In the name of the Oriental Group, Ye Quan established the Oriental Rare Animal Protection Fund and the South China Tiger Rewilding Training Base in Nanyueling, which received strong support from government departments at all levels, and soon carved out a remote mountainous area with a radius of tens of kilometers in Qingluo Bay, Pingjiang Township, as a training base.

The construction of the base is progressing rapidly, and the perimeter fence and some infrastructure are nearing completion, and other units in China that breed South China tigers have begun to be contacted.

According to Ye Quan's meaning, the base will receive about 10 South China tigers for rewilding training, of which two to three South China tigers will be released into Nanyueling, and the rest will gradually be released into other mountains and forests suitable for South China tigers to survive.

With the support of the higher authorities and sufficient funds, it is not easy to bring in tigers.

This is not to say that there are no tigers to be introduced, only the largest tiger breeding base in China, Xionghu Villa, once had as many as 13oo tigers, of which many tigers belong to the South China tiger bloodline.

In 1993, Xinhuaguo promulgated the Notice on Prohibiting the Trade in Rhino Horn and Tiger Bone, which stipulates that tiger bones cannot be imported, sold, purchased, transported, carried, or mailed, and that tiger bones cannot be used for medicine, and that trade in artificially bred tiger products is prohibited.

Since the promulgation of this regulation, some places engaged in tiger breeding have been in a predicament, according to the regulations, even tigers that have died normally are not allowed to be sold and traded, and the breeding tigers cannot be killed or released, and even starvation to death is illegal, in order to control the number of tigers, some tiger breeding sites have to adopt sterilization and other means.

If conditions permit, it is not a problem for the rewilding base to accept a few hundred tigers.

The biggest problem in introducing South China tigers. Not the numbers, but also the South China tiger pedigree faces the problem of strict zhòng degradation and hybridization.

South China tigers are now in captivity in China. Most of them are the descendants of the ** South China tigers captured in the sixties and seventies, because there have been no new founders to join the group for decades, they can only breed with each other, and they have long lost their genetic diversity, which leads to problems such as body degradation and very low survival rate of cubs.

Most of the South China tigers in captivity are mixed with the genetics of other tiger subspecies such as the Indochinese tiger.

The ultimatum was selected and tested by several experts, and six South China tigers, two males and four females, were introduced in the first batch of the rewilding training base. All are young tigers under the age of three.

In order to make up for these six South China tigers, the Foundation has searched almost all the units in China that breed South China tigers, including zoos, other tiger rewilding training bases and breeding sites.

Even once contacted the "China Tiger Fund" set up in Africa South China Tiger Rewilding Training Base, in the early nineties to train a few tigers abroad, now abroad to breed more than a dozen offspring, and all have a rewilding basis, although because of the African grassland and the domestic mountains and forests there are too many differences. No one can guarantee that these tigers will actually survive in the wild, but in terms of wildness, these tigers born in Africa are far stronger than their domestic counterparts.

These six South China tigers are quite pure in blood, but because of the inbreeding of several generations, the physical condition is really worrying. Almost all of them are "sick tigers", let alone released into the mountains and forests, and it is very difficult to even grow up healthily and reproduce the next generation.

The current heads of the rewilding base, zoologists Ji Kun and Yan Xuechuan, did not even have much expectation for the subsequent rewilding work. Because from their professional point of view, these tigers have been kept in captivity for generations. The ability to survive independently in the wild has been completely lost.

Ye Quan was full of confidence, he first secretly optimized the space of the six South China tigers, treated the injuries, and genetically repaired the degenerated and defective tigers to restore them to a completely healthy state.

In order to better train the fighting and predatory abilities of the South China tigers, Ye Quan even "invited" a special "instructor" - the Tibetan mastiff "Lion King".

……

After evolution, the original very majestic "Lion King" has been reborn, and now the weight has reached an astonishing 129 kilograms, shoulder height of 92 centimeters, if people stand up, even more than the height of some adults, plus a thick hair, not only the weight of the female South China Tiger, even in appearance, is not inferior to the male South China Tiger.

Ordinary people see the "Lion King" for the first time, all marvel at its size and handsomeness, because of the deterrent power brought by the huge size, the staff of the training base are not afraid of those captive tigers, but they are a little afraid of this Tibetan mastiff.

In fact, because of the detachment from the alpine region, captivity and inbreeding, the current Tibetan mastiff is also facing the crisis of genetic degradation, compared with their ancestors living in the wild alpine zone, whether it is size, combat effectiveness or other aspects, is inferior.

As an evolved spirit animal, the intelligence of the "Lion King" is even more ordinary, and he can fully understand some simple commands.

As a result, there is often such a scene in the rewilding base, a Tibetan mastiff like a male lion, often roaring and bullying those lazy South China tigers, training several young tigers to be unbearable; Or lead these South China tigers to prey on pheasants, wild boars, goats and other animals in various terrains.

Of course, in order not to shock the world, many of the training was carried out in secret in isolation, and even the staff in the base did not know about it.

The newcomers eat only minced beef, and in order to complete their wilding training, they are conditioned to eating other meats such as chicken, lamb and pork, and then taught how to eat live chickens, rabbits and goats.

When the tigers are used to eating ** animals, they are then allowed to hunt and kill by themselves in the stocking area, and finally in the natural environment, relying on their own strength to hunt down goats and wild boars.

The whole training process can be said to be very difficult, if it weren't for Ye Quan being able to communicate with them, and having the "Lion King" taking the lead in demonstrating, it might not have been successful for a few years or even more than ten years.

In less than a month, the six South China tigers were full of vitality and became ferocious, and after awakening the instinct of the king of beasts in their bodies, they also began to learn survival skills such as lurking, night walking, tracking, ambushing, and predation.

In particular, there are two youngest tigers, under the communication of Ye Quan and the training of the "Lion King", they have made extremely fast progress, and their appearance is very good, and they already have a high success rate when hunting alone, if it is not for secrecy and publicity, it will definitely cause a sensation.

Several zoologists in the base observe the physical and mental conditions of these tigers every day, and under the change from day to day, they are all amazed by Ye Quan's various methods and the magical skills of the "lion king", and even think that as long as it takes two months, that is, before autumn, they can try to release a South China tiger in Nanyue Ridge to test the results of rewilding training.

As for the rewilding training of South China tigers, domestic and international actions have been taken for a long time, but the results are really not great.

There are Meihua Mountain, Liuyang and other wilderness training bases in China, and the conditions are better than those of Nanyueling in all aspects.

The world-famous "China Tiger Fund" was launched more than 10 years ago, with a base of more than 30,000 hectares in Africa, but unfortunately, this fund is congenitally insufficient, has been controversial, and recently fell into the vortex of misappropriation of donations.

In terms of the area of the base and the time of establishment, the rewilding training base in Nanyueling is not superior, and even lacks scientific judgment, and basically no one is optimistic about the prospects of the base except Ye Quan himself.

However, judging from the current situation, the rewilding training base in Nanyueling is likely to be ahead of other projects and achieve real results in the rewilding of tigers in South China.

After the wild tigress entrenched in Hutou Mountain was found and confirmed, it touched the hearts of more than one billion Chinese people, and was named "Dandan" through the guò network, which is homophonic "lonely and lonely", because this is the last South China tiger.

After many investigations, it is basically certain that there is no possibility of another South China tiger within a radius of hundreds of miles from the Nanyue Mountains, which means that if there is no human intervention, even if the female tiger "Dandan" has been healthy and survived, in 2o years, the South China tiger in the wild will be completely extinct.

The idea of capturing the female tiger "Dandan" and mating with the existing male tigers in order to expand the South China tiger population and improve the problem of genetic degradation was rejected first.

If the tigress "Dandan" is artificially raised, it is equivalent to losing the last wild South China tiger, and in today's special period of trying every possible way to rewild the tiger and release it into the mountains and forests, it is undoubtedly retrogressive and stupid to do so!

The only way to do this is to release a male tiger and add one or two females to breed into a small population in the Nanyue Mountains, and then slowly change the diversity of the South China tiger to allow it to reproduce naturally.

Although much of the training was kept secret, the appearance of these six South China tigers made those who followed them very excited, and if it were not for the sake of consolidating the results and improving the success rate, they would have been released into the wild immediately.
