Chapter 75, Africa

Ye Kai did not lie to Saoirse, this time he came to Hong Kong Island with two things to do, one of which was of course to put Saoirse on the plane in Ireland.

And that's just by the way.

Saoirse is more resilient and adaptable than she is, and she really doesn't need to be picked up when she flies back to Ireland on her own.

The second thing is to join the International Wildlife Conservation Society.

After becoming an unemployed vagrant, Ye Kai's only dream is to travel around the world with a camera, and the problem of visas to other countries has always bothered him.

You have to find a way to get a work visa that can go to most countries, otherwise it will be too much trouble to use a tourist visa alone.

Ye Kai checked a lot of information in the past few days before discovering the path of international organizations.

The Wildlife Conservancy is one of The Nature Conservancy's agencies, and its core members can obtain a work visa recognized by the United Nations, which allows members of the organization to enter most countries in the United Nations.

The association recruits many volunteers every year. And photographers, especially good photographers, are very scarce among volunteers, after all, not every photographer is a caring person.

Volunteers don't earn anything, and the profession of a photographer is quite expensive.

Corresponding to the difficulties, the photographer has a lot of freedom in the work of the association. Take the required photos and upload them to the association, and your work is done.

The premise is that the quality of the photos must be guaranteed, at least to be able to impress people's hearts.

Ye Kai wanted to try to be a volunteer first, and the Animal Protection Association's lenient management of photographers made Ye Kai naturally have a great impression of them.

Huaxia's branch is located on Hong Kong Island, which is why Ye Kai came to Hong Kong Island.

In a building in Victoria Harbour, Ye Kai met Rachel, the head of the Asia region, an American woman in her 30s, with her blond hair tied together and a shirt that looked neat.

Rachel flipped through Ye Kai's travelogue and said, "We need a photographer who can write articles, but do you really want to join? Volunteers don't have any income, I have to tell you this in advance." ”

"Of course I know that volunteers don't get paid, isn't it obvious? The book has been paid for a while and I think it's a good idea to do what I love. ”

Rachel closed the book and smiled, "You know, I've met a lot of guys who think we're rich." ”

The things that Ye Kai knew before were all found on the Internet, and here in Rachel, Ye Kai asked everything he wanted to ask, and only after confirming it did he sign the certificate.

[You have joined an animal protection organization, and all animals have an initial intimacy value of X3 to you]

[You're about to get a job as a photographer, and you now know more about photography]

After the signing was completed, the smile on Rachel's face became even stronger, just looking at Ye Kai's information and photos taken, it was enough to prove that he was a very powerful photographer.

Rachel picked up a set of documents from the table and said, "Volunteers usually stay abroad for six months at a time, so the photographer's assignment is almost half a year, and if it's convenient for you now, there is just something to do here." ”

"I haven't had much trouble lately. Ye Kai took the file.

This is a data on the poaching of African elephants, and in recent years countries have banned the killing of wild animals, but because of the ban, the price of ivory has been raised.

Today, more African elephants are being killed by poachers for ivory.

Rachel sighed, leaned back on the table, and said, "The more forbidden they are, the more crazy those people become." We've sent people to Africa to set up a conservation base, and your purpose in the past was to photograph what's going on, preferably in a report. ”

Perhaps because he was afraid that Ye Kai would feel dangerous and refused, Rachel continued to explain: "You just want to stay in the base and don't have to face poachers. ”

Ye Kai nodded and said, "I want to go, but I need to buy some more equipment." ”

Since photography technology has advanced by leaps and bounds with the help of the system, Ye Kai wanted more equipment to realize his ideas, and he couldn't shoot animals too far away in Africa, Ye Kai needed a lens to shoot a long shot.

...... In-flight ......

Don't give indigenous languages?

After landing, Ye Kai calculated the time of the flight, and it took a total of 20 hours to fly to Africa after he left the hotel, which was farther than flying to Ireland.

The time of landing was the morning in Zambia.

Ye Kai had slept on the plane, so he was still relatively energetic when he arrived in Africa.

Arriving in Africa with Ye Kai were three Chinese volunteers, pure animal protection people, who were different from people like Ye Kai who mixed visas.

Ye Kai got off the plane with his suitcase, still carrying a suitcase in his hand.

Inside the suitcase are cameras and lenses, as well as a small drone.

"It's so desolate, here. ”

The person who spoke was one of the three volunteers in the same group, Chen Zhai, a college student in his 20s who had just graduated. The other two are considered to be members of the Animal Protection Society for a long time.

The fatter one is called Song Leyong, and there is a yellow man who has been tanned black, called Hong Wenlin.

Hong Wenlin carried his big bag and said, "I'll get used to seeing too much, let's go, someone outside will pick us up." ”

If someone has ever seen the drying field of grain drying in rural China, it is estimated that they can understand what this airport looks like, it is like a 100-fold magnified drying field.

There are no walls on the sides, mountains at the end of the view, and the terminal in the distance is a row of low houses, which should have worked for many years, and they are very dilapidated.

"Is this the case in Africa?" Ye Kai asked.

"No, the rest of Zambia is not bad, it's closer to the grasslands, it's a fringe city in Zambia, and it's nice to have an airport. ”

Song Leyong replied with a smile.

He and Hong Wenlin both had a lot of luggage, which made Ye Kai a little worried about whether he would bring less daily necessities.

Stepping out of the airport's aisle, the exterior looks a little more modern.

There are a lot of people who pick up the airport standing outside the guardrail, and there is a large parking lot in the distance, there are many vehicles, and they are all relatively good, Ye Kai did not find any cars below 200,000 here, almost all of them are off-road vehicles.

The scenery is the same as that Ye Kai saw in Tibetan areas, where the environment is a little more difficult, the practicality of the sedan will be greatly reduced, and the vehicles used are all sturdy off-road.

A black man holds a sign with the logo of a wildlife conservation organization and the name of Hongwenlin written on it.

When they met, both Hongwenlin and the black man were smiling happily, and if they didn't carry so much luggage, a hug would definitely be indispensable.
