A | Colombo, Oct 20 (UNI) A Sri Lankan biodiversity scientist wants to import six Bisons from India but the plan has run into weather from the department of forest.
The scientist who is also a public policy advisor do not have permission from the Department of Forest Conservation and the Department of Wildlife Conservation to buy the Bisons from India, The Island newspaper on Thursday quoted the Centre for Environmental Justice (CEJ) as saying.
CEJ Director and Chief Advisor Hemantha Withanage said: “The Department of Wildlife Conservation states that these animals are found in the central region of India and there are problems regarding their adaptation to Sri Lanka."
Biodiversity expert Rohan Pethiyagoda said he was under the impression that the CEJ had been misled by an Indian newspaper report that there was a proposal to reintroduce in the Sri Lankan wild gaur or Indian Bisons which became extinct in the island nation some centuries ago.
“The demography of Sri Lanka has changed drastically for that to be feasible, and we have enough and more problems with human-elephant conflict. All I requested our High Commissioner in Delhi was to ascertain if the Indian government might in principle be willing to entertain a request from Sri Lanka to establish a herd of gaur in our National Zoological Gardens,” he told the Mirror.
“That is all there is to this. Of course, there may be those who are opposed to the idea of the zoo maintaining a herd of gaur. But in my opinion, most Sri Lankans would like such a move."
He said the reintroduction of the species to the wild was a hugely expensive, scientifically complex and time-consuming enterprise.
“But I would be astonished if anyone thought there is anything wrong with the last large mammal species to become extinct in Sri Lanka being represented in our national zoo.”

处暑虽过鹭岛仍闷热,今明两天受台风及季风影响有大雨到暴雨,气温回落体感转凉。

C | 降水时局地伴有雷电、短时大风等强对流天气。气温回落,明天城区最高气温仅剩28℃,夜晨最低气温在25℃左右,体感明显转凉,不过真正的秋凉尚未到来。

D | 海上台风“三台共舞”,路径扑朔迷离。第19号台风“紫檀”未来路径极为复杂,不排除多次登陆的可能。第20号台风“简拉维”预计今天在台湾海峡减弱消散。

E | 更远处的第18号台风“沙德尔”预计8月25日前对我国近海海域无影响,后期路径存在较大不确定性。(厦门日报记者 朱道衡 通讯员 崔梦雪) 提醒 注意防范暑热潮湿 处暑节气对闽南农民非常重要,闽南民谚有“处暑不觉热,水果免想结”,“处暑有下雨,中稻粒粒米”的说法。 气象专家提醒,处暑前后,天气还未出现真正意义上的秋凉,此时晴天下午的炎热亦不亚于暑夏之季,空气中仍夹杂着暑湿之邪,所以仍要注意防范暑热、潮湿。处暑后太阳的紫外线辐射指数较大,市民不要忽视防晒。(厦门日报记者 朱道衡 通讯员 林敏丹)。
