Taiwan planned to destroy 120,000 green da

About 200,000 green Da Da (Iguana Iguana) Invasive is said to live in the southern and central areas of Taiwan, which depends heavily on agriculture, according to Chiu Kuo-Hao, working at nature forestry and conservation. Special hunting teams destroyed about 70,000 Cu Da last year, with a bonus of 15 USD each. Local authorities call people to help determine the Cu Da and recommend the use of skewers to catch fish as a humanitarian means to eliminate them, CNN On 24/1 reported.

“Many people buy them like cute small pets without realizing how big they will become. . That allows sentient beings to be fast, forcing us to destroy to restore the natural balance, “Lee Chi-ya, working at the agricultural agency of Binh Dong district, southern Taiwan, for know.

Cu Da green has no natural enemies in Taiwan. They have invaded difficult areas, mainly forests and areas along the town. The male shape can be up to 2 m long, weighs 5 kg, lives up to 20 years, while the female can lay 80 eggs at the same time. This invasive species negatively affects the ecological balance, and is harmful to agricultural products and irrigation systems due to liking to burrow in canals.

Mostly from Central America and the Caribbean region, the green momentum is not aggressive despite its tail and sharp jaws, the teeth like a knife. This reptile mainly eats fruits, leaves, plants, sometimes eating small animals. Despite their popular pets, they are difficult to maintain a healthy state in captivity and many dead children within one year.

HSU Wei-Chieh, General Secretary of the Taiwan reptile conservation association, said that his group wanted to guide farmers how to keep their personal assets safely and protect their personal property and humane treatment with Cu Da. “We are here to help ensure the project goes smoothly,” HSU said.

Tsai Po-Wen, a vegetable farmer in Pingtung, agreed that the training is effective. “We used to attack them, but it was not effective. Now we are learning more effective and safer methods,” Tsai shared.
