22、的 计划提出正式异议。这对夫妇想要改变位于洛蒙德湖范围内的Inchconnachan,该想法受到了社会各界的 批评。该地区一直为苏格兰一个贵族家族所有,至今已有700多年的历史。当地居民、博 物学家兼播音员克里斯帕克汉(Chris Packham)、苏格兰防止虐待动物协会(Scottish Society for Prevention of Cruelty toAnimals),目前还有林地信托(woodland Trust)都提出了 异议,敦促这对夫妇取消计划一一即除去岛上所有非本地物种。克雷格莫里森发起了一 项反对捕杀动物的请愿活动,截至昨天下午已有近6万人签名。该岛被指定受保护区法律保护
23、,特别是在保护其古老的橡树林方面。苏格兰自然机构, 政府保护机构,正在研究这对夫妇的计划。林地信托认为,即使在古老的森林,已形成的 非本地物种也应受到法律保护。它还认为,这对夫妇的建设计划将会给无可替代的古树带 来不必要的损失。琼斯和杨在2020年花了 160万英镑买下了 Inchconnachan岛。20多年来无人居住的 岛上居住着一群世界上最北端的红颈小袋鼠。20世纪40年代,该岛的主人菲奥娜布莱德 戈尔把一对红颈小袋鼠引入这个占地42公顷的小岛。据估计,到2009年,该种群的数量 超过60只一一尽管最近的热图显示,现存的只有7只红颈小袋鼠。琼斯因其普及全球的私 人俱乐部帝国成为百万富翁,
24、而杨曾是荒岛唱片(Desert Island Discs)的主持人。这对夫 妇计划在岛上建造一个豪华的度假酒店、船库和相互连接的木板路,这一计划在提交给罗 蒙德湖和Trossach国家公园规划机构的申请中得到了展示。他们在申请中写道:“这个岛的环境正在恶化,并面临来自游客、反社会行为和食草动 物的压力。” “我们认为,需要一个大胆的、高质量的、全面的、可持续的以及长期的 计划来扭转林地的减少。”但在一份生态学家的报告中,却提到了在Inchconnachan地区 扑杀小袋鼠、小鹿和灰松鼠。“小袋鼠继续对林地地表植物和其再生带来负面影响。”其 他报告指出,鹿和小袋鼠是贪婪的食草动物,它们不理睬外来
25、的云杉,而是一头扎进本地 覆盆子灌木中挖地洞。现在,琼斯和杨坚称,他们从未打算射杀小袋鼠。在帕克汉建议寻找非致命的消除方 式后,这对夫妇表示,他们将转而研究搬迁问题。但苏格兰防止虐待动物协会(SSPCA)怀 疑这对夫妇能否找到一家动物园或野生动物园愿意为小袋鼠们重新安家,并认为这是不人 道的。当然,也反对杀戮。林地信托的乔治安德森说:“该地点地处集特殊科学价值、特殊保护和保护区内指定 的特殊区域为一身的区域,同时也位于一处国家公园内。如果这片古老森林在这里都不安 全,那就错得太离谱了。”【背景知识】罗蒙湖(Loch Lomond)坐落于公园中心,在整个英国找不到第二个比它更大抑或是可 与之媲美
