530 Sharing Chinese experience

The resettlement center is like a prison.

The man-eating tiger being held here is the one who committed the crime of "intentional homicide".

The convict in the prison has a talker, and this talker doesn't need to guess, it must be the man-eating tiger that has eaten four people.

The ferocity of its display has convinced the other man-eaters.

It has just caught this one, and it knows that it is basically impossible to get out, so if it wants to survive here with peace of mind, it must bluff to attract the attention of the person who speaks and gain the recognition of its other companions.

Although they are both a species of tiger.

They are all sinners.

But this small prison is also a river and lake.

Liu Wei's thinking is divergent, guessing what the tigers think, the animal world is an interesting world.

After placing the man-eating tiger.

The staff pushed a cart of beef.

See bloody beef.

The tigers were excited.

They have developed the habit of opening their mouths when they eat.

The staff threw a large chunk into each cage.

The tiger tilts its head and nibbles on the beef.

The staff said: "Each tiger eats 40 kilograms of meat every day!"

Liu Wei asked, "Are they all fed beef?"

The staff nodded.

If calculated according to the price of domestic beef, a man-eating tiger eats nearly 3,500 yuan of beef every day, and there are more than a dozen of them locked up here, and their daily food expenses exceed 40,000 yuan.

"The cost is a bit high!" Liu Weidao.

Tom: "Liu, I was just about to discuss this with you, I know that China's Siberian Tiger Forest Park is very successful, and Academician Ma Rongsheng, who initiated the establishment of the Siberian Tiger Forest Park, has always been the object of my study, and I have studied many of his papers.

Liu, do you know him?"

Liu Wei nodded: "I have been to the Siberian Tiger Forest Park, Academician Ma Rongsheng is a master of feline research in China, and I am his student!"

Liu Wei smiled slightly.

"That's great!", Tom was a little excited, "let's go to the office and talk, I'd like to talk to you about the development of the childcare center!"

Liu Wei said modestly: "Regarding the development model of the Siberian Tiger Forest Park, I only know the surface!"

"Enough is enough!"

Tom smiled and invited Liu Wei to the office, he knew that Liu Wei was a little modest, and he knew how many catties Liu Wei had since they got along in the past two days.

He is also more eager to improve the current situation of the conservation center, which is related to the continuation of the entire Sumatran tiger species.

Walk into the office.

Liu Wei set up the live broadcast mobile phone, sat on the sofa, and Tom poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.

"Thank you!"

Liu Wei took a sip of water, "You can tell me about the operation of the nursery center first!"

Tom shook his head with a sad look on his face, "The current funding for the conservation center is mainly supported by the Indonesian Forestry Agency and the Sumatran Tiger Conservation Fund.

And you see today that the living expenses of Sumatran tigers are also very high, and this is not counting other expenses such as medical treatment.

I'm worried that the nursery will be underfunded!"

Liu Wei nodded after listening, realizing Tom's concern.

The money organized by the Foundation is mainly from the society, and the instability is too high.

The Forestry Department of India will also have limited funding to protect Sumatran tigers, not to mention that the local government has some unexplained illegal activities.

Liu Wei said: "The Siberian Tiger Forest Park has a very good operation model, using tigers to raise tigers!"

When Tom heard this, he became interested and asked: "I have seen the term tiger raising tiger before, Liu, can you tell me about the specific situation?"

Liu Wei: "Raising tigers with tigers, as the name suggests, is to rely on tigers to raise themselves, the Siberian Tiger Forest Park is an open forest park, there are a lot of feline mysteries in this world, especially tiger riddles, just like the audience who watched my live broadcast, they especially like tigers."

The Siberian Tiger Forest Park attracts domestic and foreign tourists with its strong wild interest and charming charm, and receives more than 250,000 visitors every year.

Roughly calculated, this is a huge income, which is enough for the tiger to live, and the money from the foundation and the government can be invested more in scientific research.

It's a virtuous circle!"

Tom nodded repeatedly, he had a similar idea in his heart, and some of the nursery centers are currently open to the public, but the income and expenditure are not balanced.

He continued to ask, "Liu, can you be more specific?"

Liu Wei smiled: "The Siberian Tiger Forest Park has 11 tourist attractions, including the wild domestication area, the adult tiger area, the breeding tiger area, the tiger breeding area, the lion tiger area, the African lion area, the tiger king area, the tiger cub area, the walking area and the tiger viewing platform.

These attractions not only provide viewing services for visitors, but also distinguish tigers of all ages, which helps them grow, as well as the management and domestication of the staff.

The most important role is to educate and educate tourists, and the residents living in Sumatra, including some local officials, lack awareness of protection and need a certain amount of publicity.

Through publicity and popularization, it can attract more tourists!"

Tom couldn't help but clapped his palms, "Liu, this method is really great, I need to communicate with the local forestry bureau, I believe that the model of raising tigers with tigers is also suitable for Sumatran tigers!"

He knew that what Liu Wei proposed was only a conceptual framework, and that there would definitely be more problems in promoting this model in Indonesia.

But Tom is very determined, otherwise he would not have come to Indonesia from the Zoological Society of London, and he would have been here for almost ten years.

In his eyes, there is nothing more important than protecting the Sumatran tiger.

"I have visited the Sumatran tiger conservation center in the past two days, and there is a problem that you should pay attention to!" Liu Wei reminded.

"Liu, speak quickly!"

Tom has thrown himself into the role of a seeker of knowledge.

He had never been so eager to listen to a person's advice.

Liu Wei said: "The wild domestication of the Sumatran tiger.

Tom, we all know that only the mountains and forests are the ideal living environment for tigers, and the tigers bred in the nursery must be released into the wild to ensure the continuation of the entire wild Sumatran tiger population.

Of course, environmental protection is a very important factor, and this mainly depends on the coercive measures of the government.

And the rewilding training of the Sumatran tiger is directly related to whether it can adapt to the wild environment.

We can't just rely on physical health tests to judge, we must know that even the Siberian tigers in the Siberian Tiger Forest Park that have passed the wild training may not be able to adapt to the wild environment, let alone the Sumatran tigers who have only done some physical health checks.

Rewilding is a process that requires adaptation from the birth of cubs, until the entire rewilding training is completed and the tiger can survive in the wild and then reproduce on its own.

The Sumatran tiger conservation center has not invested enough in this area, especially the rewilding training system based on the Sumatran tiger's own behavior and living habits needs to be implemented as soon as possible, and some professional and technical personnel should be introduced!"
