四川藏族地区藏传佛教与野生动物保护的关系初探

笔者于1999年7～8月在四川省甘孜藏族自治州的石渠、白玉2个藏族聚居县进行藏传佛教与野生动物保护关系的调查。结果发现虽然当地藏民都信教，寺庙也都反对捕杀野生动物，但还有50％的被调查乡有打猎现象，对于狼（Canis lupus）和鼠兔（Ochotona spp.），分别有96％和98％的被访者认为应该消灭；对猛禽和有蹄类有好感的被访者分别有57％和45％。所有藏民都知道野生动物受国家法律和佛教的保护，当地寺庙给予藏民的约束力对野生动物保护有很大影响。政府应与寺庙合作进行野生动物保护及宣传工作。

A preliminary research on the relationship between Tibetan Buddhism and wildlife conservation in Tibetan zone of Sichuan Province

The questionnaire investigation of the relationship between Tibetan Buddhism and wildlife conservation was carried out in Shiqu and Baiyu counties of Sichuan Province from July to August 1999. According to the 44 questionnaire sheets from different sites, the authors found that hunting occurred in 50% villages investigated, 96% and 98% of local people insisted that the wolves ( Canis lupus ) and pikas ( Ochotona spp.) should be eliminated, respectively. The attitudes of 57% and 45% of local people toward the raptor and ungulates showed that they would not hunt them. As there is at least one temple in each village, the local temples play an important role in wildlife conservation. The authors suggest that the local government collaborate with the local temples on the issue of wildlife conservation.
