中新网约翰内斯堡9月13日电 南非夸祖卢—纳塔尔省野生动物保护局(Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife)近日向博茨瓦纳一处保护区捐赠20头黑犀牛,以助拓展黑犀牛栖息地。

这批犀牛被转移至博茨瓦纳的一处私人保护区(Deception Valley Private Reserve)。此次行动是“黑犀牛栖息地扩展项目”(Black Rhino Range Expansion Project,BRREP)的一部分。该项目由夸纳省野生动物保护局与世界自然基金会(WWF)合作实施。

据夸纳省野生动物保护局介绍,这20头黑犀牛约在8周前从7个野生动物保护区捕获,其中既包括该机构直接管理的保护区,也包括此前参与BRREP项目的保护区。

夸纳省野生动物保护局首席执行官西赫莱·姆基泽(Sihle Mkhize)表示,该机构会将这些保护区繁育的黑犀牛后代与其自有保护区中的其他个体进行组合,从而组建一个具有遗传多样性的创始种群,再整体转移至新的栖息地。姆基泽说:“黑犀牛被列为极度濒危物种,这类项目对于这一物种的长期生存至关重要。”

此次向博茨瓦纳转移黑犀牛,是“黑犀牛栖息地扩展项目”自2003年启动以来建立的第18个新的黑犀牛种群。

姆基泽表示,一次性转移20头黑犀牛,而不是在较长时间内分批转移少量个体,可以为新种群的建立、繁殖以及未来向周边栖息地扩散创造更有利的条件。黑犀牛被引入新的保护区后,相关保护机构还将持续进行监测,以确保新种群能够稳定建立并繁衍。

根据相关托管协议,在新的保护区出生的每一头黑犀牛幼崽,将根据协议安排捐赠给所在保护区,或重新分配给夸纳省野生动物保护局。

姆基泽表示,这一过程通常需要5至6年,因为在进行后续个体分配之前,需要给新建立的黑犀牛种群足够时间繁衍和稳定发展。
