1866-ൽ പാശ്ചാത്യ രാജ്യങ്ങളിലേക്ക് നിര്‍ജ്ജീവമായ മാതൃകകളെ തിരിച്ചയച്ച ഫ്രഞ്ച് മിഷനറിയുടെ പേരിലാണ് ‘മിലു’വിനെ ‘പിയർ ഡേവിഡിന്റെ മാൻ’ എന്നും വിളിക്കുന്നത്. ചൈനയിൽ ചിലപ്പോൾ ‘സിബുക്സിയാങ്’ (‘വ്യത്യസ്തമായ നാലെണ്ണം’), കാരണം ഇതിന് 4 മൃഗങ്ങളുടെ സാമ്യതയുണ്ട്. ‘പശുവിന്റെ കുളമ്പുണ്ടെങ്കിലും പശുവല്ല, ഒട്ടകത്തിന്റെ കഴുത്ത് എന്നാൽ ഒട്ടകമല്ല, മാനിന്റെ കൊമ്പുകൾ പക്ഷേ മാനല്ല, കഴുതയുടെ വാലുണ്ട്, പക്ഷേ കഴുതയല്ല’ എന്ന് പറയപ്പെടുന്നു.

1800-കളുടെ അവസാനത്തിൽ, ലോകത്തിലെ ഒരേയൊരു കന്നുകാലിയെ ടോങ്‌സി ചക്രവർത്തി നാൻയാൻ റോയൽ ഹണ്ടിംഗ് ഗാർഡനിൽ സൂക്ഷിച്ചിരുന്നു. കുറച്ച് മാനുകളെ യൂറോപ്യൻ മൃഗശാലകൾ വാങ്ങി. പിന്നീട് 1900-ൽ ചൈനയിൽ നടന്ന ബോക്‌സർ കലാപം ബാക്കിയുള്ള മാനുകളെ കൊന്ന് ഭക്ഷണത്തിനായി കഴിച്ചപ്പോൾ, അവശേഷിച്ചത് മൃഗശാലകളിൽ മാത്രമായിരുന്നു. ലോകം മാറിക്കൊണ്ടിരിക്കുന്നു, മനുഷ്യരുടെ പ്രവർത്തനങ്ങൾ ആവാസവ്യവസ്ഥയെ ബാധിക്കുന്നു, മൃഗശാലകളിൽ ഇപ്പോൾ കൂടുതൽ ജീവിവർഗ്ഗങ്ങൾ സംരക്ഷിക്കപ്പെടുന്നു.

മൃഗശാലകളെ കുറിച്ച് നിങ്ങളുടെ അഭിപ്രായം എന്താണ്?

Comments from Divya about the translation

This is an object from the Manchester Museum collection translated from English to the Indian language Malayalam.

Malayalam is a Dravidian language spoken very commonly in the Southern state of India called Kerala along with Indian territories Lakshadweep and Mahé, Puducherry.

Manchester has a vibrant Malayali community and a Manchester Malayalee association comprising of people from all age groups. This signifies the importance of having a translation in Malayalam of the museum objects thereby making the museum experience more welcoming, inclusive and wholesome.

    I enjoy visiting zoos and I hope the animals get treated well, but I do feel sorry for the animals as they have limited space to move around and they are in the public eye a lot of the time.

    الغزال ميلو

    يُعرف الغزال ميلو أيضًا باسم غزال بير دافيد، تيمنًا بالمبشر الفرنسي الذي أرسل عينات ميتة للغرب في عام 1866، أو يُعرف أحيانًا بالاسم الصيني “سيبوشيانغ” (أربعة غير متشابهة)، حيث يتشابه مظهره مع أربعة حيوانات أخرى. يُقال أنه يمتلك “حوافر بقرة ولكنه ليس بقرة، وعنق جمل ولكنه ليس جملة، وقرون غزال ولكنه ليس غزالًا، وذيل حمار ولكنه ليس حمارًا”.

    في أواخر القرن التاسع عشر، كان القطيع الوحيد في العالم يُحتفظ به في حديقة نانيوان الملكية للصيد بأمر من الإمبراطور تونغزي. تم شراء عدد قليل من الغزلان من قبل حدائق الحيوانات الأوروبية، وبالتالي، عندما أدت حركة الملاكمة في الصين عام 1900 إلى قتل الغزلان المتبقية واستهلاكها كطعام، بقيت النسخ الوحيدة في الحدائق الحيوانية. إن العالم يتغير، وتتأثر المواطن الطبيعية بالنشاط البشري، وتُحتفظ الآن بمزيدٍ من الأنواع في الحدائق الحيوانية. ما هو رأيك في الحدائق الحيوانية؟

    Este o zi speciala pentru a-mi reaminti istoria acestei caprioare pe care am auzit-o de la profesorii de istorie la liceu in Romania. Am vazut azi ceea ce am invatat acum cativa in liceu.

    Notes on culture
    The Bioparco di Roma is the oldest zoological garden in Italy. It was first inaugurated over 100 years ago, on 5 January 1911.
    Since then, the Bioparco has undergone drastic changes, evolving from a mere exhibition centre for exotic species to an active promoter of the conservation of biodiversity. It seeks to achieve this aim in three ways: preservation, education, and research.
    Firstly, the Bioparco is a member of EAZA (European Association of Zoos and Aquaria) and is committed to active participation in national and international conservation projects.
    Biodiversity conservation is crucial because it is threatened by deforestation, poaching, pollution, illegal trade, habitat destruction and climate change. For this reason, the Bioparco takes part in preservation projects in-situ (meaning in the animal’s natural habitat) and ex-situ (meaning outside of their natural habitat).
    Secondly, the zoological garden is committed to educating people to protect the environment and biodiversity. This is why the Bioparco regularly proposes environmental education activities for schools and the public at large to induce a concrete change of attitude and ensure that citizens and students are more sensitive and active towards the conservation of biodiversity.
    Finally, the Bioparco undertakes research to better understand animals and their behaviour. Modern zoos like the Bioparco allow us to investigate aspects of the lives of elusive and shy animals that, due to their characteristics, are difficult, if not impossible, to monitor in their natural habitat.
    Furthermore, Bioparco collaborates in its research activities with universities, other zoological facilities and national and international research organisations, whose aim is to investigate various aspects of a species, both veterinary and eco-ethological, such as nutrition, behaviour, health, or social organisation.
    I went to the Bioparco di Roma when I was an elementary school pupil. Even though it has been many years since then, I can still vividly remember the experience as it opened my eyes to the importance of biodiversity. Zoos have acquired a bad reputation throughout the decades and for good reason. Animals should not be exploited for entertainment, and it is encouraging to know that many agree with this statement now and are much more sensitive to animal rights. However, modern zoos can become an asset for biodiversity. As exemplified by the Bioparco di Roma, they can become a place to protect and understand animals and prevent their extinction in some cases.

    I talked to my children, and they all have positive opinions on zoos. Given good management and sufficient funds, a zoo is a great place to save and preserve animal species, especially endangered animals. Although some people may think that an animal in a zoo may not be as happy as they would be in their natural habitat as they have lost their freedom, in comparison to the difficult natural living conditions for some animals, being able to survive and reproduce is more important than the aspect of freedom.
