Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of environmental protection, specifically to a system for restoring the habitat of the Tibetan hot spring snake, including its wild snake dens. Background Technology

[0002] The Tibetan hot spring snake is a rare and endemic snake species in China, belonging to the genus *Tibetan hot spring snake* in the family Colubridae. It is one of the snakes with the highest altitude distribution in the world, mainly living in areas at altitudes of 3,500 to 4,400 meters on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

[0003] Tibetan hot spring snakes mainly inhabit rock piles, watersides, and marshy meadows near hot springs, relying on the geothermal heat of the hot springs to regulate their body temperature in order to adapt to the cold environment.

[0004] They are diurnal snakes that often bask in the sun or forage in rivers on sunny days, mainly feeding on fish, frogs, and small mammals.

[0005] The Tibetan hot spring snake is a Class I protected wild animal in China and is also listed as endangered in the 2022 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

[0006] Due to its narrow distribution area and small population size, and the fact that in recent years, the habitat of the Tibetan hot spring snake has been severely damaged by the development of geothermal power plants and other human activities, the population size has decreased significantly.

[0007] Although the existing patent 202311482891.4 - A near-natural ecological restoration system for roadside damaged wetlands involves the field of wetland ecological restoration technology, including regulating sedimentation ponds, vegetation-established slopes, and near-natural wetlands; the existing patent can realize in-situ ecological restoration or off-site ecological compensation of roadside damaged wetlands, which helps to promote the harmonious coexistence of highway construction and the natural environment; however, the existing ecological restoration technology does not directly protect the Tibetan hot spring snake.

[0008] Therefore, in order to improve or solve at least one of the above problems, it is necessary to optimize the existing Tibetan hot spring snake ecosystem. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to provide a snake nest structure that can provide a convenient habitat for Tibetan hot spring snakes.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0016] The covering structure also includes a soil layer; the soil layer is laid on the partition structure or / or the stone pile layer.

[0017] The snake nest also includes a ventilated structure, which is connected to the partition structure; the ventilated structure includes multiple ventilated pipes; each ventilated pipe is inserted into the partition structure.

[0018] Each of the aforementioned venting ducts extends from the partition structure to the outside of the cover structure.

[0019] Each of the ventilation ducts includes a transverse duct and a longitudinal duct; the transverse duct and the longitudinal duct are arranged to intersect; the ventilation duct has an L-shaped structure; the longitudinal duct is arranged towards the ground.

[0020] The adjacent partitions form a habitat, and each habitat is connected to at least one ventilation duct.

[0021] The covering structure is equipped with an entrance and exit for Tibetan hot spring snakes to enter and exit.

[0022] A Tibetan hot spring snake habitat restoration system includes a hot spring stream connected to a slow-flowing wetland; the slow-flowing wetland is connected to the hot spring stream via an inlet channel; the slow-flowing wetland is connected to an outlet channel; and a wild snake den for the Tibetan hot spring snake is provided at the edge of the slow-flowing wetland.

[0040] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and the description of the preferred embodiments.

[0041] A Tibetan hot spring snake den 101 is disclosed, comprising a ground pit 8, a partition structure 1, and a covering structure 6. The Tibetan hot spring snake den 101 disclosed in this invention provides a safe habitat for the Tibetan hot spring snake: through the design of the partition structure 1 and the covering structure 6, it provides the Tibetan hot spring snake with separated habitat space 4 and external protection, reducing the threat of natural enemies; the design of the stone pile layer 61 and soil layer of the covering structure 6, as well as its integration with wetlands, can simulate the natural environment and enhance the concealment and ecological adaptability of the snake den 101.

[0042] In this invention, the ground pit 8 is equivalent to a sinkhole structure. The setting of the ground pit 8 facilitates the placement and positioning of the partition structure 1. At the same time, it can work with the covering structure 6 to achieve stable placement of the partition structure 1, avoid the partition structure 1 from being affected by the external environment, and help ensure the stability of the overall structure of the snake nest 101.

[0043] In this invention, the ground pit 8, as part of the snake nest 101, can serve as a basic frame, providing stable support and spatial layout for the partition structure 1.

[0044] The depth and area of ​​the pit should be designed according to the partition structure 1 to ensure sufficient space for snakes to move around and inhabit.

[0045] A layer of fine sand or gravel can be laid at the bottom of the pit to keep it dry and prevent water accumulation.

[0046] In this invention, the partition structure 1 mainly includes multiple partitions 2: the partitions 2 are stacked in sequence to divide the internal space of the snake den 101 into multiple independent habitat areas, providing multiple independent hiding places and habitats for the Tibetan hot spring snake.

[0047] The partitions are arranged in parallel at intervals, and the adjacent partitions form a habitat space.

[0048] The material used to place partition 2 should be non-toxic, corrosion-resistant, and have a certain strength, such as wood, plastic, or cement; of course, other materials can also be selected according to other needs.

[0049] Spacing between partitions 2: Depending on the size of the Tibetan hot spring snake, the spacing between partitions 2 should be moderate, generally 10-20 cm, to ensure that the snake can move freely in and out, but also to prevent large predators from entering.

[0050] In this invention, the support mechanism mainly serves to support and elevate the partitions, facilitating the formation of an elevated area between adjacent partitions 2 to create a habitat space 4. The support mechanism mainly includes a support block 3, which is mainly used to support the partitions and prevent them from deforming or collapsing due to external forces or their own weight, thus ensuring the stability of the structure.

[0051] The support mechanism includes support blocks 3 arranged between adjacent partitions 2, with each support block 3 fitting against one partition 2 on each of its opposite sides. The material of the support blocks 3 should be the same as that of the partitions, such as wood. To ensure the support effect, the number of support blocks 3 can be selected as needed. Generally, five support blocks 3 are arranged between adjacent partitions 2, with one support block 3 at each of the four corners of the adjacent partitions 2 and another support block 3 in the middle area. This arrangement can effectively prevent the partitions 2 from deforming or collapsing.

[0052] Of course, in order to better ensure the overall structural stability of the partition structure 1, the support block 3 and the adjacent partition 2 can be locked and fixed with fasteners, such as screws.

[0053] In this invention, the covering structure 6 mainly includes a stone pile layer 61: the stone pile layer 61 mainly includes stones of various sizes and types, which are generally piled up around the ground foundation pit 8 and around and above the partition structure 1. The stone pile layer 61 mainly serves as external protection to prevent Tibetan hot spring snakes from being harmed by their natural enemies, such as eagles.

[0054] In this invention, the stone pile layer 61 is stacked around the partition structure 1, which serves to protect the internal environment of the snake nest 101 and reduce external interference, while simulating the natural environment and enhancing the concealment of the snake nest 101.

[0055] The thickness of the stone mound layer 61 should be designed according to the scale of the snake nest 101 and the local climate conditions.

[0056] The thickness is generally 30-50 cm to ensure sufficient insulation and protection.

[0057] The stones in layer 61 should be of moderate size and have smooth surfaces to avoid sharp edges that could harm the snake.

[0058] Meanwhile, in actual arrangement, the size of the lower stone layer 61 is required to be larger than that of the upper stone layer. Based on this design, the adjacent spacing of the lower stone layer 61 is larger, which can provide more space for the Tibetan hot spring snake to enter and exit, making it easier for the Tibetan hot spring snake to quickly enter and exit the snake nest 101 and avoid predators; at the same time, the size of the upper stone is smaller, which can reduce the compression of the stone layer 61 on the partition structure 1.

[0059] In this invention, each habitat space 4 is separated by adjacent partitions 2, providing Tibetan hot spring snakes with independent hiding places and reducing mutual interference between snakes.

[0060] The covering design of the partition structure 1 and the stone pile layer 61 can effectively block external predators, such as birds and felines, providing a safe habitat for the Tibetan hot spring snake.

[0061] By piling up the stone mound layer 61, the rock crevices in the natural environment are simulated, providing Tibetan hot spring snakes with habitat conditions similar to those in the wild, which helps them adapt and survive.

[0062] The design of the stone pile layer 61 and the foundation pit can utilize the heat-insulating properties of the soil and stones to regulate the temperature inside the snake nest 101, making it closer to the temperature range required by Tibetan hot spring snakes.

[0063] Furthermore, in this invention, the partition structures 1 are arranged in parallel with intervals, and adjacent partitions 2 form a habitat space 4. The support mechanism includes support blocks 3 arranged between adjacent partitions 2, and each support block 3 is attached to a partition 2 on its opposite sides. By designing the partitions 2 to be arranged in parallel with intervals, this invention forms multiple independent habitat spaces 4. This design can provide Tibetan hot spring snakes with multiple independent hiding places, meet their need for independent space, and reduce mutual interference between snakes.

[0064] Based on the size and habits of the Tibetan hot spring snake, the spacing between the partitions should be appropriate.

[0065] Generally, the spacing between small Tibetan hot spring snakes can be designed to be 10-15 cm, while the spacing between medium and large Tibetan hot spring snakes can be designed to be 15-20 cm.

[0066] The height of the partition structure 1 and the height at which the partition 2 is placed should be determined based on the overall design of the snake den 101 and the activity range of the Tibetan hot spring snake.

[0067] Generally, the height of the partition 2 can be designed to be 30-50 cm to ensure that snakes can move freely in and out while providing sufficient concealment.

[0068] The habitat space 4 formed between adjacent partitions 2 is the core functional area of ​​the snake den 101, providing Tibetan hot spring snakes with an independent hiding and resting place; the size of the habitat space 4 should be designed according to the size and number of Tibetan hot spring snakes.

[0069] Of course, the habitat space 4 cannot be designed to be too large to prevent large predators from entering, while it must be spacious enough to meet the activity needs of the Tibetan hot spring snake.

[0070] A soft material, such as hay, leaves, or fine sand, can be laid in the habitat 4 to improve the snake's comfort.

[0071] In addition, the main function of the support mechanism in this invention is to ensure the stability of the partition structure 1 and prevent the partition from deforming or collapsing due to external forces or its own weight; the support block 3 can be designed as rectangular or square, and the size should be determined according to the thickness and spacing of the partition.

[0072] Generally, the thickness of support block 3 can be designed to be 5-10 cm, and the width can be designed to be 10-15 cm.

[0073] The support block 3 and the partition plate 2 can be connected by screws, glue or welding to ensure a firm connection.

[0074] The surface of support block 3 should be polished to ensure it is smooth and burr-free, so as to avoid damaging the Tibetan hot spring snake.

[0075] When designing the snake den 101, the number and spacing of partitions 2 should be reasonably planned according to the number and size of Tibetan hot spring snakes to ensure that each habitat space 4 can meet the needs of the snakes.

[0076] The support blocks 3 should be evenly distributed to avoid deformation of the partition due to insufficient local support.

[0077] Sharp edges and burrs should be avoided as much as possible in the surface treatment of the partition and support block 3 to ensure the safety of the internal environment of the snake nest 101.

[0078] Simple hiding places, such as small wooden blocks or stones, can be set up in habitat space 4 to provide Tibetan hot spring snakes with more hiding options.

[0079] The design of the partition structure 1 should simulate the natural environment as much as possible. For example, a layer of natural materials (such as leaves, hay, etc.) can be laid in the habitat space 4 to enhance the ecological adaptability of the snake nest 101.

[0080] Furthermore, the covering structure 6 in this invention also includes a soil layer 62; the soil layer 62 is laid on the partition structure 1 or / or the stone pile layer 61; the soil layer 62 can simulate the soil structure in the natural environment, providing Tibetan hot spring snakes with habitat conditions closer to the wild.

[0081] The soil's heat retention, moisture retention, and aeration properties provide a comfortable living environment for snakes.

[0082] The soil layer can promote vegetation growth, attract insects and other small animals, provide a rich food source for Tibetan hot spring snakes, and enhance the ecological diversity of snake nest 101.

[0083] The soil has good heat retention properties, which can maintain the internal temperature of Snake Nest 101 in winter and prevent heat loss from happening quickly; in summer, it can block the high temperature from the outside and keep the inside cool.

[0084] The soil can absorb and retain a certain amount of moisture, providing a suitable humidity environment for Snake Nest 101. At the same time, the porous structure of the soil can ensure air circulation and prevent the accumulation of internal moisture.

[0085] Choose soil with good aeration and water retention, such as loam or humus. You can mix an appropriate amount of fine sand or gravel into the soil to further enhance aeration.

[0086] Laying a soil layer 62 can further enhance the protective performance of the snake nest 101, blocking external interference and attacks from predators; at the same time, the natural color and texture of the soil layer can better camouflage the snake nest 101, making it blend into the surrounding environment.

[0087] The surface of the soil can be covered with a layer of dead leaves or turf to further enhance concealment.

[0088] Furthermore, in this invention, through holes can be provided between the partitions 2 to facilitate communication between the connected partitions 2, thereby enabling communication between adjacent habitat spaces 4.

[0089] Furthermore, the snake nest 101 in this invention also includes a ventilated structure 5, which is connected to the partition structure 1; the ventilated structure 5 includes a plurality of ventilated pipes 51; each of the ventilated pipes 51 is inserted into the partition structure 1; in this invention, the ventilated pipes 51 provide a channel for air exchange inside the snake nest 101, ensuring that fresh air can enter while exhausting the internal waste gas.

[0090] The ventilation duct 51 should be designed to be wide enough to avoid obstructing airflow.

[0091] The diameter of the pipe can be adjusted according to the size of the snake den 101 and the number of snakes. A diameter of 5-10 cm is generally recommended.

[0092] In addition to its function of ventilation, the ventilation pipe 51 also facilitates the entry of Tibetan hot spring snakes into the snake nest 101.

[0093] Ventilation duct 51 helps to expel excess moisture from inside the snake nest 101, preventing the internal environment from becoming too humid, thereby reducing the growth of mold and bacteria.

[0094] The outlet of the ventilation duct 51 should be designed to be on the outside of the snake nest 101 to prevent moisture from circulating inside the snake nest 101.

[0095] Through air circulation, the ventilation pipe 51 can regulate the temperature inside the snake nest 101 to a certain extent.

[0096] In hot weather, air circulation can help dissipate heat.

[0097] Ventilation duct 51 should be kept away from direct sunlight as much as possible to reduce heat transfer.

[0098] Each habitat 4 is connected to at least one ventilation duct 51 to ensure air circulation.

[0099] For larger snake nests 101, the number of ventilation pipes 51 can be increased.

[0100] Ventilation ducts 51 should be evenly distributed in all habitat spaces 4 of the snake den 101 to avoid poor air circulation in certain areas.

[0101] The ventilation duct 51 should be inserted into the partition structure 1 to ensure that it is connected to the habitat space 4.

[0102] The ventilation duct 51 can be designed in an "L" shape or a "U" shape to adapt to different layout requirements.

[0103] Ventilation ducts 51 should be made of non-toxic, corrosion-resistant materials with a certain strength, such as PVC pipes, ceramic pipes, or metal pipes.

[0104] PVC pipes are a common choice because they are inexpensive, easy to process, and durable.

[0105] The inner wall of the ventilation duct 51 should be smooth to reduce the risk of injury to snakes moving inside the duct. If metal tubing is used, rust prevention treatment is recommended.

[0106] Ventilation duct 51 L-shaped structure: Ventilation duct 51 can be designed as "L" shaped, in which the horizontal duct 511 is connected to the partition structure 1, and the vertical duct 512 faces the ground or the outside.

[0107] This design effectively guides airflow while preventing rainwater or debris from entering the pipes.

[0108] Inverted U-shaped structure: If better drainage performance is required, it can be designed as a "U" shaped pipe to prevent rainwater backflow.

[0109] The ventilation duct 51 can be fixed in the partition structure 1 by plugging or threading.

[0110] Ensure the pipes are securely installed to prevent them from loosening due to external forces.

[0111] Furthermore, in this invention, each of the ventilation pipes 51 extends from the partition structure 1 to the outside of the covering structure 6; the ventilation pipes 51 extend from the partition structure 1 to the outside of the covering structure 6 (such as the stone pile layer 61 and the soil layer) to ensure that the air inside the snake nest 101 can be directly exchanged with the external environment.

[0112] This design can effectively expel exhaust gas and moisture from inside the snake nest 101 while introducing fresh air.

[0113] The outlet of the vent 51 should be located outside the covering structure 6, but should be protected from direct exposure to rain or sunlight.

[0114] The outlet can be designed in the gaps of the stone layer 61 or at the bottom of the soil layer to prevent rainwater backflow and debris from entering.

[0115] Outlet height: The outlet of the vent pipe 51 should be higher than the ground to prevent water from flowing into the snake nest 101; the outlet height is generally recommended to be 10-20 cm.

[0116] Furthermore, in this invention, each of the ventilation pipes 51 includes a transverse pipe 511 and a longitudinal pipe 512; the transverse pipe 511 and the longitudinal pipe 512 are arranged to intersect; the ventilation pipe 51 has an L-shaped structure; the longitudinal pipe 512 is arranged towards the ground; each ventilation pipe 51 is composed of a transverse pipe 511 and a longitudinal pipe 512, which are arranged to intersect to form an L-shaped structure.

[0117] The transverse pipe 511 is connected to the partition structure 1 and is responsible for introducing air into the burrow 4; the longitudinal pipe 512 extends to the outside of the covering structure 6 and is responsible for expelling air from the snake nest 101.

[0118] The L-shaped structure effectively guides air from the habitat 4 to the outside, while preventing rainwater or debris from directly entering the snake nest 101.

[0119] The longitudinal pipe 512 is arranged towards the ground, so even if rainwater flows into the pipe, it will be discharged along the longitudinal pipe 512 and will not flow back into the snake nest 101.

[0120] The horizontal pipe 511 connects the habitat space 4 with the vertical pipe 512 and is responsible for introducing air into the habitat space 4.

[0121] The horizontal tube 511 should be placed as close as possible to the top of the habitat space 4 to prevent snakes from directly contacting the tube and reduce the risk of snake injury.

[0122] The longitudinal duct 512 guides air from the transverse duct 511 to the outside of the covering structure 6 and discharges it into the snake nest 101; the longitudinal duct 512 should be arranged towards the ground and the outlet position should be higher than the ground to prevent rainwater backflow.

[0123] The recommended outlet height is 10-20 cm.

[0124] Furthermore, in this invention, a habitat space 4 is formed between adjacent partitions 2, and each habitat space 4 is connected to at least one ventilation pipe 51; the habitat space 4 formed between adjacent partitions 2 is the core area of ​​the snake den 101, providing an independent hiding and resting place for the Tibetan hot spring snake.

[0125] The size of habitat 4 should be designed according to the size and number of Tibetan hot spring snakes.

[0126] The height of the habitat 4 should be moderate, usually 30-50 cm, to meet the snake's activity needs, while avoiding excessive height that would waste space.

[0127] The ground of habitat space 4 can be covered with a soft material (such as hay, fine sand or leaves) to enhance comfort.

[0128] Each habitat 4 is connected to at least one ventilation duct 51 to ensure that air can circulate directly to each individual space, meeting the snake's respiratory needs and regulating the internal humidity.

[0129] Ventilation ducts 51 should be distributed as evenly as possible to avoid insufficient ventilation in some habitat spaces 4.

[0130] Furthermore, the covering structure 6 described in this invention is provided with an inlet / outlet 7 for Tibetan hot spring snakes to enter and exit; the inlet / outlet 7 facilitates the snake's entry and exit; the inlet / outlet 7 is a key part connecting the snake den 101 with the outside world, ensuring that Tibetan hot spring snakes can freely enter and exit the snake den 101, meeting their needs for foraging, activity and returning to their habitat.

[0131] The size and shape of the import / export 7 should be designed according to the size and habits of the Tibetan hot spring snake, avoiding being too large or too small.

[0132] The entrance / exit 7 needs to be designed to be narrow enough to prevent large predators (such as birds, felines, etc.) from entering the snake's den 101, while also being spacious enough to meet the snake's needs for entry and exit.

[0133] The shape of the entrance / exit 7 can be designed as a serpentine passage, with a smaller entrance and a gradually widening interior, which can both block predators and facilitate the entry and exit of snakes.

[0134] The design of the entrance / exit 7 should be as concealed as possible to avoid attracting attention from the outside world and enhance the overall concealment of the snake nest 101.

[0135] The entrance / exit 7 can be located on the side or bottom of the covering structure 6, blending into the surrounding environment. For example, it can be camouflaged using vegetation, rocks, or soil.

[0136] A Tibetan hot spring snake habitat restoration system includes a hot spring stream connected to a slow-flowing wetland 102; the slow-flowing wetland 102 is connected to the hot spring stream via an inlet channel 103; the slow-flowing wetland 102 is connected to an outlet channel 104; and a wild snake den 101 for the Tibetan hot spring snake is located at the edge of the slow-flowing wetland 102. The ecological restoration system disclosed in this invention mainly includes a hot spring stream, a slow-flowing wetland 102, and a snake den 101 connected thereto, aiming to provide a suitable habitat for the Tibetan hot spring snake while restoring and protecting the local ecological environment.

[0137] Hot spring streams: As a core part of the ecological restoration system, hot spring streams provide snakes with the necessary water source and temperature regulation function; the water temperature of hot spring streams is relatively stable, which can meet the needs of Tibetan hot spring snakes for a warm environment.

[0138] Slow-flowing wetland 102: Connected to the hot spring stream via the water inlet channel 103, the slow-flowing wetland 102 can slow down the water flow and provide a safer habitat and activity space for snakes.

[0139] Aquatic plants can be grown in wetlands to attract insects and other small animals, providing a rich food source for snakes.

[0140] Slow-flowing wetland 102 has an inflow bay; the frogs, toads and fish in slow-flowing wetland 102 are food for Tibetan hot spring snakes, while tadpoles and small fish can also be food for young snakes.

[0141] In this invention, the snake den 101 is located at the edge of the slow-flowing wetland 102, which facilitates the free movement of snakes between the slow-flowing wetland 102 and the snake den 101.

[0142] The ecological restoration system disclosed in this invention has the basic function of protecting the Tibetan hot spring snake, thereby maintaining or increasing its population.

[0143] Meanwhile, this invention enables water purification: the slow-flowing wetland 102 purifies the water quality of the hot spring stream and reduces pollutants through the action of aquatic plants and microorganisms.

[0144] The design of the slow-flowing wetland 102 and the snake den 101 takes into account the living habits of the Tibetan hot spring snake, providing a suitable temperature, humidity and hiding environment.

[0145] By creating diverse ecological environments, we can attract other wildlife and enhance the stability and biodiversity of the ecosystem.

[0146] In practical design, the ecological restoration system can also include some monitoring equipment, that is, the installation of monitoring equipment to monitor the snake's activities and changes in the ecological environment in real time, and take timely protective measures. This ecological restoration system not only provides a suitable habitat for the Tibetan hot spring snake, but also improves the ecological environment of the entire area through the ecological functions of wetlands.

[0147] Furthermore, the water inlet channel 103 and / or the water outlet channel 104 described in this invention are provided with a control valve structure 105 for controlling the water flow rate; in the Tibetan hot spring snake habitat restoration system, the control valve structure 105 provided on the water inlet channel 103 and the water outlet channel 104 is an important component for ensuring the ecological restoration function and maintaining a suitable environment.

[0148] By controlling the valve structure 105, the water flow rate of the slow-flowing wetland 102 can be controlled, enabling the slow-flowing wetland 102 to autonomously form a wetland environment, which will facilitate the provision of a food environment for the Tibetan hot spring snake.

[0149] In this invention, the main function of the control valve structure 105 is to regulate the water flow rate of the inlet channel 103 and the outlet channel 104 to ensure that the water level, water flow rate and water quality of the wetland and snake nest 101 meet the requirements of ecological restoration.

[0150] Specific functions include: regulating water flow: by controlling the opening and closing of the valve and adjusting the position of the valve core, the water flow can be precisely controlled to meet the water demand of the wetland ecosystem.

[0151] Ensure ecological flow: Ensure that the water level and flow rate of the wetland and Shewo 101 are appropriate, and avoid the adverse effects of excessively fast or slow water flow on the ecological environment.

[0152] Water quality control: By controlling the water flow rate and volume, the wetland's ability to purify pollutants is promoted, thus maintaining good water quality.

[0153] The control valve structure 105 can use the existing sluice gate valve structure, or it can be designed into other valve body structures as needed.

[0154] This invention

[0155] A habitat restoration system for the Tibetan hot spring snake mainly focuses on restoring the core elements of its habitat.

[0156] First, there is the protection of hot spring resources: Tibetan hot spring snakes rely on the heat energy of hot springs to regulate their body temperature, so it is necessary to protect the hot springs and the surrounding heat energy resources to avoid interference from geothermal development.

[0157] Wetland restoration: The habitat of the Tibetan hot spring snake is usually closely related to wetlands. It is necessary to restore and protect still water wetlands to provide suitable habitats and breeding grounds for the snake.

[0158] Stone mounds and vegetation restoration: Tibetan hot spring snakes often move around in stone mounds and hide from predators, so it is necessary to preserve or rebuild a certain area of ​​stone mounds and plant native vegetation to provide shelter and food sources.

[0159] Improvement of ecosystem functions

[0160] Food chain reconstruction: Tibetan hot spring snakes feed on fish, frogs, etc., so it is necessary to reintroduce or protect their food sources, such as the heterodont schizothorax, plateau loach, and frogs.

[0161] Obviously, the specific implementation of this invention is not limited to the above-described methods. Any non-substantial improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of this invention are within the protection scope of this invention.
