Businesses welcome "Tanabata" to create a popular desire to put thousands of firefly disputes

Nanjing, August 14th: The Chinese New Year is approaching. Nanjing Hongyang Plaza has a sign that “the fireflies of the Tanabata 10,000 firebirds are airborne.” Because it is difficult to see fireflies in cities, this move has attracted many people’s attention. On the 14th, Jiangsu Qinghuan Volunteer Service Center, which has been focusing on fireflies for three years in Nanjing, appealed on the Internet to boycott such behavior. According to Fu Xinhua, a firefly expert at the Huazhong Agricultural University, the center’s instructor, “Fireflies that are released off-site, if they survive, will interfere with the local biodiversity.”

Nanjing Hongyang Plaza released its message on its official microblog on the 10th: "From August 23 to 23 o'clock on the 23rd, tens of thousands of fireflies were transported by air in Yunnan to build artificial green forests around the Ferris wheel of Hongyang Plaza, free for tourists. Take photos to enjoy flying.” The romantic nature of the firefly made many people look forward to the day's activities, but people who understand the firefly habits are full of worries. On the question of environmentalists, on the evening of the 13th, the official Weibo of Hongyang Square responded that the firefly that was released was artificial indoor breeding, not wild fireflies.

"How many fireflies died in this low-level viewing mode. This was indistinguishable from the time when Guangzhou Baiyunshan purchased Yunnan fireflies for release. Love of fireflies allowed them to fly freely in their habitats," said Firefly Expert, Huazhong Agricultural University Fu Xinhua. The professor said in the interview: “Even the fireflies that are raised cannot fly. Fireflies that are released in different places, if survived, will interfere with the local biodiversity, such as the diversity of firefly prey snails and small insects.”

The master of insect ecology of the East China Normal University in the three butterfly (net name) analysis in the shell network: "There are two results of releasing such a large quantity, one is that the firefly can not adapt to the local environment and soon die; the other is the firefly After surviving locally, this process may pose a potential threat to local fireflies. Because of the similarity of food, there is bound to be competition. These fireflies may become invasive species that directly affect the population of native fireflies and other ecosystems. biological."

According to Zhu Xiangyu, head of the Nanjing Qinghuan Volunteer Service Center, the number of fireflies in Nanjing’s Zijinshan area has steadily increased in recent years through clean-up of habitats, and it is hoped that the non-environmental protection of businesses will affect the good momentum of firefly protection in Nanjing.
