Chapter 912 Protecting the Tibetan Antelope
In this case, the zoological research institute has not been very good, their projects are more difficult to apply for funding than the academy of social sciences and the like, only some genetic and immunological medical-related projects are better to apply for scientific research funds, and those animal breeding and conservation projects often have to be ranked behind, unable to apply for funding or apply for very little funding.
Now there are 40 million in front of us, can we not hurry up and seize the opportunity?
Lu Guozheng was already worried, he wanted to slap himself in the face again, what kind of cash did he bring here, didn't this make it clear that he was tossing Xiao Peng blindly?
He really didn't want to waste his time here right now. But looking at Xiao Peng's spirit, isn't this going to leave?
"Xiao Peng, are we going back to Qindao first and give me that painting?" Lu Guozheng thought of a good reason for Xiao Peng to go back early.
"Oh, that painting, it's in my car, you can take it at any time. Xiao Peng said with a smile.
Lu Guozheng is completely devastated, and you just carry millions of paintings with you?
In less than an hour, the two Passat cars arrived at the horse farm, and the Institute of Zoology drove here for at least two hours, and God knows how many tickets they could get along the way.
Not only Kang Le, the director of the Institute of Zoology, but also the secretary of the party committee, the deputy secretary of the party committee, and several deputy directors came. That's 40 million! How many projects in the Institute of Zoology are in a state of 'no rice to cook'? Not to mention 40 million, even if it is only 1 million, it is enough for a few people to run here------ 1 million is at least enough for a few basic projects to be put into operation.
Who makes no money? People are poor, horses, thin and long, aren't they?
Kang Le got out of the car and trotted all the way. It's really exciting to see.
When he saw the money box placed there, he was almost too excited to speak, looking at Xiao Peng and Lu Guozheng standing there, several people sped up their pace. Xiao Peng also saw Kang Le clearly at this time, he looked like he was in his fifties, with rimless glasses, his body was a little fat, and his hair was very neatly groomed. Even though it's hot now, I'm still wearing a crisp suit.
Kang Le and the others ran to the two of them, and Kang Le looked excitedγγγγγγ He shook Lu Guozheng's hand: "Boss Xiao, on behalf of all the researchers in the Institute of Zoology, I would like to express my gratitude to you! Thank you for your contribution to animal scientific research!"
He thought it was simple, he buttoned up his big hat first, but he didn't want to run in vainγγγγγγ
As a result, everyone at the scene was embarrassed, and Du Weiguo coughed dryly: "That, Kang, the one next to me is Boss Xiao." β
Kang Le hadn't let go of Lu Guozheng's hand, and when he heard Du Weiguo's words, he was like an electric shock, and directly threw Lu Guozheng's hand aside, and looked at Xiao Peng with an embarrassed face: "Xiao γγγγγγ Boss Xiao, I didn't expect you to be so youngγγγγγγ The afterlife is terrible, and the afterlife is terrible. β
Kang Le looked at Du Weiguo with a resentful expression, thinking to himself, why didn't you tell me earlier that Xiao Peng was so young?
But this is not the time to blame him. Kang Le looked at Xiao Peng with an embarrassed face: "Boss Xiaoγγγγγγ β
Xiao Peng waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not the first time this kind of situation has happened, I'm used to it." β
Kang Le saw Xiao Peng cough dryly: "Okay, Boss Xiao, I'm really embarrassed." Well, I heard you're going to set up a research fund?"
Xiao Peng nodded, pointed to the stack of money boxes and said: "That's right, I really don't bother to move around with such a pile of money given to me today, so let's just establish an animal research fund, which can be regarded as contributing to animal research in our country." β
Kang Le almost fainted with excitement after hearing this: "It's great, it's good, it's goodγγγγγγ How is that fund managed?"
Xiao Peng was choked, the establishment of this fund is not so simple, including the whereabouts of each fund, and the application of each fund must be managed by someone, otherwise it will be really troublesome. It is easy to be investigated for money laundering.
Xiao Peng scratched his head: "How about making it a donation?"
Everyone was speechless. It's okay to set up a fund of 40 million, at least you can make a name, you say donate it, do you have a grudge against money?
"Boss Xiao, are you kidding?" asked Kang Le.
Xiao Peng shrugged: "I'm really not joking, I'm afraid of trouble, aren't I?"
Kang Le took a breath and stabilized his emotions: "Boss Xiao, thank you very much for your support to our Institute of Zoology, and I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to you on behalf of all the researchers of the Institute of Zoology." Thank you also for believing in our Zoological Institute and giving us so much money, but I would still like you to set up a fund instead of giving the money directly to our Zoological Institute. β
"Huh?" Xiao Peng is interested, what does this mean?
Kang Le said: "Eh, how do you say about this? I heard that Boss Xiao has been to Africa, and he has also taken over the South China Tiger Rewilding Project?"
If it weren't for Xiao Peng's usual absence from living here, he would have come to meet Kang Le a long time ago.
Xiao Peng smiled: "Of course, otherwise why are there so many Malagasy animals here?
Kang Le said: "I have been to Africa, after all, there are rich and colorful animal resources, I don't know if Boss Xiao found a problem? Some countries in Africa are poor to death, some countries are rich to death, neighboring countries are worlds apart, and those poor countries, even if the whole world is donating to them, they still can't get rich, have you considered why?"
Xiao Peng thought for a while: "I once saw such a thing in Mali, where malaria attacks were very bad, and the main reason was mosquito infection, so our country sent them a lot of free mosquito nets, but after they received the article, they did not use it to prevent mosquitoes, but made it into a wedding dress and other costumes to play." Maybe you think that the things you give away for nothing are not good, so you might as well use them for entertainment, right?"
Kang Le said: "You're right, in fact, a lot of funding will only make them more lazy. Giving money to the poor is really not a suitable form of assistance and sometimes encourages corruption. You see those rich people doing charity, Run Run Run Shaw built more than 30,000 teaching buildings, David Rockefeller donated hospitals and medical equipment, and Ma Yun's goal of doing charity is to donate to rural teachers who are struggling on the front line, or people who plant trees. These spiritual donations will make people more grateful, and distribute and use donations in a more organized and orderly manner. β
"What does that have to do with this money?" Xiao Peng was puzzled: "You don't want this money?"
"No, no, no, how is it possible, this money is really important to us, but donating it directly to us like this is actually not a good thing, after all, it will make everyone look at this money, who can get it? Who can't get it? Who will take more? Who will take less? These are all problems. If we were to handle the funds, it would be easy for internal problems to arise. Kang Le said.
Xiao Peng stretched out his thumb: "Director Kang, you can take the initiative to say this, that means that I am not wrong with this money." But...... Kang Suo, I really don't have time to take care of this fund. β
Narnia, who was on the side, listened to Xiao Peng's words, raised her little hand and said, "Uncle Xiao, I have time, I can take care of it." β
Xiao Peng couldn't help but laugh: "Narnia, don't make trouble, do you know what we're talking about?"
Narnia nodded, "Isn't it just to protect the little lemurs here?" I like themγγγγγγ β
Xiao Peng smiled: "Narnia, this is really not just as simple as protecting the little lemur. Thousands of animals are at stake. β
Jimma took over: "Anyway, I'm idle now, leave this matter to me." Didn't you set up a wildlife conservation fund anyway? β
At that time, after Xiao Peng won the South China Tiger Rewilding Project, it became an animal protection fund, which was convenient to provide funds for the South China Tiger Reserve in South Africa and for the Madagascar animals in the horse farm. Now it's just right to put the 40 million here.
Xiao Peng smiled: "Okay, then this matter will be handed over to you in the future, but the question is: we still have to send the 40 million to the bank, are you bothered." β
But this matter definitely doesn't need Xiao Peng to do, Huang He has already arranged for someone to send the money to the bank. Lu Guozheng was anxious at this time: "Xiao Peng, when are you going home?"
"Ah, go home, why do you want to go home? Isn't it good to be here? Kang Institute, what are you in a hurry about now? Let's just hurry up now. Xiao Peng still didn't want to go back.
Kang Le thought for a while: "Boss Xiao, there is really a project that is more important. Actually, we have been working on this project for a long time, but we have been struggling with funding, so it has not been going well. β
"Oh, what project?" Xiao Peng asked.
Kang Le replied, "Track the migration of Tibetan antelopes. β
Xiao Peng whistled, this is a good project.
Tibetan antelope is a national first-class protected animal, because it is often in a sub-zero environment, the whole body is thick and dense, and the bottom fleece made of it is called 'Shatush', which is recognized as the most exquisite and softest shoulder in the world, and the price is very high, known as soft gold. Moreover, the Tibetan antelope is full of treasures, the horn is a precious medicinal material, and the sheep's head can be processed into high-end ornaments, so the Tibetan antelope has become the target of illegal poachers, and tens of thousands of Tibetan antelopes die at the hands of poachers every year.
At that time, there was a warrior named Jaisang Sonam Dajie, who established the 'Western Working Committee' in '92 to protect the ecological environment of Hoh Xil, and organized an armed anti-poaching team, named the 'Wild Yak Team', but two years later, Sonam Dajie died surrounded by eleven poachers. The movie "Ke Ke Xili" was shot based on his story.
It is also because of his death, the country attaches importance to the west, from 98 years, the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve Administration was formally established, specifically to crack down on poachers, under the country's vigorous crackdown, Hoh Xil has not had poaching for ten years, and the population of Tibetan antelopes has also recovered to 300,000. In the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, a migration channel for Tibetan antelopes has been reserved, there are special traffic lights on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, and Tibetan antelopes are also included in the mascots of the Olympic Gamesγγγγγγ
However, the number of Tibetan antelopes has not increased significantly, in large part because of a group of silly outdoor enthusiasts.
Now Hoh Xil is packaged as a travel product by many outdoor groups and travel agencies, and watching the great migration of Tibetan antelopes has become the biggest gimmick in this tourist route. Many tourists especially like to drive to chase the Tibetan antelope, watching the panicked appearance of the Tibetan antelope, and proudly shooting small videos to show off.
Such a person is a pure fool, because the Tibetan antelope lives on a plateau at an altitude of 4,000 meters, and if the heart is overloaded and congested for a long time, such a chase will cause the Tibetan antelope's heart to burst and die! Such a person is absolutely 'stupid and stupid'!
Even if you don't know this, any person of sound mind knows that the Tibetan antelope is a national first-class protected animal! Driving a car to chase a first-class protected animal? What is this not brain-dead?
The key reason why the Tibetan antelope is difficult to protect is its migratory habits.
Tibetan antelopes migrate to complete their breeding, except for a few areas where there are small non-migratory populations, the vast majority of female Tibetan antelopes will migrate long distances to give birth, and then return to their original habitat after giving birth. Migrating in April and May every year, giving birth in June and July, and November to January of the following year is the mating time, except for these two months, the male and female Tibetan antelope are basically separate.
And it is this way of life that baffles all biologists. Because pregnancy and lactation are energy-intensive activities, why do female Tibetan antelopes migrate long distances? There is a lot of speculation here, some say it is for food, some say it is to avoid predators, and some say it has something to do with rainfallγγγγγγ
If these reasons are not clarified, it will be very detrimental to the protection of Tibetan antelopes. Therefore, since 2013, relevant scientists from the National Academy of Animal Science and Technology have begun to cooperate with the 772 Institute of Huaxia Aerospace Science and Technology Group to develop the 'Beidou positioning collar' based on China's Beidou navigation satellite, which is used to study the migration of Tibetan antelopes and find the correct birthing ground, so as to better protect Tibetan antelopes.
In this way, they found the largest Tibetan antelope calving ground so far at the foot of the Sewu Snow Mountain, and then they can provide protection in the calving ground, after all, the grassland resources are limited, and increasing the amount of forage in the calf can be of great help to protect the Tibetan antelope calf.
Of course, this method is good, but there is also a problem, that isγγγγγγ Lack of money!
