charity Zoological Society of London (ZSL) have used historical records
from China stretching back over 400 years to track changes in the distribution
of gibbons, which today are some of China's most threatened species. This is
one of the first instances of using ancient historical records to reconstruct the
course of extinctions across several centuries.
Using local government records dating from as early as 1600 AD, across the
Ming and Qing Dynasties and through China's Republican and Communist periods,
researchers were able to infer the former presence of gibbons in different
Chinese prefectures, and track their gradual disappearance through time.
Researchers found that only a few hundred years ago, gibbons were
distributed across almost half of China. However, gibbon populations collapsed
during the twentieth century, and today they survive in only a few remote
forest patches in the far southwest of the country. One of China's gibbon
species, the Hainan gibbon (Nomascus hainanus), is now probably the rarest
mammal species in the world, with a total population of only 26-28 individuals.
Dr Samuel Turvey, lead author and Senior Research Fellow at ZSL, said:
"Gibbons were of great cultural importance in pre-modern China, because
they were thought to be able to channel mystical "qi energy" and live
for several hundred years, and their haunting dawn calls came to symbolise the
melancholy of travellers in classical poetry. Their former presence over large
regions of China was widely recorded in local documents, and reconstructing
when -- and why -- different gibbon populations disappeared across much of
China can teach us important lessons that can help save the country's last few
gibbons.
"China has a fantastically rich historical record, which includes a
wealth of environmental data that has rarely been used for conservation
management. Because of the current environmental crisis facing eastern and
southeast Asia, we have to explore new ways to better understand the kinds of
factors that can make species more or less vulnerable to extinction."
