The name Quan Li is unfamiliar to many Chinese people, but in the animal protection circle, this name can be described as a famous name.

The original name of this Tiger Valley is not called Tiger Valley, but after the South China Tiger landed in China, this land located in the grassland of the non-South Central Free State Province about 30,000 hectares was called Tiger Valley.

As we all know, the South China tiger is a unique species in China, and now it is extinct in the wild, there are only more than 100 South China tigers in the whole world, and these more than 100 South China tigers are actually all descendants of six South China tigers, and there is a serious phenomenon of degeneration of close relatives.

Moreover, these South China tigers are all bred in captivity, and they have no ability to live in the wild at all. Otherwise, the South China tiger will become extinct sooner or later.

It would be a shame if the South China tiger went extinct. After all, this tiger is unique to China. How to rewild South China tigers has become a very important topic in the Chinese biosphere!

At this time, a woman named Quan Li stepped forward and established the International Foundation for Saving the South China Tigers, offering to bring the South China tigers to South Africa for rewilding training.

This incident caused an uproar. After all, people who know a little bit about biology and have a little common sense about the rescue of wild animals will be stunned when they hear that South China tigers are being sent to South Africa for rewilding training.

You know, the South China tiger is a forest animal, while South Africa is a grassland in the Atsai zone. The predation patterns between the two places are very different. The climate and natural conditions in South Africa are very different from those of South China tigers.

It is unclear how Quan Li's International Foundation for Saving South China Tigers persuaded the State Forestry Administration to carry out the rewilding of South China tigers in South Africa, but the project has been controversial since its inception.

There are no tigers in Africa, tigers are solitary animals, forest species, and you can understand it if you throw them into the tropical rainforest, but is it appropriate to throw them on the savannah? Besides, even if these tigers are really wild, once these tigers return to China, will they be able to adapt to the environment and food of China?

But anyway, Quanli's Tiger Valley has taken root in South Africa, and oh, the rewilding training center is open for tours, and it charges a lot of admission, which is a very good tour.

Since 2012, Quan Li has completely given up her identity in the South China Tiger International Foundation and divorced her husband. She also admitted in court that she and her husband had squandered some of the funds from the South China Tiger International Foundation to maintain a luxurious lifestyle! And Lu, director of the National Wildlife Research and Development Center, who had fully supported her back then, was no longer the Chinese head of the South China Tiger Wildflower Project, and had dumped all the problems related to the rewilding project to the State Forestry Administration.

Quan Li's current life has nothing to do with the South China Tiger, and she often haunts the local Chinese political activities in the Eagle Country, and her identity has become the co-founder of the Eagle Country Chinese Women's Forum.

In the more than 10 years since the implementation of the South China Tiger Rewilding Project, the South China Tiger International Foundation has raised funds through all possible means, and Quan Li herself has frequently appeared to expand the influence of the project, but the use of funds for the entire foundation has never been announced to the outside world.

In fact, since the end of 2013, this South China tiger rewilding project has become the Huaxia Forestry Bureau to wipe their butts. The saddest thing is that these wild tigers are now home and difficult to return! There is no place for people in China to put them, so where can these tigers who need huge living space be placed?

Now the tiger in Africa is also a headache, after all, this is also a national treasure of China, so many people are staring, it will definitely not work if you don't give an explanation. But if you want to solve it now, it's really hard to do, so you have to delay it.

As an animal protection expert, Kevin is naturally familiar with the South China tiger project. He was also an opponent of the project back then.

So he didn't understand, what did Xiao Peng mean by telling him this?

Xiao Peng said: "If you take down this project to cooperate, this is an official project, then your safety there can be guaranteed, right?"

"Can this be done?" Kevin frowned.

"It's not a big problem. Xiao Peng said: "The most difficult point of this project is the money. With money, everything is easy to say. ”

Kevin frowned and said: "Mr. Xiao, the problem you are talking about is the most critical issue, when Quan Li's reputation was greatly questioned when he was operating the South China Tiger Rewilding Project, many international consortia refused to reach out, as far as I know, the funds they raised were all raised from your Huaxia." Now, the international consortium will not reach out, and the Chinese side should not be able to raise any more funds, right? Where can we get the money?"

Xiao Peng had a forced smile on his face: "Then how much do you think it costs?"

Kevin said: "I don't know if you want to take down the more than 30,000 hectares of land in the 'Tiger Valley', if you want to take it down, the investment will be at least five million US dollars." This includes land, manpower facilities, and so on. Then the annual capital investment should be more than one million. ”

Xiao Peng frowned and said, "Kevin, didn't you say that your animal sanctuary has a rainforest belt near Liuger National Park?

Kevin sighed and said, "Mr. Xiao, you don't know that we are not in the south, there are many troublesome rules that cannot be used near the national park, and there are armed forces stationed to protect the national park. ”

Xiao Peng was puzzled: "Isn't that a good thing? ”

Kevin said: "Mr. Xiao, when my friend was running the farm, he would never open up over there, because the armed forces over there were too dark. Kill me, and I don't want to deal with them. ”

Xiao Peng grinned: "Kevin, I think you have a question that you haven't figured out." ”

Kevin was stunned: "What's the problem?"

Xiao Peng said: "If you do the South China Tiger Rewilding Project, then you are not representing you personally, and there is a huge country standing behind you! Those South China Tigers are our national treasure animals, and countless people are paying attention to them, if you win this project, don't worry that someone will trouble you." And if you can really take this project down, it will also be of great benefit to your wildlife reserve. No matter how many people you hire, safety is guaranteed. After all, you're a national project."

Kevin frowned, "You're not wrong to say that, but I don't know the habits of tigers. What if something goes wrong?"

Xiao Peng shrugged: "It depends on whether you dare to take over." If you dare to take over, I will contact you about this matter. ”

Kevin was silent for a while, and then said thoughtfully: "You just said that this is a national project, how can you be sure that you can take over this project?"

Xiao Peng shrugged: "There is no shortage of anything else in this project, but there is a lack of money, and someone is willing to pay to take over, which is a good thing for the relevant departments of our country." ”

Kevin thought for a while: "Mr. Xiao, I have to say, what you said makes my heart move, if I don't have to take the land there, with my current economic strength, I can completely win this project." But I know what I need to do without pie in the sky?"

Xiao Peng smiled and said: "Kevin, let me tell you this, I came to you this time to see if you are a fame seeker or a true animal lover." Of course, the former is unlikely, and if you don't really love animals, you can't have such a good intimacy with lions and hyenas, but to be honest, you're a bit 。。。。。。 Uh, simple. Otherwise, the lion of Feinan would not have been mixed up like this now. ”

Kevin was a little embarrassed after hearing this, Xiao Peng stretched out his finger: "But Kevin, I don't mean that you are bad, if you don't have this character, you can't have such a good relationship with the lion." So let's work together, shall we?"

"Cooperation, how to cooperate?" Kevin asked.

Xiao Peng said: "It's very simple, we will work together to take this project down. You have to take care of these South China tigers with your heart. ”

Kevin said what he was most concerned about: "How do you invest money, and if something goes wrong with these South China tigers, how do you divide the responsibility?"

Xiao Peng spread out his hands: "I don't care about anything." And this project must be under my name, otherwise you won't be able to take this project, after all, this is a national brand project. Not everyone can get their hands on it. ”

"Hmm, Mr. Xiao, are you kidding me?" Kevin didn't expect Xiao Peng to say that. You asked me to do this project that is beneficial to you Chinese people, but you don't care about anything? What does this mean?

Xiao Peng smiled and said to Kevin: "Do you think I am very unkind to do this? Then let me tell you, in fact, if you do this, you are the beneficiary." ”

"Mr. Xiao, are you kidding me? I'm going to pay for the land and manpower. Am I the beneficiary at the end of the day?" Kevin's eyes widened.

Xiao Peng nodded: "I'm not joking with you. After saying that, he lit a cigarette and looked at Kevin to see how Kevin reacted.

He also thought that Kevin could be angry, but he didn't expect Kevin to be angry, but looked at Xiao Peng: "Mr. Xiao, can you explain it to me." Why do you say that?"

Xiao Peng smiled, it seems that Kevin is more mature than he imagined. It's not the 'lion whisperer' that people played back then.

"Kevin, do you believe it? If I want, I can find a way to bring all these tigers home, it is really too easy for me to raise these tigers in a few mountains in China, I believe you also know, what I did in Madagascar, I brought almost all the creatures there back to China, and I can guarantee that they can live a healthy life in China. Do you believe it or not?" Xiao Peng said.

Kevin retorted: "Lemur chameleons and the like are different from tigers, especially the South China tigers here are trained in the wild, unlike the big cats that are bred in the breeding centers and shiver when they see goats." It's very aggressive, and even if you bring them back, it's easy to have problems. It is impossible to find a random place to release them! Moreover, tigers need a broad living environment, and it is said that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. How much living environment do you have to find for them? As far as I know, China is not like us, but there is not so much spare land. ”

Xiao Peng laughed: "Kevin, are you the only one who can live in harmony with the lion? Then let me tell you, if you are a lion talker and can communicate with the lion, then I am the king of beasts, and there is no beast that I can't handle!"

Kevin scoffed. He didn't believe what Xiao Peng said.

Xiao Peng didn't explain: "You believe it or not, but you just need to believe that I have the ability to bring them back and slide down, so you won't have any objections, right?"

Kevin nodded, he believed it.

Xiao Peng continued: "I don't lie to you, I came to Africa this time, entrusted a friend of mine to help me, and went through some procedures on how to bring the animals back, this procedure is a very cumbersome matter, naturally I have to find the wildlife research and development center and the forestry bureau, they told me about the South China tiger, hoping that I will solve it as appropriate." Even if you don't look for me, I will come to Feinan, the only difference is that if I don't meet you, I will bring all these South China tigers back. When we meet you, we can work together to continue this South China tiger rewilding project. ”

"What's the difference?" asked Kevin.

"Absolutely. Kevin, if I take the South China Tiger home directly, we will lose the image of the relevant departments in Huaxia that operate this matter, and if we continue this project here, it will mean that this thing can be operated! There is a big difference between the two. Xiao Peng explained.

Kevin frowned: "But the operation of this project is still too difficult." It's not hard to get those tigers to be caught alive and fed, but it's too difficult to let them live in the rainforest!"

Xiao Peng smiled slightly: "This method is easy for me to solve." You just have to tell me if you are willing to accept this or not. ”

"How do you solve it?" Kevin Richardson inevitably became a little anxious when he heard this. What he meant when he looked for Xiao Peng was that he heard that there was a rich man from China who liked animals to buy in Madagascar, but in fact, for Kevin, he didn't care if those animals Xiao Peng brought back to live, and it wasn't their South African lions. He asked Xiao Peng to get Xiao Peng to invest money in his lion protection fund. As a result, I didn't expect Xiao Peng not only not to invest money, but also to make himself out of his pocket?

Xiao Peng pointed to the sky: "Let's go, Kevin, take you to see how I solve it." ”

Kevin was puzzled, and when he looked up, Yang Meng had already arrived here on a plane.

Xiao Peng smiled slightly: "There are some beer T-shirts or something on the plane, it can be regarded as a gift from me to the people here, I asked Yang Meng to come over when I saw the miserable situation here just now, but it was just right, go, I'll take you somewhere." ”

"Where?" asked Kevin, puzzled.

"Tiger Valley!"
