Persistence in faith costs the loss of personality and reading (printable): Pan experienced unimaginable hardships in scientific research. "From 1980 to the present 26 years, I have spent at least 10 months in the wild every year." Speaking of this, Pan's face is full of satisfaction. To calculate his life time in the wild, we have to use subtraction: "Except for eight years in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression as a child, six years in middle school and eight years in the Cultural Revolution, I stayed in the wild almost all the time." In other words, Pan has only lived in this city for 22 years. He was bordered by inaccessible land for nearly 50 years in his life. Pan was the first person to write a letter to the Central Committee to oppose the enclosure of wild giant pandas in "farms" and the first person in China to oppose the cloning of giant pandas. A lot of scientific basis behind these suggestions comes from his many years of first-line scientific research. From 1984 to 1998, 15, graduate students participated in Qinling research with Pan. "The hardest thing is that there is no oil and water for a long time, and I almost didn't have enough to eat in the first eight years." Winter is the best season to observe giant pandas. Pan and his students often stay in tents at minus 10 degrees for three or five consecutive days and nights, constantly monitor the giant pandas by radio, and record the most direct and reliable parameters about giant pandas' mating, fertilization, farrowing and breastfeeding. Afraid of disturbing the giant panda, I dare not make a fire, the food freezes into ice bumps, and the water in the house turns into ice cubes. Write a research journal every night, with a candle in one hand and a record in the other. Washing your face only once every two weeks can keep the oil on your face and prevent frostbite.
"We put radio collars on a dozen giant pandas, turn on the radio every quarter of an hour to record their whereabouts, and listen to the records 96 times a day." Every time I finish listening to a round, a quarter of an hour passes quickly. "Three people are too busy to turn." Years of field work have made Pan develop the same schedule as wild animals-sleeping during the day, working at night, lying down to sleep and starting to work with his eyes open. "Wild animals never have a deep sleep. They are always alert-so am I. Six hours of sleep a day can be divided into countless times." In the wild life, the danger is unpredictable. Difficulties and hardships in the natural environment, such as dangerous mountains and bad water, poisonous insects, tigers and leopards, frostbite and falls, gas poisoning, are attacking this young team at any time. Despite caution, tragedy is inevitable. 1985 In the spring, Pan and two graduate students just arrived in the Qinling Mountains on the 39th day. Ceng Zhou, a graduate student who was only 2 1, fell off a cliff and died while looking for the footprints of giant pandas. This put a heavy burden on Pan's back. "I will not only organize research work in the wild, but also be their parents to ensure the safety of every child." Pan Shiwen himself had many accidents. Once I fell from a 5-meter-high rock and photographed a panda. Bamboo passed through my fingers and the blood on my hand stuck to the camera. It was swollen for seven or eight months after washing with iodine. On another occasion, I fell down on a steep slope of 70 degrees and rolled for tens of meters. I was stopped by a tree trunk and didn't fall into the valley. The trunk was cracked by the impact and the pants were wet. The result was bloody. After more than a month, he was bedridden because of anal fissure and had to eat liquid food. Today, 74-year-old Pan still walks in the woods, searching and protecting those endangered wild animals.

Pan, male, was born in an overseas Chinese family in Thailand from 65438 to 0937. China NLD member, professor and doctoral supervisor of Peking University College of Life Sciences, director of Peking University Giant Panda and Wildlife Conservation Center, director of Peking University Chongzuo Biodiversity Research Base, part-time researcher of Smithsonian Institution and San Diego Zoological Society, director of China Ecological Society, and principle of China Zoological Society. Winner of the National "May 1st Labor Medal".
As one of the pioneers in the study of wild giant pandas in China, Professor Pan has conducted in-depth research and protection of giant pandas for 13 years since the 1980s. From 1996, we moved from Qinling Mountain to Nongguan Mountain Area in Chongzuo, Guangxi, and actively improved and improved the living, education and medical conditions of local farmers while protecting biodiversity as much as possible. After 12 years of scientific research and hard practice, he made the karst rocky mountain ecosystem of 24 square kilometers the last habitat of the rare animal langur, and successfully solved the biodiversity and the survival problems of local farmers. Since 2005, he has devoted himself to the research and protection of Chinese white dolphins in Sanniang Bay, Qinzhou, providing scientific basis for the government's decision to "develop Beibu Gulf" and achieved initial results in the protection of animal white dolphins at the national level. Through 25 years of unremitting scientific research and social practice, Professor Pan has explored a set of successful models for effectively improving and protecting the ecological environment, which has made great contributions to the construction of ecological civilization in China. 1987 Pan won the first prize of scientific and technological progress of the State Education Commission, and 1990 won the second prize of scientific and technological progress of the State Education Commission. On June 28th, 2008, 10, Pan won the highest award of the 9th Ford Automobile Environmental Protection Award "Contribution Award for Ecological Civilization". Pan: Endangered species won't give you more time. Com.cn2006-3-3121:55: 56 He is considered as one of the pioneers in the research and protection of wild giant pandas in China in 1980s and 1990s, and the American Reader's Digest magazine called him "the father of pandas". Pan Shiwen said: "Wild is freedom, and nothing can make me leave wild." In this year's NPC and CPPCC deputies' proposal, he left something about protecting white dolphins. "Every time I return to Beijing, I think I must leave as soon as possible." Professor Pan, a 69-year-old famous zoologist, sat at the window and looked at the budding branches in early spring and said, "Others have gone to enjoy life at my age. I still like living in the wild like a child. " He once said that seeing him in the city is "as difficult as finding wild animals". Every year, Professor Pan takes some time from his field research base to return to Beijing. One is to attend the two sessions, and the other is to arrange graduation defense for graduate students. In March this year, it was his longest stay in Beijing, *** 17 days. In the proposal of the representatives of the two sessions, he left his own content about protecting white dolphins: "These are all symbols of biodiversity in the Beibu Gulf, which represents that the Beibu Gulf is a clean sea area and has important value to mankind."
Pan Shiwen devoted his life to wildlife research. During the ten years from 65438 to 0985, he spent 90% of his time stationed in the area with the densest distribution of giant pandas in Qinling Mountains, and monitored giant pandas by radio on the mountain at an altitude of 307 1 m, becoming the first scientist in the world to witness the birth of wild giant pandas under pure natural conditions. American Reader's Digest magazine called him "the father of pandas". 1996, the study of giant pandas came to an end. Pan's field research base was transferred from Qinling Mountains to Chongzuo, Guangxi, and he began to study rare animals, the white-headed langur and the Chinese white dolphin. Once a "panda expert", he is now called "Professor White-headed langur". Pan Shiwen never seems to stop. He said: "even if scientists are desperate, they will die in the front line of laboratories and field research sites." The Call for Childbearing realized the belief that "wildness is freedom, and no force can make me leave wildness". Pan Shiwen said that he is like the dog named Booker in the novel The Call of the Wild by the American writer Jack London-he gave up the superior life of guarding the house in a mansion, wandered in the Arctic wilderness all his life, and eventually became the leader of the wolves. "From 1980 to the present 26 years, I have spent at least 10 months in the wild every year." Speaking of this, Pan's face is full of satisfaction. To calculate his life time in the wild, we have to use subtraction: "Except for eight years in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression as a child, six years in middle school and eight years in the Cultural Revolution, I stayed in the wild almost all the time."

I was stopped by a tree trunk and didn't fall into the valley. The trunk was cracked by the impact and the pants were wet. The result was bloody. After more than a month, he was bedridden because of anal fissure and had to eat liquid food. Pan Shiwen, who recorded the panda "Nothing", had sparse white hair, wore a blue sweater and reading glasses, and turned over his book "Nothing". This book is like a father telling the story of his son. The details in the book come from bits and pieces that Pan recorded on pieces of paper over the years. Tiger is the first child of Jiao Jiao, a giant panda. It took Pan Shiwen four years to get close to Jiao Jiao. When I first saw Jiao Jiao, the bold panda didn't run away like other animals, but rushed at him. Pan turned and ran to the tall boulder, shaking bamboo and talking to it softly. The giant wild panda sat down obediently. When "Jiao Jiao" gave birth to "nothingness", Pan Shiwen could only dive into the cave to observe; When Jiao Jiao's second child was born, he was able to observe its breastfeeding process at close range. When the third child was born, "Jiao Jiao" was completely caught off guard. Pan could even hold the "newborn baby" in front of him, record the heartbeat frequency and measure his temperature.
Pan still remembers the roar and loud noise that shook the whole valley when the male panda was in estrus. "We dare not go near a group of fighting dogs, but during the panda estrus, we can sit in the middle of the courtship field and watch some male pandas bite for Jiao Jiao. But they won't hurt us at all. " In more than ten years in Qinling Mountains, he and his graduate students discovered for the first time that the DNA diversity of giant pandas has not dropped to the level of inbreeding, and announced to the world for the first time: "Giant pandas have not entered a dead end of evolution." He used a lot of scientific data to prove that Qinling Mountain is the last nature reserve for giant pandas. Within 650 square kilometers of the Qinling Mountains, about 150 giant pandas have been in a relatively stable state in recent ten years, with a 9-year growth rate of 3.5%. Endangered species won't give you more time. There is an extinction on the earth almost every hour. The extinction rate of modern species is 1 0,000 times faster than that of natural species, and 1 0,000 times faster than that of formation. This amazing extinction data comes from the National Endangered Species Import and Export Administration Office. 1996, when the Dutch prince awarded Pan the Golden Spot Award for the protection of wild animals, he declined it because "endangered species will not give you more time". Pan, who visited the white-headed langur in a cave in Fusui, Guangxi, knew that his time was precious. Nevertheless, Pan is confident in the protection of wildlife: "Human beings are the highest form of life evolution, and we are equivalent to the brains of more than100000 species in the world. They are our limbs and trunks, and we must find a way for them. " But he believes that the protection of endangered species cannot rely on fanaticism and enthusiasm. "Human beings must change their own ethics and behaviors. According to the average consumption level of Americans today, 6.5 billion people around the world will exhaust the surface and underground resources of the earth in just 35 years. " The area where wildlife is studied in Pan-Shi Wen is always
