that, according to Sierra Leone’s Ministry of Fisheries, in May, there were about 140 foreign fishing boats catching the country’s fish. These ship owners then processed and sold Sierra Leone’s seafood abroad “with little or no benefit to Sierra Leone”. Even so, despite receiving Beijing’s funding to build a modern fishing pier, the ambiguity in the implementation plan made locals wary. Some believe that the Chinese investors intend to build the fishmeal factory, although the government of Sierra Leone has denied the allegation with AFP . In recent times, a series of fishmeal factories have mushroomed along the West African coast. These factories harvest large quantities of seafood and often release foul-smelling waste, polluting water sources, wreaking havoc on the local environment and hindering tourism development. The fishmeal factory emits toxic waste that is a threat to local communities in Sierra Leone. Photo: Handout. Fishermen’s association spokesman Wudie Bakie Koroma said he would support the harbor construction if taken seriously. “If the fishmeal production (factory) is included in the project, we will firmly oppose it,” he stressed. Against this backdrop, the Chinese diplomat in the capital Freetown Du Zijun announced that the new Chinese-invested project is to build a harbor, not a “fishmeal factory”. “The accusations of not caring about protecting the environment and destroying the ecological environment are purely sensational hypothetical information,” he added. “We have a right to the land” Immediately after the news that the government signed a $ 55 million agreement with Beijing for China to build a project on 100 hectares of exposed sea and forest, locals have repeatedly petitioned to reverse the government’s decision. Mr. Tito said discontent was widespread. Government officials arrived with armed men to survey the construction site. “But I’m Sierra Leone and I have a right to the land,” Mr Tito said. In the wake of the controversy, Fisheries Minister Emma Kowa Jalloh, on a recent visit to the Black Johnson village, promised landowners would be compensated. According to the minister, the Chinese government will provide “subsidy” to build the project, while the government of Sierra Leone invests with land. Half of the required land area is owned by the state, the rest will be taken through the decision to acquire. “We are not occupying land,” she said, noting that the project was “very necessary” to create jobs for thousands of people. The new project is expected to be built in the village of Black Johnson. Photo: AFP. However, Dr Sama Banya, honorary president of the Sierra Leone Conservation Society, said the project would have a “catastrophic” impact on tourism and the fishing industry. Environmental NGO Green Scenery accused the government of failing to properly account for the project’s environmental impact and urged the plan to be scrapped. “Black Johnson is the only ecotourism site left in Freetown, we need to protect it,” said organization director Joseph Rahall. However, not all locals are against the harbor planning. Village chief Pa Lamin Kargbo said the port could help improve places where people still face daily shortages of water, electricity and schools. He explained that much of the friction with the government is due to a lack of dialogue. “We are calling for a peaceful resolution of the problem, so that everyone is a winner,” he said.

See how they cook like this, how can’t it be delicious. First is the main ingredient: fish sauce. Ca Mau people are connoisseurs of fish sauce. They are connoisseurs to the extreme of fish sauce, arrogant about fish sauce. Let’s ask them how many people here compliment other countries’ fish sauce? Where they hate to make fish sauce but leave out the sweet sugar and want to die, as sweet as “chè mam”; where they criticize making fish sauce that is mixed and lacks sophistication; where they criticize making fish sauce lacking hearing, not fragrant… So, when people from other countries eat fish sauce, it’s delicious. As for some brothers and sisters from Ca Mau who eat fish sauce from other countries, there are probably not many people who praise it, even if it is for perfunctory praise. They can’t even eat local fish sauce. That’s what life is like! What about them? In order to have a delicious fish sauce hot pot, chefs from U Minh will immediately say they need butterfly sauce.

Bring the pot of water to a boil and then add the fish sauce, gently stir, each fiber of the fish dissolves quickly with the water. After being transformed in a pot of boiling water, the choking fish sauce will immediately smell, and then report the smell of a hot, hot smell.

Some people will feel sorry because cotton and vegetables are so beautiful, they can’t eat. But once you’ve eaten, you can’t put your chopsticks away. If you eat hot pot with fish sauce with U Minh forest vegetables without branches, don’t say eat hot pot with fish sauce.

I understand I have to go Through the deep forest Through the whispering grass Through sunny areas Of the sad desert Through the tundra, the wind is fierce Where dreams are extraordinary I practice walking step by step Together or alone I keep myself breathing For a minute the hand let go I have a couple of appointments With a couple of souls Waiting for each other on the top of the snow Or at the end of the misty cloud I go and I know I don’t go alone There’s another me beside me Of a circle of wisdom Waking up every day We all have to go Even if there are days to lie down Wait for the pain to pass. Comments The poem “Go” by Nguyen Thien Ngan evokes a permanent idea of ​​the human journey. That journey carved the shadow of existence in time. We can visualize the destination as a dream, a wish, a projection. However, no one knows for sure that that destination will always be what they once thought. In the deep forests of the mountains, where the grass whispers, where the wind is burning in the tundra, where the desert burns … there are still many things hidden that you will never know when you leave. Journey makes life. Every moment is an existence. Therefore, the central quartet is “going out” with an extraordinary dream. Maybe, on that journey, we bring an appointment to accompany us, maybe it’s just loneliness with our own shadow. But, no matter what, still have to “go” as the fate of existence. Am I lonely? If unfortunately that is true, then “My side and I are different / Of a circle of wisdom”. The circle of wisdom is a clear awareness in the spirit of the truth of life, of the dream existing in the midst of life. The poem opens deep into the deep journey when the day after tomorrow we unfortunately lie down. Lying down is actually just the start of another journey!

Khanh Hoa newspaper reported, after more than 1 year appearing in Khanh Hoa, Japanese gourd proved to be very suitable and a good choice in the process of crop transformation of farmers.

Part of it is sold to the domestic market, while most of it is exported to Japan and China. Country. Dried gourd fiber is used in cooking. It is expected that the domestic price of dried gourd fiber can reach 1 million VND/kg. Unique style of ‘putting money in a bucket, getting things in a pot’ during Covid-19 Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper reported that, in the face of complicated developments of the Covid-19 epidemic, many home-based small businesses in the 7.2 ha temporary market in Vinh Phuc (Ba Dinh, Hanoi) have devised a way to put food in. The buyer then puts the money in the bucket next to it to limit contact and crowd gathering. People who come here to buy goods must stand behind the barricade, not be in close contact and must keep a minimum distance of 2m. Disinfectant water is placed in front of the door by many home-based small businesses for guests to use. Strange dish ‘crawfish on the tree’ of the people of Lang Speaking of Lang Son cuisine, in addition to humiliation, roast duck, and roast pork, there is also a rustic dish with the taste of the mountains and forests of the Tay and Nung people, but not everyone knows it, which is “forest shrimp”. According to Dan Tri newspaper, this strange dish is delicious, but the price is quite high, about more than 300,000 VND / kg and not always available. “Forest shrimp” clinging to trees. Called “forest shrimp” because this species has a similar shape to shrimp but belongs to the insect family. “Forest shrimp” has a small size, which is as big as an adult’s little finger. This species has locust-like legs, the whole body is gray in color, slightly pale. It is from their strange shape and habit of preferring to live in places with a humid climate, dense trees, or shelter in large tree holes that only exist in the deep forest that people give them a strange name. wild shrimp”. The sticky rice shop has a weird name but the food is absolutely delicious This sticky rice shop has the real name Xoi Man, but most customers call it “sticky rice mortuary”. Explaining the strange name, Mr. Luu Bao Minh, the owner of the sticky rice shop, shared on GiadinhNet: “In the past, the restaurant was located on the corner of Nguyen Tri Phuong and Tran Phu streets, but since moving here, it is located near funeral homes and shops. Selling boxes, funeral services, hospitals, so the restaurant is named like that. The sticky rice shop is a car with a glass cabinet that looks like a bread cart that is often seen on many streets in Saigon. The pot of sticky rice is mounted on a gas stove placed in the car, the sticky rice is always smoky. The shop only sells salty sticky rice. In addition to the main ingredients, which are sticky rice, sausages and cotton balls, there are also onion fat and fried onions to create aroma and round taste. Another plus point is that the shop sprinkles more crushed peanuts, creating a strange taste because salty sticky rice is rarely used by this ingredient. Another interesting thing is the unique way of eating, sticky rice will be wrapped in fresh banana leaves into long rolls like Tet cakes. Where guests eat, tear the banana leaves there, absolutely do not use a spoon. Strangely, banh cuon filled with broth in Cao Bang If the light rolled in many places is just a layer of powder coated, added inside with meat, wood ear dipped with fish sauce, Cao Bang rolls are completely different, served with a bowl of bone broth. Cao Bang people consider banh cuon eaten with bone broth as a specialty, a rustic breakfast gift for generations. When eating, the cake will be submerged in a bowl of soup with a little chili, sour bamboo shoots. Instead of sweet and sour fish sauce, Cao Bang rolls are eaten with clear bone broth with chili and bamboo shoots soaked in honey, so this dish is also known as “banh cuon soup”. This is a way to distinguish it from other regions such as banh cuon Phu Ly (Ha Nam), banh cuon Thanh Tri (Hanoi). The farmer who planted a strange jackfruit seed did not get enough fruit to sell According to Dan Tri newspaper, old farmer Nguyen Minh Trang (70 years old, in Vi Dong commune, Vi Thuy district, Hau Giang province) is known as the “father” of the red-fleshed jackfruit tree in the region. Mr. Trang was the first to bring this strange variety of jackfruit to the locality to plant, and also a seller of jackfruit seeds to his relatives. This type of jackfruit has brick red citrus, sweet taste, both chewy and crispy. On an area of ​​1.5 hectares of jackfruit is being harvested, each month Mr. White can collect up to 4 tons of fruit. Because the price of jackfruit is very high, at 70,000 VND/kg, Mr. White can pocket up to 3 billion VND each year. Ca Xiu – a unique specialty only in Kien Giang Ca Xiu is a unique specialty in Ha Tien (Kien Giang). According to Knowledge and Life, the appearance of ca Xiu is quite similar to bivalve seafood, but also like insects with long and large antennae. Diners, when they see the coffee bean, have a feeling of fear, not daring to touch chopsticks. Ca Xiu is a unique specialty in Ha Tien (Photo: IT) Not only has a fancy shape, this dish also makes people curious about its taste. When catching Ca Xiu, people bring salt similar to the three-knot salt. From salted coffee, people have created many delicious and attractive dishes. Strangely, the market in Yen Bai is priced at 5,000 VND According to the Vietnam Agriculture Newspaper, the “5,000” market is located along Highway 32 from Van Chan to Nghia Lo town, Van Chan district, Yen Bai province. Here, the highlanders sell agricultural products and local products at the price of 5 thousand VND. According to longtime traders, the market has been established for more than ten years. Because it has no name and has not been planned as a people’s market, people and passersby call it a 5,000-dollar market or a one-price market. Market 5 thousand is not only meaningful in terms of commerce but also a cultural address that attracts tourists near and far because of the simple, rustic and genuine human factors here.

Forest patrols With an area of ​​more than 15,000 hectares, Sao La Nature Reserve in Thua Thien-Hue province has a rich flora and fauna, containing a diverse genetic resource of more than 1,200 species of animals and plants. Up to now, the reserve still retains a large area of ​​tropical evergreen closed forest, which is home to many rare species of birds and animals. From the center of the mountainous district of A Luoi, drive on the Ho Chi Minh route to the south about more than 30 km, when going through the tunnel through A Roang mountain, it is a majestic and unspoiled scene of primeval forests. Sao La Conservation Area, Thua Thien – Hue Province. The reserve covers an area of ​​more than 15,000 hectares of natural forest, stretching across the two districts of Nam Dong and A Luoi, directly connected with Sao La Conservation Area in Quang Nam Province and Xe Sap National Reserve in Laos. Sao La Nature Reserve in Thua Thien – Hue province currently has three patrol teams and five forest protection stations, which are regularly mobile to perform forest protection tasks. Following in the footsteps of a five-man patrol team led by Mr. Pham Viet Nuoc, we walked along the slopes, crossing streams under the canopy of old forests straight into the core area of ​​the reserve. This patrol is expected to take about six days to travel, so the backpacks of team members are full of essential equipment and items such as navigators, camera traps, binoculars. , personal items, medicine, pots and pans, food… Sticking with Sao La Nature Reserve in Thua Thien – Hue province from the very beginning, 11 years ago, Mr. Pham Viet Nuoc, a Ta Oi ethnic, set foot in most of the sub-areas in the reserve. this vast expanse. For Mr. Nuoc, the reserve is like his second home, he has the ability to read the names of each big tree in the forest; even a glimpse of a bird singing, he could tell what kind of bird it was. After finding a convenient location by a small stream, the patrol team assigned each other to set up a tent to rest and cook. Pham Viet Nuoc confided that this patrol job requires not only good health, but also forest skills and above all a love of nature to stick with the job. On average, a patrol team will work 22 days a month in the forest, of which 16 days are camping in sub-areas in the reserve. “The mountainous terrain in the reserve is very dangerous, with many dangers lurking for forest protection teams, especially in the rainy season. There are many cases of brothers and sisters with serious and life-threatening injuries due to sudden broken branches on them, biting by poisonous snakes, or in the process of crossing streams, when suddenly the water from upstream suddenly surged. Pham Viet Nuoc shared. Giant Truong Son at Sao La Nature Reserve, Thua Thien-Hue province. Recently, Sao La Conservation Area in Thua Thien – Hue province has contracted with A Luoi District Medical Center (Thua Thien – Hue) and Tay Giang District Medical Center (Quang Nam) to identify 4 rescue locations. fixed along the Ho Chi Minh route through the nature reserve, so that when an injured person comes out from the forest, ambulances will go straight to these locations to give first aid and take people to the hospital for treatment. timely treatment. On the patrol journey, Mr. Pham Viet Nuoc and members of the team stopped at many areas to observe and detect the traps of wild animals of the people to remove and collect. According to Mr. Nuoc, in the past, the number of animal traps that people put in the forest was as much as a “matrix”. Especially near the New Year holidays, people still have the custom of trapping wild animals to eat, that is also the time when patrol teams have to strengthen their duty force. According to the Management Board of Sao La Nature Reserve, Thua Thien – Hue province, from 2014 to 2017, the situation of trapping wild animals in the reserve was really a problem. In some years, the forest patrol force has dismantled more than 21,000 traps of all kinds. In recent years, thanks to the promotion of propaganda combined with the detection of strict handling of violations, the number of animal traps has decreased significantly. Since the beginning of 2021, patrol teams have driven 11 people out of the forest, dismantled 14 illegally built camps and collected more than 1,740 animal traps. After being dismantled, the animal traps will be returned to the stations for destruction according to regulations. Preserving the “treasure” of the green forest Sao La Nature Reserve in Thua Thien – Hue province is one of the places with the highest biodiversity in the region and in the world. This place owns the remaining natural primeval forest area of ​​the Central Truong Son area and is home to rare and endemic animals such as saola, Truong Son muntjac, large muntjac, striped rabbit and many more. other animals and plants. According to the Management Board of Sao La Conservation Area in Thua Thien – Hue province, recent research results show that the reserve currently has 1,035 species of plants, 42 species of mammals, 139 species of birds, 54 species of fish, 84 species of reptiles, frogs, frogs and 284 species of butterflies. In which, many species are listed in the Red Book of Vietnam and the Red Book of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). According to Mr. Pham Viet Nuoc, in recent years, during the patrol process, the number of animals has increased significantly such as chamois, wild boar, deer, zebra rabbit, Truong Son large gill and some species of wild animals. growth such as monkeys, douc langurs… This is a great joy for the tireless efforts of those who are directly involved in forest maintenance and biodiversity conservation here. Mr. Nguyen Huu Hoa, an officer of the Forest Management and Protection Department (the Management Board of Sao La Nature Reserve, Thua Thien – Hue province), said that with the support of technology, especially the application of the camera trap system in the forest is being developed. promote efficiency, effectively support the management and scientific research on the development and distribution of animals in the conservation area. In the past time, the camera traps have provided many valuable documentary images to record the presence of animals and the most important goal of these camera traps is to record the saola in the area. conserve. The saola, whose scientific name is Pseudoryx khetinhensis, also known as the “Asian Unicorn”, is one of the rarest mammals in the world. Monkeys at Sao La Nature Reserve, Thua Thien-Hue province. Director of Sao La Conservation Area Management Board in Thua Thien-Hue Province Nguyen Thanh said: The unit has cooperated with many wildlife protection organizations to research and search for traces of saola species in the reserve. such as placing photo traps at locations where mondo grass grows and develops, because this is a “favorite” dish of saola; collect samples of strange animal feces or take samples of species squeezed in the forest for scientists to conduct tests and find clues… According to Director of the Management Board of Sao La Conservation Area in Thua Thien – Hue Province Nguyen Thanh, located in the same habitat area, in 2013, Sao La Conservation Area in Quang Nam Province recorded a saola by photographing a single individual. shock the scientific research and nature conservation circles at home and abroad. Therefore, officers and staff of Sao La Nature Reserve in Thua Thien – Hue province hope to also discover saola in the reserve in the future. In recent years, Sao La Nature Reserve in Thua Thien – Hue province has invested and equipped many modern machines to help patrol teams improve operational efficiency. Currently, forest protection officers only need to use smartphones to record patrol positions, locations with signs of forest encroachment, encountering animal traps, camps, encountering people entering the forest, etc. When there is a phone signal, this information and image will automatically be updated into the system, serving as the basis for the process of analyzing and processing information at the specialized department of the Management Board. Director of Sao La Conservation Area Management Board in Thua Thien – Hue province shared that the protection of primeval forests in the reserve still faces many difficulties and challenges. For example, the cutting of forest trees still occurs sporadically at some point in time, or the animal traps set up by people in the forest, although significantly reduced in number, have not been completely stopped… Therefore, the Maintaining forest protection patrols is important to minimize the negative impacts of humans on the forest’s ecosystem. The patrol team led by Mr. Pham Viet Nuoc as captain after many days of climbing passes, wading streams, “eating shacks, sleeping in the forest” has completed the task. According to Mr. Pham Viet Nuoc, after each trip, there is one more animal trap removed, by chance encountering wild animals, or simply seeing that the forest has not been violated, which is a joy and motivation for the members of the community. Team members overcome difficulties and dangers to stick with their work, contributing to preserving the “treasure” of the green forest for future generations.

Ho Van Lang in October 2020 when he was still healthy. Photo: Nguyen Ngoc In 1972, panicking after a bomb dropped on his village, Ho Van Thanh (born in 1932) took his eldest son, Ho Van Lang, who was not yet 3 years old, and left the village in Tra Phong commune, Tra Bong district. , Quang Ngai province left in the deep forest to shelter, living separately from the community. For more than 40 years living separately in the deep forest, the two “forest people” only know how to be friends with birds, plants and wild animals. They live in a house like a bird’s nest on the trunk of a big old tree, use dried bark and leaves to cover themselves, and eat fruits, tapioca, corn, and wild vegetables to live. In 2013, local people discovered that the father and son “forest people” should report to the local government to organize a search and bring them back to integrate into the community. During the days when he returned to the village, Mr. Thanh crouched and hugged the nostalgia for the forest until his death. And Ho Van Lang is living with his younger brother’s family, Mr. Ho Van Tri, in a house built by benefactors. “Forest man” far from the forest After 8 years of leaving the deep forest to return to the old village, “forest man” Ho Van Lang gradually became familiar with everything. The 50-year-old man knew how to make a living, take care of himself, and cook for himself every day. Every day, when the sun had not yet risen, Lang carried a basket to the fields as a habit. In the afternoon, he returned home and did not forget to bring a bunch of bananas planted by himself in Tra Nga village, Tra Phong commune to sell to traders. Although, it takes more than 3 hours to walk to and from back. “Forest man” Ho Van Lang was brought back from the deep forest to the community in 2013. Photo: TL Whoever he met, he also smiled. Mr. Lang loves to chat, play with the children and see everyone in the village as a family. Unlike many men in the village, Mr. Lang does not drink alcohol or smoke but is “addicted” to betel nut. In October 2020, during a business trip in the mountains, we accidentally met “forest man” Ho Van Lang. At that time, Mr. Lang was still very healthy. The work of farming and growing agricultural products makes him happy every day. But after more than 7 months of returning, unfortunately, “forest people” no longer go to the forest, but just hang around in the kitchen corner. His eyes are still towards the mountain, but his legs are no longer strong enough to climb the pass, wade the stream. In the late afternoon, Mr. Ho Van Tri, Mr. Lang’s younger brother, sat by the fire, cooking medicine for his brother to drink. The light woven through the bamboo slats into the kitchen, making the green veins visible on the weak hands of the “forest man”. His hand still holds a bag of betel nut, his hobby is making his teeth black. However, the carefree smile of the “forest man” is now gone, replaced by a sigh when the pain strikes. Mr. Ho Van Tri said that, after the Lunar New Year, Mr. Lang felt pain in the abdomen. The pain increases with increasing frequency. All day, he hugged his stomach lying down, his body lost nearly 10 kg, his health was getting worse and worse. Feeling worried, Mr. Tri gathered all the little money he had accumulated to bring Mr. Lang to the city. Quang Ngai medical examination. Doctors diagnosed Mr. Lang with liver cancer. For Mr. Lang, liver cancer is simply pain in the abdomen. But for Mr. Tri, he knew it was a cruel disease, causing people to face death. However, in order to be more certain about Mr. Lang’s condition, Mr. Tri took his brother to Da Nang for a check-up. Here, the doctors have the same diagnosis as in Quang Ngai. Mr. Tri quietly took Mr. Lang home to take care of him. Since then, Mr. Lang only knows how to hang around the house, his eyes looking towards the mountain, no one knows what the “forest man” is thinking in the bottom of his heart. In the corner of the kitchen, “forest man” Ho Van Lang sighed softly when the pain hit. Mr. Lang knows pain, but he doesn’t know what cancer is? All worries now weigh on the shoulders of younger brother Ho Van Tri. Dear quartet Leaving the old forest, it seemed that life had turned to a new turning point, but fate still pushed the “forest man” into twists and turns like it used to push him into the path between the mountains and the forest and lived with his father for 40 years. continuously. In 2017, Mr. Ho Van Thanh, Lang’s father passed away, he received the pain with sad eyes. He tried so hard to forget, but now he is burdened with the terrible liver cancer that is tearing his body every day. Mr. Ho Van Lang still suffers from the pain of knitting agricultural tools to earn a living. Photo: Nguyen Ngoc Tra Nga village is very sunny this season. In the afternoon, the sun was dim again, the rain was about to pour. The weather in the mountainous region changes rapidly and is far from the plain. The same is true of Lang’s treatment. His brother’s cancer is being treated by Mr. Tri by “bowing to the four directions”. Not having enough money for Western medicine treatment, Mr. Tri once took Mr. Lang over 90 km to find a Oriental medicine doctor in Binh Son district. However, what drugs are enough to prevent disease? Even more pain came. “Forest man” hugs his stomach, crouching… Mr. Tri can only rely on his ancestors to go to the forest to find herbs, mainly apricots, to cook for his brother to relieve pain. “Since Lang got sick, I have offered nearly 10 times, 8 chickens each time. The cost is up to nearly 20 million VND. The house did not have money, I borrowed the shopkeepers in the neighborhood and then sold bananas, rattan trees … to reduce debt, “said Mr. Tri. Many times looking at his brother in pain, Tri felt heartbroken but didn’t know what to do. He also finds it difficult to understand because Mr. Lang has lived almost half of his life in the forest, why is he suffering from a serious disease at this time. “Fortunately, Mr. Lang is quite optimistic when he cannot understand the cancer he is suffering. Every time the pain eases, Mr. Lang sits and weaves baskets and nia with forest fibers and sells them to people in the village. Even though I told him to rest, Mr. Lang still didn’t stop working,” Mr. Tri said. Now, Mr. Tri just wants to have more money, feed his brother delicious meals, and enjoy life with the rest of the meager days. That idyllic wish seems difficult when looking in the corner of the kitchen, there is nothing but plants cooked for “forest people” to drink every day. Mr. Lang has cancer, Mr. Tri only knows how to cling to the forest to earn money to take care of him and his family members. But now, Mr. Tri is also suffering from a serious stomach disease. With many difficulties, he clings to the house of gratitude that many people contributed to build for Mr. Lang when he returned from the forest. Now, only miracles can help Lang recover from his illness. The “Forest Man” has stopped going to the forest, an uncertain future awaits him, although the village road is still much wider and straighter than the mountain trails that have been associated with Mr. Lang for more than half of his life. Mr. Dang Minh Thao, Secretary of Tra Bong District Party Committee, said that the District Party Committee had just coordinated with mass organizations to visit and give 3.7 million VND to support Mr. Ho Van Lang. Mr. Ho Van Lang’s family is extremely difficult, and his health is very weak. The District Party Committee is calling for organizations and individuals to support Mr. Lang’s family. In addition, he also directed local authorities to monitor health developments and provide maximum support for Mr. Lang.

Mangrove forest in Dong Rui commune has just been restored. The sky began to recede, the tide receded into the sandy beach. Nguyen Thi Phuong and many people in Ha hamlet, Dong Rui commune carried hoe down to Bay Mau hill to dig deep soil (also known as sea worms). The hills are locally called but are actually newly restored mangrove forests running along the commune’s dike. In order to catch earthworms, Ms. Phuong bends down and always has to observe, look for extrusions and then quickly dig up the correct strokes. In just a moment, Ms. Phuong’s basket was full of large earthworms…. In every waking season, the commune’s mangrove forest is always an address for people in Dong Rui commune to make a living, especially since the time when they wake up. outbreak of Covid-19 to date. Phuong said: “In the past, these lagoons were covered, the tiger trees and parrots died without any children. Now there are worms, clams, twilight, stilts. On these trees, snails turn out, clinging to the tree to live. As long as there is a tree, there is life, and if you go to the sea, you can make a living. From the elderly to children, most of them make their living from the sea. Students also earn 100,000-150,000 VND every day. Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong from Ha village digs earthworms at Bay Mau hill, Dong Rui commune. Far away from where Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong digs deep into the ground are primeval mangrove forests with black tiger trees, parrots, and mammoth trees that are too high for a person’s head, spreading like raspberries in the shadow of the water. To go to these forests, you have to wait for the water to grow and travel by bamboo boat to reach the tiger trees and parrots that have a lifespan of more than a hundred years. Mr. Nong Van Chien, a resident of Tien Yen said: “In the period of 2010, there was no gas at that time, fuel was limited. People go to the forest to chop down for fuel. In 2013, there was a movement to make shrimp ponds. Everywhere they see zoning, they clear many hectares of forest to make shrimp ponds. Then they realized because the forest was cut down and then due to waves, storms and wind, it greatly affected people’s lives.” After the damage caused by widespread deforestation, new planting projects to fill in the cleared area have been promoted by NGOs and sectors at all levels, increasing the vitality of Dong Rui mangrove forest. . After a while, the vegetation has revived, rising steadily. Under the tree are green fishes, the wider the crabs, the symbiotic snails like affirming the intense vitality of the plants on the mangroves. To protect this forest area, a mangrove management team of Dong Rui commune was established with 3 people, who are responsible for coordinating with forest rangers to patrol, control and remind people to protect the forest. Mr. Hoang Van Thong (62 years old), Leader of the Mangrove Self-Management Group in Dong Rui Commune, said that people now realize the economic values ​​and voluntarily participate in mangrove protection. Under the tree are green fishes, the wider the crabs, the more symbiotic and growing snails. “The three of us regularly check and wade deep into the forest to see if there is any change in the status quo? There is also a lot of reforestation. Since then, people’s awareness has been raised and they know that protecting forests is protecting aquatic resources, especially when being propagated. People here are encouraged to plant forests, they really like it. Many times when they go to the forest, they see newly planted trees leaning against them, “said Thong. Dong Rui is considered one of the most beautiful mangrove forests in the North today with nearly 3,000 hectares, accounting for more than half of the commune’s natural land area. Since being managed and protected closely, the forest is green and lush, resulting in more and more diverse and rich seafood resources. Many households here have a stable income by fishing in the mangroves. The mangrove ecosystem of Dong Rui commune is very diverse and rich in the number of tree species, the ecosystem, and the aquatic species with high economic value such as crabs, crabs, and fish species that bring profit. and good livelihood for the people. Mr. Loc Van Sinh, Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman of the Commune People’s Committee said that the management of the commune is less difficult than before because there are people in the community. Dong Rui Crab “In the last two years, the commune has planted 25-30 hectares of new mangrove forests to develop mangrove forests in the area. The important role of mangroves has been recognized, both protecting the national breakwater and having aquatic resources. products under the forest canopy to give people a daily income. In order to soon develop the mangroves in the future, it is suggested that the province and the authorities arrange funding sources for the self-managing groups to operate in the future.” Mr. Sinh information. The practical lesson of the negative impacts of mangrove destruction has led people and local authorities in Quang Ninh province to change their awareness and join hands to plant and protect mangroves. The young people of Dong Rui commune now have many new options such as working as workers, opening trading services, but most people in Dong Rui island commune still cling to the sea, cultivate seafood, and stick to mangroves to stay alive. subsistence. The wealth of mangroves is helping the people of Dong Rui change their lives and realize the vital values ​​​​if they work together to “symbiotically” protect the “green lungs” on the island.

Veraverbeke, an Earth scientist at Vrije University in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, said the satellite had captured images of “zombie fires” – which are remnants of a great fire from the previous year. When people thought they had handled the fire, they still “survived” silently underground for a whole year, waiting through the winter to flare up again. Zombie fires have broken out many times over the past decades and tend to happen more and more often. (Photo: National Geographic) Zombie fires have broken out many times over the past decades and tend to happen more and more often. Mr. Veraverbeke’s team found that their occurrence is strongly linked to climate change. The fact that the summer is getting hotter and longer with a series of large fires increases the rate of spawning zombie fires. The proliferation of these “zombies” shows that the Arctic is changing rapidly under the influence of climate, and is a warning bell for more serious disasters in the future. The fact that the summer is getting hotter and longer with a series of large fires increases the rate of spawning zombie fires. (Image: Getty Images) Hibernation in peat More than 16,187 square kilometers of the Arctic is covered with peat, which stores an estimated 415 billion tons of carbon, equal to the total amount of carbon found in all trees on Earth. As summer approaches, fires formed by lightning strikes or humans will burn directly above the peat above ground. “ These are ancient soils. Peat in Siberia is really very old ,” said Jessica McCarty, an Arctic scientist at the University of Miami, Ohio. Once peat is ignited, they can provide a medium for a fire to smolder underground long after the surface fire is extinguished. Fires sustained by peat can burn for days, weeks, months, even years. When the right time comes, they will once again flare up into great fires, like undead zombies. “ Peat has everything a fire needs to sustain itself. Fires can burn quite strong enough to last through the winter. They’ll essentially ‘hibernate’ until next spring, when the snow melts and gives a chance for fires to flare up in the ground.” , said researcher Rebecca Scholten from VU Amsterdam. Once peat is ignited, they can provide a medium for a long smoldering underground fire. (Photo: Sentinel Hub) What’s different about fire in the Arctic? From 2000 to 2010, fires consumed more than 50% of the Arctic every year. Over the next 10 years, the annual fire area continued to increase, especially in Alaska. Through the data, scientists found that the current frequency of fires in the Arctic is the highest since the first forest formed in this area about 3,000 years ago, maybe even the highest in 10,000 years. by. Wildfires in the Arctic produce more carbon than places like California or Europe, because the subsoil under high-latitude forests is often made up of old, carbon-rich peat. In 2020, the Arctic fires released nearly 250 megatons of carbon dioxide, about half the carbon emitted by humans in a year in Australia and about 2.5 times more than the record-breaking 2020 bushfires. in California. Climate Change Zombie fires have long been known to experts. In 1941, a man-made fire along a railroad in Alaska consumed almost everything within a 1,600 square kilometer radius around it. By May 1942, the fire “revived” and burned about 1,200 square kilometers. But scientists haven’t been able to determine whether these zombie fires are well documented, or if they occur more frequently as the Arctic climate warms rapidly. They think the second case is very likely. “ We’ll definitely see more of them (zombie fires) based on what I’ve seen in 30 years of observation and consultation (other experts) ,” said Randi Jandt, a fire ecologist at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. Jandt cited the great fire that burned more than 10,000 square kilometers in Alaska in 2019. Fire crews had to work around the clock to prevent the fire from spreading. But when they thought the disaster was over, the fire flared up again the following spring, just as the snow had melted. “ Just now you observe that the area is completely white of snow, but only two days later, the fire suddenly broke out in that very place. ,” said Mark Parrington, a researcher at the Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service, describing the 2020 zombie fire in Alaska. Mr. Parrington said the frequency of fires in recent years in Alaska, Siberia and northern Canada have all increased sharply. “ In the past, firefighting in the Arctic didn’t get much attention because fires were rare, but that’s changing rapidly.” , said researcher Parrington. Wildfires in the Arctic produce more carbon than places like California or Europe. (Photo: Esquire Middle East) Another concern is how many zombie fires are buried underground, waiting to create a new disaster. Scientists say underground fires in the underground peat layer grow very slowly, only about 100 times faster than hair, so the possibility that fires from many years are still accumulating under the ground can be ruled out. land. Therefore, researchers only study fires in the past year. However, the increasing severity of fires shows that climate change is making the situation worse. The hot summer produces large fires that burn until the end of the season, and remnants of those are more likely to last through the winter. In the North West of the Arctic, zombie fires typically flare up every six of the hottest summers. In the summer of the cooler years, no zombie fire will make it through the next winter. “ There is a clear relationship between zombie fires and high temperatures and fire zones. That relationship pattern is only likely to intensify for the worse in the future, as climate change increases the likelihood of fires in the Arctic. “, said scientist Scholten.

Huy picked up jackfruit seeds, rambutan seeds, and mango seeds, put them in a plastic bag, and went to the corner of the yard. Contrary to popular belief, it did not put it in the trash, but carefully tied the bag and put it close to the lemon tree, where there was shade and moisture from the faucet the whole family used to wash hands and feet when coming home from work. – Why did you leave it without putting it in the trash? – Yes. Leave it there, I’ll take it later. Later, when the whole family took a nap, Huy took the book out and laid it on a cloth hammock tied under the acorn tree in the corner of the yard, a memento of the time when he was in the army. The afternoon was strangely quiet, only occasionally heard the sound of the wind blowing the flags planted on the side of the road. Huy turned each page of the book, reading attentively. When his father’s car took the whole family to the supermarket to buy things, Huy looked out of the window. – Daddy! Stop the car! – Stop the car for what? How are you?” – Dad, just stop for me! Mr. Tam pulled the car over to the side of the road. Huy put his hands on his stomach and stooped down. It says quickly: – I’m waiting for you! I go to the other side! Looking in the direction it pointed, Mr. Tam was a bit bewildered. – You go to the forest? What are you doing? – No… He pulled his hand close to his body, crossed the road and came to the place where the B40 wire fence circled around the city parkland. Huy heard from his father that this forest has existed since the city was founded. The area of ​​​​a few dozen hectares of land with some remaining forest trees is located in the center of the city. Ba Huy is an employee of the Provincial Urban Environment Company and together with other uncles and aunts protect and take care of this forest. Since Huy went to kindergarten, every time he went to school, his father drove him here. Coming from the sunny road, people will feel cool because the sunlight has to filter through the canopy of large mother-of-pearl rows by the roadside. At noon, the sun was so intense that the dark green leaves were shining as if they were about to fall. But under that tree, the air is still cool, and people’s eyes are also less dazzling. Ba Huy and the aunts and uncles in the team still often water the trees, fertilize and guard the forest. As a result, plants grow very quickly. Once, Huy asked to follow his father to wade into the forest, but his mother did not allow him to follow him because he was afraid that the grass would cause itching and “make him tripped up”. Only at the beginning of last year, the city began to rebuild the gate and renovate the amusement park, preparing it for visitors. When he passed by, Huy liked that his father walked slowly so that he could see the green trees. It kept imagining that in that forest there would be squirrels, rabbits… living. Then maybe in it there will be a murmuring stream with schools of fish swimming around. Huy collected the bag in his hand and climbed through the fence of B40 net. It looked around. Here it is. Between the two rows of trees, there is a trench in the ground that people make an incision. Probably to sprinkle the plants with compost. He picked up a dry branch, poked a few small holes, and put the seeds in the bag. Hearing the car horn, he threw the remaining seeds into the trench, picked up some hay, and then crawled through the fence to get out. – You want to be a planter? Dad asked with a funny voice. It was a bit unexpected. How do you know it buried tree seeds? – Mom told dad. Huy’s mother spoke confidently when she met his questioning eyes. – When I saw you holding a bag of seeds, I guessed it. – Yes. He spoke softly and looked at his mother with grateful eyes. Whenever he did something wrong, his mother would gently remind him. Dad is always strict. It’s so tight that sometimes it’s confused not knowing if I did what my father said or not. Also, my father used to make fun of it. Therefore, he did not dare to tell his father about the fact that he buried the bag of tree nuts in the forest. This idea came to him with a group of uncles and aunts in the project of rural book chemistry, and then “Journey across Vietnam books and trees” to donate to the library a secondary school in a remote district. The leader of the group (heard to be a very good doctor) said that every time you eat a fruit, you should throw the seeds into the fields along the stream, along the hill, along the road to the field… Who knows, tomorrow will grow a tree and the forest will grow. flourished from there. His words reminded him of the woods where his father worked. Once during extracurricular time, the teacher in charge showed a video of the city seen from above. Between the rows of high-rise buildings is a beautiful green forest. So it kept smoldering in my head, I would collect tree seeds to plant in it. It dreamed that one day the tree that grew from the seed it sowed would grow. It will go there to visit and take pictures for souvenir. – Oh, so cool! A small voice right next to my ear. It awakens. – Did you just plant seeds? Why not let me plant together! What are you laughing at? Still smiling, he put his arm around her shoulder and gently: – Yeah, I planted the seeds. Tomorrow, the forest will add more trees for more shade. Next time you let Ut plant together. – Enjoy, like! Then a few days later I came to see how the seeds grow, Mr. Hai hen! Remember to take us in, Dad! – Yeah! His father laughed and said. Mother put her arm around the shoulders of the two brothers. Dad glanced at his mother. The two looked at each other with sparkling eyes. His father turned on the music player button. “Forest! I’m back …” – the clear, cheerful melodies softly sounded… . Bich Thiem’s ​​short story

Le Thi Duyen accidentally discovered the green space at Children’s House in Ho Chi Minh City when she went to an event with her friends. Duyen said that behind the Children’s House is a French villa, surrounded by trees. In the campus, phoenix flowers bloom as red as summer fire, along with porcelain flower branches adorning the ancient space. “I didn’t expect this place to have a whole garden with cool paths, a few potted plants that weren’t pruned much, so it looked natural. There are even banana bushes like in the countryside, sending photos to friends who don’t believe it is in District 3,” Duyen said. So, the 27-year-old nature-loving girl has more places to visit. Green spaces like these are easy to find in the city Not only Children’s House, Ho Chi Minh City also has many places for young people to relax their minds in green space. Working in District 1, in the afternoon after work, Tran Thanh Tu (30 years old, living in District 4) tried to visit Tao Dan park on Truong Dinh street. “Around 5 o’clock, the afternoon sun scattered on the treetops was very beautiful. I bought a loaf of bread, sat on a stone bench and ate it, and walked around. In the past, I never tried to do that, always dragged my friends to the barbecue restaurant or went home to surf the phone,” Thanh Tu said. According to Thanh Tu, another great place to stroll is the Reunification Hall. Coming here, young people can both visit and learn about the architecture and history of the palace, while walking in the campus. “For those of you who like to take pictures, this place also has many interesting shooting angles, such as the fountain area, and the library room window looking out like you are in Da Lat,” Thanh Tu shared. There are many other places where young people in the city can enjoy green. According to some explorers, many people often think that Saigon Zoo and Botanical Garden is nothing “monumental”. But all week you have been sitting in the air-conditioned room, not knowing what nature is but the tiny potted plants on the desk. So, with just 60,000 dong for a ticket, young people can walk under a giant tree hundreds of years old. There are many interesting things here, including an agricultural orchard that grows corn and rice and a cottage. Green journey of the day Luu Thi Kim Thoa’s group of friends (33 years old, living in Tan Phu district) enjoys traveling by day trips right in the city. Thoa said: “We went to Can Gio not to swim, but to temporarily stay away from the dust. The group has gone 5-6 times already, just as fun as other places. What I like most is that this place is not many tourists, everything is very rustic.” Last time, Thoa’s group was very excited when they discovered that on the way to Can Thanh town, there was a restaurant with a large yellow scorpion tree in full bloom. “We dropped in right away. The tree bloomed so much that it fell into a carpet, everyone looked at it closely. The owner also made a swing for guests to take pictures with the mangroves behind. Not only this restaurant, but on the way, the group also “adventures” with the green forest on both sides, watching the dense vines that look like elephant tusks, or stopping by the quiet green bridges jar. Friend Le Thi Duyen also suggested a simpler journey. Last weekend, Duyen and a few friends rode motorbikes from An Suong intersection (District 12) to Song Hanh Street, Highway 22 and decided to explore this area instead of going to Cu Chi. On both sides of the road, there are still empty fields, there are makeshift pubs right under the field trails. Duyen’s group ordered fresh coconut 20,000 VND/fruit and sat down to enjoy the cool breeze, “eight” stories to delight. “You can go to some small streets, visit a net house to grow vegetables, then try eating fish porridge with melaleuca mushrooms and some dishes like pancakes, beef with guise… both cheap and delicious. On high wind days, it is said that people also bring kites to fly,” Duyen said. Ho Chi Minh City has many other green spaces, which just need young people to spend a little time. On Facebook groups about content to explore the city, young people can also find suggestions about green places: Ao Dai Museum, Thao Dien area (Thu Duc city), Cu Chi tunnels… If one day If you soon get bored or miss the trees, don’t forget to put on your sneakers and go to one of the places mentioned above. The Japanese have the art of forest bathing. No idea that being immersed in nature can help heal the mind and body. If you can’t go to the forest, young people can find a green space for their soul to relax. As long as your body and mind are relaxed, you will be wise to live more happily, then you have more or less “bathed in the forest”.

With dozens of years old, Nga Son mangrove trees are quite thick, 5-7m high, the sour cork trees are even higher than 10m. With Mr. Mai Van Cong, Secretary of the Party Committee of Nga Thuy commune (Nga Son) and some local people, we went down the mangrove forest which was full of life. Although I have returned to this “green wall” nearly a dozen times, each time I come here, I have more interesting experiences. Standing on the sea dyke adjacent to the mouth of the Len River, zooming in on the green color, the end of the forest cannot be seen with the naked eye. According to research, the length of this coastal mangrove forest is more than 5 km, extending through the coastal area of ​​Nga Tan, Nga Thuy, Nga Tien, and Nga Thai communes. The deeper you go into the forest, a cool air spreads. The forest is a “crowded” of swamp plants, such as: cork, mangrove, tiger, parrot, creating a mutual plant population, resisting the harshness of storms and tidal waves. The forest trees here are on average 5 to 7 m high, many cork oak trees are about 10 m high. From the shaggy trunks, sprouted a dense root system like millions of arms embracing the marshy ground. Under the trees, when the tide recedes, all kinds of crabs, fishes, goby fish… fences and runs away when they see people’s shadows. That is to see, the “green lung” at this Nga Son estuary is an important habitat for aquatic species to grow and develop. This place is considered desolate, quite far from these residential areas, it is also the shelter and feeding place of many migratory birds, especially white storks and many native birds. Formerly deputy director of the Agriculture and Rural Development Department of Nga Son district, who was assigned to monitor and manage the district’s mangrove forests, Mr. Mai Van Cong knows quite well the development history of each area of ​​the forest. According to him, with 450 hectares of coastal wetlands, from 1995 to 1996, Nga Son district was supported to plant mangroves under the sponsorship program of the Vietnam Red Cross. In the years 2005 – 2006, the forest continued to be intercropped and expanded by the Government’s new project of 5 million hectares of forest. According to management data of the District Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the area of ​​Nga Son mangrove forest is 347 hectares, of which Nga Thuy commune has 290 hectares. Currently, there are more than 20 local households in the district contracted to protect each forest area, so the conservation of the mangrove forest is quite good. When we came here, it was also the season when the mangrove trees were in bloom. According to local people, from April to July every year, the color of the flowers of tiger, parrot, cork, and mangrove species cover the whole forest. This is also the time, hundreds of households in the area bring tens of thousands of honey bee colonies to the forest edge to take advantage of the huge source of flowers. Honey from mangrove flowers has a characteristic aroma, light sweetness, and is loved by many people. Through each flowering season, the fruits of forest trees continue to fall into the swamp, many young buds and buds bloom, continue to grow and expand to the surrounding areas. The roots continue to deepen, creating a strong tree position, playing the role of preventing wind and waves, and protecting the safety of the dike. Inside the forest, the brackish water aquaculture area is considered the second largest in Thanh Hoa province, which is protected from storms and high tides. Well-preserved, Nga Son mangrove forest is considered to have the largest biomass in Thanh Hoa today with a system of mature trees that are decades old. The forest has been covered with a permanent green color, in addition to protecting the ecological environment, it also creates many livelihoods for residents around the area.

Nestled in the forest of Kazan, a city in southwestern Russia, the house is about 100 square meters. In terms of structure, this house is a DublDom prefab house, also known as a Modular prefab (Prefab Cabin), designed by Moscow-based architecture firm Bio Architects. The project to build this house was carried out in 2016 with the chief architect being Ivan Ovchinnikov. In addition, the house uses materials from famous brands such as: Knauf, VELUX, Thorma, Ikea. What makes prefab homes special is the reduction in construction costs by using materials such as: Metal, raw wood planks and glass. These materials are not only cheap but also contribute to the modern and glossy beauty of the house. The DublDom line of houses uses modular components that are assembled together, allowing for quick construction, after completion ranging from 26 m2 to 130 m2 and prices ranging from 2,300 USD and 100,000 USD. Specifically, the eight-room house here, priced at $80,000 to complete, was designed and built for a family who had tried out a 40-square-foot DublDom prefab a year earlier. Thanks to large skylights, exposed glass walls and columns, the house receives a lot of natural light and the entire interior is made of whitewashed monolithic pine, making you feel like you are living in harmony with nature. nature. Although this house is currently in Russia, the construction company is taking orders for foreign countries, first in the US. The house is located in the middle of the forest with open space, in harmony with nature. The house is beautiful and sparkling at night.

Vietnam is valued as one of the world’s leading biodiversity countries In the face of a decline in biodiversity, the United Nations’ Biodiversity Commission (IPBES) has warned future pandemics will occur more often, kill more people and damage even worse. without a fundamental change in human behavior towards nature. Loss of biodiversity seriously affects people In fact, the use of natural resources for development activities has made ecosystems around the world degraded. Along with environmental pollution, biodiversity loss of ecological balance, climate change leads to serious health consequences, especially the recent epidemic situation, which profoundly affects the economy. global society. Thereby forcing people to recognize and raise their awareness of their actions with nature and with our own living environment. As we know biodiversity is important to humans, providing 18 basic services globally to sustain human activities and development. However, according to the assessment report on Biodiversity and Global Ecosystem Services of the Intergovernmental Forum on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES Report), the ratio of forest cover per globally, coral reef ecosystems have the highest decline in survival index and 25% of the species studied are threatened with extinction; Many species groups are assessed as highly threatened with extinction, in which the group with the highest percentage of species at risk of extinction are amphibians, mammals, birds, reptiles and fish. Besides, 3/4 of the land area on Earth has been seriously degraded due to human activities. Human impacts include unsustainable exploitation of the environment through deforestation, agricultural expansion, wildlife trade and consumption. These activities put people in increasingly close contact with wild and domestic animals, as well as the diseases they harbor. Accordingly, up to 850,000 viruses like the new strain of corona virus, exist in animals and can infect humans. Habitat destruction and insatiable consumption have made zoonotic diseases more likely to spread to humans in the future. Science has also shown that loss of biodiversity can promote disease transmission from animals to humans – on the other hand, if we keep biodiversity intact, it provides excellent tools to fight pandemics. As with diseases caused by corona viruses, US scientists found that about 75% of the intermediate hosts of many disease-causing viruses are primates, bats and mice. In 2020, a study investigating SARS-CoV-2 infection from 16 ferret farms in the Netherlands, was presented at the ESCMID Conference on Coronavirus Related Diseases held online from 23-25. -9, indicating that the virus is capable of infecting humans and ferrets and vice versa. And in fact, in Vietnam, there are also emerging serious and zoonotic diseases with the potential to develop into a pandemic. In recent years, Vietnam has been affected by SARS, avian influenza type A (H5N1), influenza A (H5N6) and pandemic influenza A (H1N1)… Therefore, in recent years, ministries, branches and localities need to strengthen activities to control wildlife trade and exploit migratory wild species according to Directive No. 29/CT-TTg of the Prime Minister Government on some urgent solutions for wildlife management and related guiding and operating documents; manage and control invasive alien species; restore degraded ecosystems; protect the natural landscape and biodiversity. As such, “Human activities cause climate change and biodiversity loss, and lead to the risk of pandemics due to the impact on the environment. Changes in land use; agricultural expansion and intensification; Unsustainable trade, production and consumption have damaged nature and increased contact between wildlife, domestic animals, pathogens and humans. This is the path to the pandemic.” According to Dr. Peter Daszak, President of the EcoHealth Alliance emphasized. Join hands to conserve biodiversity Pano propaganda on International Day of Biodiversity May 22 22 Currently, in Vietnam, the Government, the Prime Minister and all ministries and branches are interested in sustainable development, green economy, harmony, and nature. That is one of the factors that ensure 50% success in our journey to save biodiversity in Vietnam. And Vietnamese people have also realized their great responsibility in nature conservation, reducing the demand for wildlife consumption, and environmentally responsible consumption. This is a very favorable factor, the opportunity for Vietnam to not be lost on the world biodiversity map. The theme of the International Day of Biodiversity 2021 is “We’re part of the solution – For Nature”, selected and launched by the United Nations on a global scale. With the aim of raising public awareness of biodiversity, science has proven that biodiversity is the foundation of economy, food security, livelihoods and human health. join hands of the whole society to preserve nature and biodiversity – that is to protect our own life on earth. In response to the International Day of Biodiversity, in 2021, recently, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has sent a written request to the central ministries, departments, branches and mass organizations; People’s Committees of provinces and centrally run cities; socio-political organizations, mass organizations; Associations, corporations, enterprises and related units are interested in, directing, guiding and coordinating in organizing response activities. According to Mr. Le Cong Thanh – Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, “Vietnam is also protecting and conserving biodiversity with many policies and measures such as environmental impact assessment, integration of Objectives require the protection and conservation of nature and biodiversity in the planning strategies, socio-economic development programs from the central to local levels. Zoning and establishing conservation areas for endangered species with genetic resources of plant varieties, domestic animals and wild species, restoring forest ecology, coral reef ecosystems, sea palm trees. Planting green and greening bare land and bare hills. Then plant trees in urban areas, industrial parks, traffic routes and have very encouraging results.” Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic around the world, the International Day of Biodiversity 2021 will be celebrated through an online campaign. And the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment proposed to implement synchronously strategies, projects, tasks and solutions on research and application of nature-based solutions, approaching ecosystems in the process of building formulation of national, regional and provincial plannings; establishment and effective management of nature reserves; promote the implementation of conservation and sustainable use models; apply the ecosystem approach in integrated management of coastal zones, river basins, sustainable forest management, focusing on the role and interests of the community. As we all know, Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Tran Hong Ha once said that: “Biodiversity conservation is an ethical issue”. That further shows that the relationship between humans and the natural environment is not only the morality between people but also our own responsibility and morality with nature. Making each of us need to better understand our responsibilities when life needs a clean environment to live, needs clean food to eat but destroys nature by human hands. Therefore, once again, it is necessary to recognize and be more aware of how to respect and harmonize people with “mother nature” – only then all pandemics and natural disasters will limit the occurrence of people in the future. . Le Cong Thanh – Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment in response to the International Day of Biodiversity: “Nature conservation, biodiversity conservation is the responsibility of each of us, practical actions are to plant more trees, say no to consuming wild animals, and actively protect rare and precious animals and plants. It is practical concrete action, small action, great meaning. Each person takes an action to spread and join hands to protect the environment. Protect life on our planet” “The health of people and ecosystems is increasingly connected. As humans encroach on nature and deplete vital habitats, the risks associated with disease are also increasing. Loss of biodiversity poses a threat to all aspects of life, including human health. In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic still raging, let’s each contribute to protecting biodiversity to prevent future pandemics. Mr. António Guterres, Secretary General of the United Nations

Welcome to the hotel of dinosaur robots. (Photo: Internet) The check-in process of visitors is easy when the two unique dinosaur receptionists at Henn na Hotel can speak 4 foreign languages: Japanese, English, Chinese and even Korean Country. Thanks to the tablet system, you can completely choose the method of communication with these interesting employees without having to worry about the language barrier. Coming here, you will experience the feeling of “interacting” with the robot dinosaurs. (Photo: Internet) More specifically, these two employees are also able to communicate using “body language” thanks to their long clawed hands and simple pre-programmed sentences. Passengers proceed to check-in with the “help” of the dinosaurs. (Photo: Internet) The hotel’s robots and management systems were designed by Kawazoe Lab, the Institute of Industrial Sciences at the University of Tokyo, and construction company Kajima. According to the hotel managers, the service robots here are very friendly and operate extremely efficiently. These dinosaurs are very friendly! (Photo: Internet) Not only stopping at the front desk, the interesting and uniqueness is still waiting for visitors when they come to the room. In each room, in addition to the necessary equipment that every hotel has, at Henn na Hotel, there are also small robot staffs that assist guests with everything from changing TV channels to turning on music. Inside a room at the Henn na Hotel. (Photo: Internet) Besides, this place is also equipped with many other modern technologies, such as not needing a key but using facial recognition to open the room door. Each room has sensors to control the lighting system, if no one is in the room, it will be controlled to turn off automatically. The space of the hotel is also designed in the style of “jungle” with different large and small dinosaurs. (Photo: Internet) Although most of the work is done by robots, the Henn na Hotel still has operators behind, especially the security department. Accordingly, security staff will monitor the hotel through the camera system to ensure the safety of guests as well as prevent the risk of expensive robots being stolen. These people also help with technical problems in the robots, if any. One of the branches of the Henn na Hotel. (Photo: Internet) In addition, housekeeping is a step that robots cannot do, so it also requires human hands. It is known that the price of staying at Henn na Hotel is about 9,000 yen ($72) per double room, much cheaper than other hotels of the same class.

This is one of the deadliest accidents in Chinese sports history. The incident caused public outrage because of the poor management of the Baiyin city government. Rescuers had to walk up the mountainside to search for victims. Photo: Xinhua News Agency. Terrible moment The athletes departed on the morning of May 22 from the Yellow River Stone Forest Park, Baiyin City. This is an annual event organized by the authorities of Canh Thai district and Bach Ngan city to develop rural areas and promote healthy lifestyles. Nearly 10,000 people registered for this year’s event. Participants are divided into three categories: beginner, 21 km cross country and 100 km cross country. The bad weather occurred around 1 p.m., when the runners climbed 2,000 meters in the 20-31 km stage of the race, according to Xinhua News Agency. Participating athletes wear only shorts and t-shirts. Therefore, these people have little ability to protect the body from the low temperature of the surrounding environment. When witnessing some athletes having trouble, the organizers canceled the event and deployed rescue. At that time, some people had hypothermia. Some others passed out from being too cold. A total of 21 people were killed and 151 were rescued. In an interview with SCMP , one survivor said there was no forecast of severe weather. The cold also exacerbates the challenges of the mountainous terrain. The athletes departed on the morning of May 22. Photo: Weibo/Xinhua News Agency. This person said he still tries to run when the weather turns bad. On the way, he witnessed people fall one by one, even experienced athletes. Before the contest started, the organizers asked each person to contribute 1,600 yuan (US$248) to register. That’s when he decided to join. “Now, every time I recall that thought, I just want to slap myself,” he wrote in a social media post. He said that in one part of the competition, the contestants had to run uphill for a distance of 8 km. The road surface is covered with rocks and mud while the sky is cloudy, strong winds, heavy rain and limited visibility. “From this point on, there is only one way up, no one down. Motorcycles can’t get on that road, so there’s no food or water,” he wrote. “I was completely drenched and could barely stand. I tried to find a hiding spot and tried to warm myself up with a flimsy thermal blanket, but was immediately blown away by the wind. I saw other people’s blankets torn to pieces by the wind.” Another athlete said he couldn’t feel his fingers. “I put my fingers in my mouth to warm it up but I still can’t feel anything. Even my tongue feels frozen,” he said. “That’s when I decided to give up and run downhill because I realized it was hypothermia. It was wise and fortunate that I made that decision.” He also saw many other contestants pass out on the way down. However, he did not have the strength to help others. It is difficult to track other athletes because the GPS signal is very poor. In addition to hypothermia, some athletes also cut their hands and fall. Late regret According to the Xinhua News Agency , rescue efforts were hampered by high altitude and bad weather. Among the dead were Luong Tinh and Hoang Quan Quan. These are two of China’s top long-distance runners. Luong Tinh won China’s Ultra Gobi in 2018 and finished second in the Hong Kong 100 super-trail race in 2019. Meanwhile, Hoang Quan Quan is the Olympic marathon champion. Paralympic Paralympics 2019 in Dubai. Yellowstone Forest Park, where the tragedy happened. Photo: Handout. Zhang Xuchen, the chairman of Baiyin City, bowed his head to apologize to the victims’ families. “This is an unexpected incident due to the sudden change in the weather in the area. As an event organizer, we are extremely sorry and regretful. We apologize and offer our deepest condolences to the families of the victims and the injured athletes,” he said. The Gansu provincial government has set up a task force to monitor the investigation. In a comment, state broadcaster CCTV insisted extreme sports should be carefully organized to avoid such a rare and devastating tragedy. Marathons and ultra-long distance running have become popular in China in recent years, attracting participation from the country’s growing middle class. Races are held in remote areas with huge prize money to attract participants. The governments of regions in western China such as Yunnan, Gansu and Sichuan have set aside funds to organize running competitions to attract and develop tourism.

To buy a lot of mushrooms, traders are willing to eat and sleep every week in the villages. Indigenous people also earn millions of dong a day by picking mushrooms. Mushroom Cho is red, umbrella-shaped, growing under the canopy of Che or Chestnut trees. Just before 7 am, Mr. Vi Van Chung, residing in Bac Lang commune, Dinh Lap district (Lang Son) picked two baskets full of red mushrooms. On the surface, they are no different from poisonous mushrooms, but this is a fungus that is considered by the locals here as “red gold”. If lucky, each person can earn millions of dong a day by picking mushrooms. According to Mr. Chung, this is a type of mushroom that grows under the canopy of Che or Chestnut trees, which is red, umbrella-shaped, fragrant, delicious and has a medicinal taste, so it’s called Che mushroom. To pick the most and most delicious mushrooms, he had to carry a flashlight into the forest 5km from his house at 2-3 am to pick. Mushrooms that have not yet expanded are considered to be class 1 mushrooms, the most valuable. The red mushroom is very easy to mistake for a poisonous mushroom, so people only pick this mushroom under the canopy of the Cheo tree or the chestnut tree. “For houses with Che or Chestnut forest, each mushroom season, they have to set up a tent in the middle of the forest to look after mushrooms and avoid being stolen. When picking, you also have to hold the mushroom body, lift it slightly or rotate it slightly to avoid breaking, stamping and losing the chalk layer on the mushroom cap to sell at a high price, “said Chung. Holding each mushroom like an umbrella, Mr. Chung said that the mushrooms usually grow in the early morning, so the mushrooms are picked from 4 am to 8 am, umbrella-shaped, not yet enlarged, on the hat still intact. The chalk layer is purchased at the highest price, about 300-350,000 VND/kg. If you go late, you will only be able to pick the mushrooms that have expanded or broken, broken, not intact, sold for 150-200,000 VND/kg. A house with a forest of Che or a forest of chestnuts can harvest tens of kilograms of mushrooms every day. In order to collect the most mushrooms, people have to carry their lamps into the forest from dawn or set up tents to sleep in the forest to watch the mushrooms grow. As a trader who buys Cheo mushrooms from people around Van Quan district (Lang Son), Mr. Luu Van Truong, residing in Na Loc village, Tu Xuyen commune, said that the price of fresh mushrooms he purchased was about 200,000 VND on average /kg fresh mushrooms. “After I bought it, I dried it and sold it to a Chinese trader for about 1.5 million VND/kg. On average, every 5-6kg of fresh mushrooms, dried in 6-7 hours will get 1kg of dried mushrooms,” Truong shared. According to Mr. Truong, this fungus usually grows in the summer and only blooms within 1 week/month, their life cycle only lasts 1-2 days and then rots very quickly, so traders often take advantage of the blooming time. , go to buy and then dry, preserve and sell to Chinese traders. Dried Choi mushrooms are purchased by Chinese traders at the price of 1.5-2 million VND/kg. According to Truong, in the past, people around the area often took advantage of their time to go to the fields, go to the forest to pick mushrooms, eat, and make food for their daily meals. However, in the past few years, Choo mushrooms have been sought by traders at high prices to export to China. Therefore, every time in the mushroom season, people rush to pick mushrooms to sell to traders. “If a house has a forest of Cheo, a forest of chestnut trees, if they can keep mushrooms from being stolen, they can harvest about 3-4 times/crop. At the most, someone can pick 20kg of mushrooms/day, selling 4-5 million VND,” Truong revealed.

Technicians of the Center for Radiation Technology and Biotechnology (Nuclear Research Institute, based in Da Lat city, Lam Dong) next to a radioactive projector that causes mutations in plants. The Center for Radiation Technology and Biotechnology (Nuclear Research Institute) is a unit that regularly applies radiation techniques to select and create mutant varieties on plants. Especially in the past time, the orchid and bonsai market has been extremely active, many customers have come to the center to irradiate to mutate their plants. The irradiation process is quite quick, with the new technology Gama Cobalt irradiator, this process only takes about 1-2 minutes and is completely automatic. Immediately after, orchid seeds will be taken to the separation room to be cultured in nutrient solution for a certain time. After that, these plants were further isolated many times to select mutant morphologies different from the parent plant. Master Le Xuan Cuong, irradiation technician (Center for Radiation Technology and Biotechnology), said that the number of doses will vary depending on the sample provided by the customer such as tissue samples, branches, seedlings… “After irradiation, it will produce random mutations, beneficial or harmful, regardless of their will” – Master Cuong said. Currently, the Center’s Culture Room is storing many pseudo-crane orchid seedlings that have mutated on the stem and on the leaves. Specifically, the color of leaves and stems have turned white or purple. These are mutant forms that can be seen immediately, for flower color, you have to wait for the plant to grow and flower as usual. According to Mr. Le Van Thuc, Deputy Director of the Center for Radiation Technology and Biotechnology, for flower plants, by irradiation techniques, it is possible to select flower colors or select traits that are resistant to adverse conditions. environmental benefits such as preventing fungal and bacterial diseases on plants. “Compared to natural mutations, the probability is one in a thousand or one million, but using radioactive sources to cause mutations in plants will have a higher probability of hundreds, thousands of times,” – Mr. Thuc analyzed. Application on many plant varieties After irradiation, samples of the fake crane orchids were taken to the separation room to be cultured in nutrient solution for a certain time. Not only orchids, the Center for Radiation Technology and Biotechnology has tested irradiation to cause mutations on Forget-me-not Da Lat flowers, Torenia flowers, and Dendrobium orchids. The results have created many mutant lines in flower color and structure of stems and leaves with great differences compared to the mother plant. Through that, the Center has built up the basic processes of radiation breeding; selection of materials for irradiation, frequency of irradiation, propagation, experimental planting to screen for mutations at phenotypic level, identification of mutant lines at molecular level… According to Mr. Le Van Thuc, the Center’s orientation will continue to promote the field of plant biotechnology and plant breeding, rapid multiplication of plant varieties and conservation of valuable plant genetic resources; continue to develop radiation technology in the selection and breeding of key plant varieties, endemic varieties of Lam Dong province, focusing on selecting and creating new quality varieties on flower, fruit, ornamental and medicinal plants. The culture room of Radiation Technology and Biotechnology (Nuclear Research Institute) houses many mutant plants, which are mainly orchids. Currently, the Nuclear Research Institute has used irradiation techniques combined with In-vitro methods, applying in vitro flowering techniques to quickly select flower color mutations, shortening the selection time. filtering, reducing the cost of isolating mutant lines that previously had to be planted in the field for selection. At the same time, the Institute cooperates with many units throughout the country such as the Southern Fruit Institute, the Mekong Delta Rice Institute, the Central Highlands Agro-Forestry Research Institute, universities: Tra Vinh University, the University of Da Lat,… to handle mutant irradiation on many different crops. Mr. Do Minh Ngoc, Deputy Director of the Department of Science and Technology of Lam Dong province, said that irradiation is a tool and a technological solution for breeding that many parts of the world have implemented. However, the selection and maintenance of mutant traits is very important and requires time and experience for these plants to become a source of seeds for other production industries.

Orchid nursery nursery Di Linh – the result of the project of breeding In-vitro fake crane orchids by the Center for Science and Technology Application (under the Department of Science and Technology of Lam Dong Province). The technique of propagation by plant tissue culture (In-vitro) is no longer strange in Lam Dong province in general and Da Lat city in particular. The application of this technology to propagate the species of Orchid Di Linh was first deployed by the Center for Science and Technology Application. The project was completed, completed and accepted by Mr. Phan Quoc Chinh, Deputy Director of Lam Dong Center for Science and Technology Application and his colleagues. To select the original source of quality seed, the people who carried out the project had to collect Gia Hac Di Linh orchids in Da Lat city and Di Linh district, in orchid gardens that met strict standards. Sampled plants must have an average height of 30-40 cm, have 14-16 pairs of leaves, average trunk diameter of about 4mm and be planted in plastic or terracotta pots. Each tree has 4-5 fruits and the physiological ripening rate is not equal. Selected fruits that should be dark green and physiologically ripe, of the specified size, without cracks, were collected for inclusion in the sample. After cleaning and disinfecting, samples of Di Linh falcon will be propagated in-vitro according to the following summary procedure: Initial culture stage to create buds and clusters of buds; rapid multiplication stage; rooting stage to create a complete plant. These three stages take about 28 weeks, then the seedlings (5cm tall, 4cm long roots, good growth, dark green leaves) are brought to the nursery to plant and take care of. After about 24 weeks, the plant can be grown with a height of 5-7cm, with 4-5 leaves. According to Mr. Phan Quoc Chinh, plants grown in an In-vitro environment must ensure the conditions of temperature, humidity and light intensity according to certain cycles. In addition to the results of creating a series of fake crane orchids, the project also built a standard process for propagating this plant by the In-vitro method and can be transferred to other units. “During the implementation, we tried to add ripe banana pulp, coconut water to the culture medium. The results showed that shoot formation and shoot growth also increased faster than normal, “- Mr. Chinh said. Very cheap price Seedlings of Phalaenopsis orchids are extracted and put into nutrient bags to be raised in the laboratory before being sent to the nursery. After completing the In-vitro propagation process, the first 500 orchid seedlings were brought to the nursery at the Don Duong Experimental Station (Don Duong District) and continued to be tested on many different types of media within a short period of time. 3 months. As a result, the rate of plants living outside the nursery reached 90%. Among the types of substrates put into the experiment, the coir fiber medium helped the plant grow best, the height of the tree reached 5.6 cm; The root length is 3.70 cm, the survival rate is 95% and the tree has a large stem, dark green leaves, many leaves. According to Mr. Nguyen Nhu Chuong, Director of Lam Dong Center for Science and Technology Application, after the acceptance of the project, the Center continues to propagate about 3,000 plants to supply domestic and foreign markets at an export price. selling for only about 25,000 VND/seedling. “The method of tissue culture in the laboratory makes it possible to propagate many times larger numbers than natural breeding. Therefore, the price that the Center is selling to the market today is normal,” said Mr. Chuong. From the research results of the topic, Lam Dong Center for Applied Science and Technology has developed a baseline standard for the Di Linh Giac Giac orchid seedling and was continued by the Sub-Department of Cultivation and Plant Protection. take. Thereby, the genetic resources of rare forest orchids originating in the locality are preserved and developed. A Di Linh Fake Orchid is eligible for sale for 25,000 VND / tree, very cheap compared to the current market. According to Mr. Ho Anh Dung, Vice Chairman of Da Lat Flower Association, the quality of In-vitro seedlings will ensure higher uniformity and superiority compared to traditional methods, serving the conservation of seed resources. and commercial purposes. The first-line mother tree has been carefully selected, which will help the seedlings to preserve the best characteristics of the mother plant, not only the Di Linh orchid but also precious plants such as Ngoc Linh ginseng, Camellia flower .. .

About 200 km from Saigon, Bu Gia Map National Park is located at the end of the South Truong Son range. This place has a rather special geographical position, which is a transitional place from the Central Highlands to the Southern Delta. To the east of Bu Gia Map is Dak Nong province, to the northwest, it borders Cambodia. I have been to many forests and climbing mountains in Europe and America, but the tropical forests of Southeast Asia (including Vietnam) always have their own charm that is hard to resist. Nature at Bu Gia Map attracts visitors by the rusticity, of the wildest things such as fresh, cool air and clear streams. In particular, this place is also characterized by the primeval forest when there are many rare species of trees such as rosewood, red oak, and cedarwood. Visitors coming here are easily caught up in the rolling, fanciful foliage of ancient trees up to 40-50 m high. Visitors coming here are easily caught up in the rolling, fanciful foliage of the 40-50 m tall old trees. I silently watched the clouds fly alternately in the forest foliage, in the high blue sky. Stepping into the wilderness always gives you a feeling of being nourished, peaceful and elated at the same time. Here, I also learn how to exploit my senses more, feel the natural world more and more attractive. Going through the primeval forests, breathe in the fresh air created by the trees. The air given by nature will make your soul light and relaxed. Nature also always heals our troubles, doesn’t it? The habitat of the humid tropical forest is diverse. There are plants that are used by indigenous people as medicinal herbs, or used in daily life such as giant umbrella tree, mausoleum. The forest also has cool, clear streams that are filtered completely naturally through layers, layers of forest trees and rocks. With low mountainous terrain, the trails here have a moderate slope, quite easy to go. The plants intertwine with the stream create a diversity of landscapes, as well as the habitat of many animals. The biodiversity makes the forest scenery more pure and fresh. I could smell the damp vegetation and the rotten leaves slowly blending into the forest soil, giving off a pungent odor. The deeper you go into the forest, the more strange and curious you will feel. The most interesting thing is probably when being immersed in the rapids and natural lakes in the middle of the forest with the flow originating from Dak Nong province. The clear sound of the stream, the murmuring water helps your soul to be strangely peaceful. This is the time when I let myself float on the pure, blue water. Lakes and streams intertwine with the forest canopy, blending in and out, creating a feeling of friendliness and immersion as if returning to the primitive period. Not only watching the majestic scenery, I also learned about the culinary culture and traditional dishes of the S’tieng and M’nong people such as lam rice, Thuc soup, grilled chicken, stream fish, wild vegetables… Going to pick wild vegetables, collect firewood, catch fish from streams… then set up a kitchen, boil water for tree roots with a mausoleum and cook in the middle of the forest with bamboo tubes. Traditional Thuc Soup (Trau Pung) of the S’tieng includes rattan buds, bitter eggplant, spinach, wild mushrooms and stream fish. Com lam, a traditional dish typical of the cultural identity of the S’tieng people. In the S’tieng language, lam rice is called “Bien man don ka”, which means that sticky rice is cooked into rice in a bamboo tube. This is also an indispensable dish in their holidays and Tet. The S’tieng and M’nong people have a long tradition of association with the mountains and forests. Since ancient times, these ethnic groups have lived along primeval forests and depended on hunting, gathering, and shifting cultivation. Coming here, I also had the opportunity to travel on the beautiful border route. There are 2 main roads to go through Bu Gia Map, DT 741 road and Binh Phuoc province border. The difference is that these two roads can connect to form a circle embracing the forest. Bu Gia Map National Park – the green lung of the Southeast region, is definitely a great experience for anyone who loves nature. There is no phone signal or internet, where you are completely immersed in nature, listening and enjoying the sounds of the mountains. You will feel the breeze on your skin, hear the harmonious singing of birds, smell the fragrance of plants, taste the sweetness of the air… Note before the journey You must contact the managers of Bu Gia Map in advance. They will assign a guide to lead you to the desired location. Without a guide, rangers and border guards will not allow you to enter the forest. In addition, you need to prepare all the basic items when entering the forest: – Shoes with good adhesion, climbing ability, bring slippers (when not going to the forest), long socks that can be draped over pants to avoid squeezing, insects – Comfortable jungle clothes, good elasticity, swimwear for bathing – Snacks and drinks – Common medical drugs, insect repellents, extractors

Remaining mangrove forest of Phan Thiet city, Binh Thuan province Windproof, anti-erosion Mangrove forest population of Phan Thiet city has an area of ​​more than 32 hectares, distributed on the southern bank of the flood drainage canal, on the boundary between three wards Phu Thuy, Thanh Hai and Phu Hai. Mr. Nguyen Van Thai (living in Phu Hai ward, Phan Thiet city) said: “In the past, on both sides of Cau Ke river, trees such as fish sauce, cork, mangroves have grown luxuriantly. About 15 years ago, when shrimp farming developed, local people voluntarily dig ponds to raise shrimp. However, later shrimp farming failed, people quit and since then, trees and creatures have grown very strongly, creating a beautiful mangrove forest. According to local people, the above mentioned mangrove forest has recovered and grown very quickly; many trees are 3-4m high, there are trees 5-6m, wide and thick canopy. Currently, many types of birds and storks have come to live, creating a unique space in the heart of the famous tourist city of the country. Mr. Pham Cong Thai (living in Thanh Hai ward) said: “Because there are small creeks, shrimp and fish are abundant, recently, storks have focused on the forest to live and feed. Sometimes they fly back in large numbers, sometimes thousands, creating a peaceful scene.” Not only having a rich ecosystem, the mangrove forest of Phan Thiet city also has important functions such as charging and regulating groundwater, regulating ecology and climate, producing biomass, limiting floods, and preventing floods. This area is also home to dozens of species of shrimp, fish, snails and molluscs. In which, storks, shrimps and green clams are considered the typical species of the forest. It is not necessary to change According to the People’s Committee of Phan Thiet City, this area was originally planned as “Parks, green trees, sports”. However, it was later adjusted into a residential area, a commercial and service area (about 12 hectares) and a park (about 18 hectares). In which, an area of ​​12 hectares will be auctioned to get money to build the park. Many people were shocked when they heard this news. “If the project is implemented, Phan Thiet city will lose a rare regenerated mangrove forest. This is a big loss that money can’t create in the future, “said Mr. Thai. Recently, during a survey and working trip with the Standing Board of Phan Thiet City Party Committee, Mr. Duong Van An, Secretary of the Binh Thuan Provincial Party Committee, said that it is necessary to re-study the plan to build a residential area combined with a park in Binh Thuan province. mangrove forest above. Auctioning a part of this land for residential purposes will cause Phan Thiet City to lose a rare, largest remaining regenerating mangrove forest. Retaining and conserving the mangrove forest is to retain a precious, non-renewable natural resource. Later, when conditions permit, embellishment will be carried out, investing in a system of roads around and under the forest canopy, embellishing both sides of the river, creating a beautiful ecological area in the heart of Phan Thiet city, right next to the route. main road to Mui Ne National Tourist Area. Many locals also believe that, if kept, this place promises to be a unique destination of Binh Thuan tourism. At the same time, the locality will have an additional natural park, eco-tourism community; contribute to educating pupils, students and people about the awareness of environmental protection, love of nature… Mangrove forest complex is also a place for research, sightseeing and picnic activities. In some localities, mangroves are preserved, developed, promoted their value, become attractions, tourism, scientific research. “Binh Thuan province still has difficulties and needs resources to develop. Exchange of land for infrastructure is one of the must-dos in the current context. However, there are still other lands to put up for auction, for residential, commercial and service purposes, not necessarily taking this precious mangrove forest,” said Binh Thuan Provincial Party Secretary Duong Van An. strong.

Mr. Lam and a hundred-year-old ironwood tree in the middle of a thousand years Born in the border area of ​​Huong Son district (Ha Tinh), Mr. Tran Ngoc Lam’s childhood (SN 1960, living in Khe Nam village, Son Kim commune 1) was attached to the forest. In 1990, when the State had a policy to mobilize people to receive forests for care and protection, Mr. Lam volunteered to receive more than 26 hectares of forests, including more than 20 hectares of natural forests and 6 hectares of planted forests. In order to protect the forest, he sought to restore the hill behind the house that was destroyed, badly damaged for many years. Mr. Lam recalled, the whole forest at that time was cut down, there were no trees with a circumference of more than 100cm. “Watching the trees grow up day by day, I am very happy. Protecting the forest is very difficult, because the forest is large, the people are few, while the people have no rights, so when they detect the loggers, they can only chase them out of their land. Mr. Tran Ngoc Lam During the period from 1990 to 1992, this forest was affected by the bluff exploitation, which affected the water source. In the summer, the wells in the village were dry at the bottom, some households dug more than 20m deep but still there was not a drop of water. Life is turned upside down, all activities rely on water from heaven and streams. Realizing that the harmful effects of deforestation are too serious, in addition to strictly protecting the existing forest tree area, Mr. Lam’s family borrowed a loan to plant acacia on the area of ​​production forest and enrich the natural forest area with tree species. Indigenous people such as green lim, doi, kien Kien… on average, he plants 3,000 trees a year. “After many years of eating and sleeping in the forest, looking back, the value of each tree is really precious,” said Mr. Lam, recalling the more than 30 years he spent in the forest. In order to admire the ancient ironwood trees, we were led into the forest by Mr. Lam and local ranger Doan Doanh Tuyen (Huong Son Ranger District). After climbing the pass, wading streams, the ironwood forest gradually opened up in front of our eyes, the higher we went, the dense forest, many big trees that 2 people couldn’t hug. As he walked, Mr. Lam pointed at the big tree stumps and read the name: “This tree is green ironwood, over a hundred years old, like this one two people can’t even hug; On the other side is the dot, the circumference is over 100cm. I have to go up here often, I’m very tired, but if I’m negligent, I’ll be the bad guy to cut it right away,” Lam said. The sixty-year-old man shared that, over the past 30 years, he has not had a single night of sleep because many loggers are trying to steal wood to sell. He was even threatened with death by a logger. Forest protection is not easy, eat the forest, sleep in the forest. There were times when family life was difficult, not eating enough, some people suggested that he cut down some wood to sell, but he still decided to keep the green ironwood forest, so that today the forest will pay back. Thank you for the old man with ancient iron roots over a hundred years old. Lam’s ironwood forest is like a “green lung” to develop ecosystems, prevent erosion, and prevent floods.

Bee salad. “Eating bees” is the local way of saying about the journey to get honey from the hive. Mr. Pham Duy Khanh, a resident of U Minh Ha and a tourist from the profession of guarding bee hive, said: “When workers collect honey from the beehive, they often enjoy a part of honey and young honeycomb on the spot to assess the quality. amount of honey as well as reward yourself. Because eating bees in the forest is always better than taking them home.” U Minh Ha wild honey is a specialty of Ca Mau, famous for its quality that is hard to match. Because only bees that suck nectar of Melaleuca flowers can give clear yellow honey with a gentle floral scent and pure sweetness. In particular, the bees only come to nest when the Melaleuca forest is planted close to nature on a large and dense area. With lush green melaleuca forests all year round, U Minh Ha National Forest is an ideal habitat for bees. Especially, at the time when Melaleuca flowers bloom, a lot of honey bees fly back to make nests. Capturing this behavior, Mr. Pham Duy Khanh’s family planted Melaleuca on an area of ​​60ha, creating a living environment to attract bees and preserve the profession of guarding bees. According to local people, the “eating bee” season usually starts from about March onwards, when the weather is dry and hot, suitable for melaleuca flowers to bloom and bees to make honey. A few weeks before this time, people have prepared to set aside the truss for the bees to make a nest. This truss set is usually made from melaleuca tree, straight body, with a diameter of 10-15cm, peeled off, dry. The truss is pitched in the shape of a roof and is suitable for locations where the sun shines through. The time for bees to nest is about 20-30 days. After that, people will visit and collect honey at the right time when the hive has formed. To collect honey, workers must carry a smoker or a torch made of coconut fiber, long-sleeved clothes, a hood, gloves, a knife and other tools to store honeycombs and honeycombs. Usually, the worker uses a knife to cut and separate the honey from the hive, leaving about 1/3 of the hive for the bees to make a new nest. Pham Duy Khanh shared: “The habit of bees when growing up will separate the colony to make new nests, so it will continue to give honey. A nest like this, if exploited well, can get honey 3-4 times.” After cutting the honeycomb out of the nest, squeeze or squeeze the honey. Each hive on average gives about 3-5 liters of honey, with nests up to 10 liters. In the dry season, honey is more abundant and of better quality than in the rainy season. When beekeeping is exploited as a tourist product, visitors will experience the journey into the forest to collect honey with local workers. This journey brings many interesting things, not only the thrill of weaving through the forests and lagoons; visitors can also enjoy honey on the spot. Young bees are also processed into unique dishes. It is young bee salad, young bee pancakes, young bee porridge, young bee sauce or deep-fried young bees. This is a special feature that can only be experienced directly in U Minh Ha forest. Beekeeping is a typical profession of the U Minh Ha forest area, which is not only valuable in terms of economy but also imbued with local cultural identity. Since then formed a tourism product that is attracting more and more tourists to Ca Mau.

For many people who live and work in Kon Tum, as familiar as sticky rice is with bamboo shoots, for those who come from far away for the first time, sticky rice with bamboo shoots becomes a strange dish. Perhaps partly because they are familiar with traditional sticky rice such as corn sticky rice, xeo sticky rice, green bean sticky rice, etc., everyone is curious when they hear about sticky rice with bamboo shoots. Sticky bamboo shoots look quite simple, only consisting of cooked sticky rice and fried bamboo shoots above. Kon Tum people like to eat spicy, so each bowl also has a red chili. The way to make sticky rice with bamboo shoots is also simple and not very fussy. Fresh bamboo shoots, after being dug in the forest, are peeled off, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces. Through preliminary processing to remove the smell, bamboo shoots are stir-fried with spices to become rich. Selected glutinous rice is soaked in dilute salt water mixed with turmeric powder to color for about 8 hours, then bring out the cooked food. That’s the “traditional” style of sticky rice with bamboo shoots. But people are also creative to make sticky rice more delicious and attractive. In the early morning, next to the pot of sticky rice and fried bamboo shoots, there are also braised fish for customers to choose from. Sometimes, braised fish is replaced with salty braised beans. So the customer has a new item in the “menu” that changes. In the early morning, the seller puts a large batch of hot sticky rice with a pot of fried bamboo shoots and a few sets of fresh banana leaves to pack for customers who want to take away. People who come to buy only need to spend 7,000 VND, those who eat a lot, buy about 10,000 VND to have a cheap and delicious breakfast. However, if only that is the case, the sticky rice dish in Kon Tum is still not enough to be attractive. Besides fried bamboo shoots, the seller also skillfully processed braised fish and bamboo shoot porridge for more variety. So the sticky rice restaurant has more menus for customers to choose from. Those who like to be vegetarian can choose sticky rice with bamboo shoots, if they like mixed, order more braised fish with bamboo shoots or young children can have a breakfast with bamboo shoot porridge with their parents. In addition to bamboo shoots, guests can choose bamboo shoot porridge which is equally attractive, with its own characteristics in the charm of color with a little bright yellow of bamboo shoots. Placed on a bowl of turmeric-colored sticky rice, bamboo shoots attract passersby with a special aroma, making many people linger just to buy a pack of sticky rice in time for work. Unknowingly that delicious dish became something to hold people back once through the mountainous town of the Central Highlands.

The trees are silvery white, the trees are musty, the trees are rough, and every tree is soaring as going straight through the blue sky, making the canopy of leaves proudly on the forest space. The most poetic are the relatives of mistletoe, from dense ferns jostling for a noisy competition in the direction of sunlight, fragile and humble vines wrapped around the soft, idyllic root of the host, to the species of orchids that are tall and tall, they gather like a crowded population, for old trees to have friends, to support the loneliness of trees for hundreds of years, a few hundred years … Do not know if the time to enter the forest is the right time when the birds after lunch are full, gathered in the groves, singing together, forming a multi-level forest music concert.

Crouched in the jungle, amidst the singing of a group of revolutionary songs accompanying the years, suddenly traveling through space and time back half a century ago, to hear echoes “ If you go out, you will preserve the mountains and rivers. If you leave, it is better to die. “ Not the first time coming here, but it seems that every time I step into the “R” battle zone, there is a strange excitement, like a rushing flow in my body, like a Liberation soldier marching out. Battle of the past … Bac Tay Ninh- “holy land” of the resistance war, in 15 years, from the fire of Dong Khoi 1960 to the day of reunification in 1975, the Central Department of the South has firmly stood in the primeval forest. back to many layers of trees covering Rung Duon and Chang Riec, in Tan Bien district, Tay Ninh province. This place marks the life and work in the years of the long and arduous resistance war of the eminent leaders of the Party, the State, our army and famous patriotic intellectuals who “leave the street. go to the forest “join the resistance war. The Central Base Bureau went down in history with the immortal nickname “R”.

Writing us, writers, reminding them not to be forgotten on our pages. 4.
