9月19日，户外运动品牌始祖鸟与知名艺术家蔡国强在西藏日喀则江孜县热龙地区，海拔5500米的喜马拉雅山脊线上搞了一场烟花秀。 这烟花秀爆火，但应该不是策划者期待的火，在一片破坏环境的骂声中，相关视频纷纷下架。始祖鸟与蔡国强也都出面道歉。 本文来自微信公众号：一个生物狗的科普小园 （ID：Story-about-Science），作者：Y博的科普园，题图来自：AI生成 因为从一些报道里我们能看出，放烟花的地方不仅不是保护区，而且本来就有一定的人类活动。 一个是始祖鸟事后声明提到"燃放前将牧民牲畜转移至安全距离"；另一个是有媒体报道距离燃放点300米就是青稞地： 有牧民放牧、旁边有农户种地，看来这块地方本来就有不少人类活动。 在青藏高原这种生态脆弱区域搞一个毫无必要的烟花秀，无疑该批。但是，网上一些抨击把事件后果说得像把喜马拉雅山炸了一样，也未免过于上 纲上线。 现在一些环保人士揪着没有搞环境评估这一点，批评不合规。是否所有在青藏高原的活动都要搞环评，以及具体到放烟花是否要搞环评，或是多大 规模的烟花需要环评，这可以讨论。 高原生态脆弱，经不起折腾。但始祖鸟、蔡国强搞的烟花秀毕竟只是短时间、一次性的活动，对环境的 ...
