China railway threatened wildlife within a firm rebuttal to build Mongolian | | wildlife _ the Mongolian railway news

[Global times Guofang] "Kenya railways under construction threatened wildlife", 22nd local time, United States National Geographic magazine English website launched in long report, pointing to the Mombasa-Nairobi Railway (referred to as Mongolian Railways). The projects undertaken by Chinese companies. 24th, Mongolian railway projects in the global times, a staff reporter, in the article "untrue and unfair to" respond to the comments.

Mongolian railway known as Kenya's biggest infrastructure project since independence. At present, the main part of the project is moving forward rapidly, has been 56% of the completion of the overall project is expected July 2017, traffic operations. For now, emn through the Nairobi Park railway (Nairobi to Maraba) is starting.

In this stall, according to national geographic, Kenya is implementing a plan environmentalists--to install elephant tracking collars, tracking 12,000 average African elephants across the railway. This will help researchers better understand the destructive power of the railways.

"People are already saying this is a great wall of China through the Tsavo" the national geographic quoted grew up in West Tsavo National Park Gros was quoted as saying he fears Nairobi National Park are the same thing will happen. Reported that only 12 km long railway in the Nairobi Park, affect the park less than its total area of 1%. Even so, love Park in Kenya who said, "it's like laying a railway through the pyramids in Cairo."

"The railway cross the National Park it is helpless and must move", Mongolian railway project 24th told the newspaper reporters, Tsavo National Park covers an area of about 20,000 square kilometers, the Park, 240 km long from northeast to Southwest, and Mongolian railway alignments within the same rail cannot be totally avoided. Moreover, both Kenya A109 road and United Kingdom m rail divides the Park into Dong Chawo and xichawo, and in parallel with the A109 road and the track of the railway to avoid secondary damage to the Park. Through Nairobi National Park is in passing round and put Kenya Heritage House after two programmes cannot be achieved, the only optional programmes.

According to the global times, a reporter, for the protection of animals migrate reference lines, China train collision between 2007-2012 and wildlife accident cases, statistics of animal crossings, finalize the Mongolian railway channel location and number of animals should be set aside. Project to set up a boot facility, guide animals safely through the line. Lines on both sides set the fence to avoid animals crawl through and reduce animal and train collision probability. Installing the culvert wildlife passage at the WA, zebras and other animals to drinking water.

But national geographic question, the construction of such a railway is not necessary at all. The report said, Kenya's old railway was built 100 years ago, fast no more than 50 to 60 kilometers per hour. In 2013, a World Bank study found that refurbished railroad will be able to make Kenya's annual capacity will increase to 600 million tons.

For this statement, Mongolian railway project told the global Times newspaper said, because of its standard restrictions based on existing technologies, meter-gauge transport capacity not more than 4.5 million tons of capacity expansion the year after, impossible to make Kenya transport volume reached 600 million tons, unable to meet the transport demand growth of Mombasa. New standard gauge Mongolian railway vision designed annual transport capacity of 25 million tons, double cable electrification conditions and set aside. But from the point of view of animal protection and wildlife can be casual in most regions through the meter-gauge, directly causing the death of animal accidents abound. Mongolian railway are all used in totally enclosed in protective fencing.

From the national geographic reported that Kenya's official attitude: Kenya President thinks is necessary to the railway on the economic development of the country, ultimately reduces costs in the long term. Adjacent to Tsavo West National Park and Tsavo National Parks Deputy Director luobote·oubulin said, the animals in the Park will get used to the new railway.

中国公司反驳承建蒙内铁路威胁野生动物|蒙内铁路|野生动物_新闻资讯

　　[环球时报记者 郭芳]“肯尼亚在建铁路威胁野生动物”，当地时间22日，美国《国家地理》杂志在中英文网站推出长篇报道，将矛头指向蒙巴萨-内罗毕铁路（简称蒙内铁路）。该工程由中国公司承建。24日，蒙内铁路项目的工作人员接受《环球时报》记者采访，对文中“存在不实和有失公允”的言论作出回应。

　　蒙内铁路被称为肯尼亚独立以来最大的基础设施项目。目前，主体工程快速推进，已完成总体工程量的56%，预计2017年7月通车试运营。眼下，可能穿越内罗毕公园的内马铁路（内罗毕到马拉巴段）正在启动。

　　就在这个档口，《国家地理》报道称，肯尼亚环保人士正实施一项计划——给大象安装追踪项圈，追踪1.2万头普通非洲象如何穿越铁路。这将帮助研究者更深刻地了解铁路的破坏力。

　　“已经有人在议论说这是一条穿越察沃的中国长城”，《国家地理》援引在西察沃国家公园长大的格罗斯的话说，他担心内罗毕国家公园也会发生同样的事情。报道说，内罗毕公园内的铁路只有12公里长，影响的公园范围不足其总面积的1%。即便如此，对于热爱公园的肯尼亚人来说，“这就像是铺设一条穿过开罗金字塔的铁路一样”。

　　“铁路穿越国家公园实属无奈和必然之举”，蒙内铁路项目的工作人员24日告诉《环球时报》记者，察沃国家公园占地约2万平方公里，公园东北至西南最长有240公里，与蒙内铁路线路走向相同，铁路无法做到完全避免。而且，既有的肯尼亚A109公路和英国米轨将公园分为东察沃和西察沃，蒙内铁路与A109公路和米轨并行，避免了对公园的二次破坏。穿过内罗毕国家公园是在绕避和中穿肯尼亚遗产屋两个方案均无法实现后，唯一可选的方案。

　　据《环球时报》记者了解，为保护动物正常迁徙，中国公司参考既有线路2007至2012年间发生的列车碰撞野生动物事故案例，统计动物的过境点，最终确定蒙内铁路应该预留的动物通道位置和数量。项目同时设置引导设施，引导动物安全穿过线路。线路两侧设置隔离栅栏，以避免动物爬行通过，减少动物与列车相撞概率。在洼处设置涵洞式动物通道，方便斑马等动物饮水。

　　但《国家地理》质疑，建设这样一条铁路根本就没有必要。该报道说，肯尼亚的旧铁路是100年前修建的，时速最快不超过50至60公里。但世界银行2013年的一项研究发现，翻新旧铁路就能令肯尼亚的年运力增加到6亿吨。

　　对于这种说法，蒙内铁路项目的工作人员对《环球时报》记者说，因其本身标准的限制，根据现有技术，米轨扩能后年运输能力基本不会超过450万吨，绝无可能使得肯尼亚运量达到6亿吨，无法满足蒙巴萨港运输需求的增长。而新建标准轨蒙内铁路远景设计年运输能力可达2500万吨，并预留双线电气化改造条件。而且从动物保护的角度，野生动物可以在大多数区域随意穿行米轨，直接造成动物死亡的事故不胜枚举。蒙内铁路则全线采用全封闭式防护栅栏。

　　从《国家地理》的报道中可以看出肯尼亚官方的态度：肯尼亚总统认为这条铁路对国家经济发展是十分必要的，从长远来看最终可减少成本。毗邻的西察沃国家公园和东察沃国家公园的副主管罗伯特·欧布林说，公园中的动物会慢慢适应新建的铁路。
