Dao ihua had co this ti not only to follow up on the Clouded Leopard's treatnt but also to bring a plan from the Dian Province Wildlife Rescue and Shelter Center for the construction of ten micro-shelters and ergency stations.
Chen Ying's ergency station and shelter set an example for them.
Previously, few people built ergency stations around forests, as it was believed that personal ergency stations couldn't be sustained.
However, if personal ergency stations relied on Protection Stations, they could play a significant role.
The only problem now was the shortage of staff.
After all, not everyone enjoyed solitude as much as Chen Ying did.
"Now, our idea is to recruit volunteers nationwide, rotating every three months or six months. Although the technical stability can't compare to yours, Dr. Chen, this can greatly alleviate the difficulties our conservation organizations are facing in animal ergency treatnt."
There will always be people willing to contribute when they can, even if it's just a tiny spark, it can still light up a small patch of darkness.
After learning in detail about the regular work of the conservation and wildlife protection departnts and the existing dical and shelter conditions, Chen Ying offered several practical and feasible suggestions.
He also generously gave away so formulae that entirely couldn't be comrcialized.
These weren't any rare prescriptions; the main issue was that so of the dicinal ingredients were only found in Dian Province.
The ethnic minority pharmacists there already knew how to use these dicines.
He had rely altered the application and dosage according to the pharmaceutical sches provided by the system, which improved the treatnt effects.
These dicines were not rare in the dense forests of Dian Province and could be harvested and used as needed in ergencies, so there were no significant restrictions on supplies; they were genuinely life-saving.
Of course, these could only be used in urgent situations; otherwise, if taken too seriously, it could blow one's mind.
Dao ihua was also aware of the pros and cons, so she would have the formulae reviewed by experts before promoting them through other channels.
"These two Clouded Leopards will probably be ready to be transferred to a convalescent rehabilitation facility in about ten days. I recomnd this older male Clouded Leopard stays in our protection center's wellness area. I can go down every few days to check on it and adjust its follow-up treatnt plan as needed."
The older Clouded Leopard's recovery was better than those in captivity, but still much weaker compared to the two young female leopards.
At the very least, it would take at least four to six months to reach the level of health the two female leopards currently had.
As for the little Female Leopard in the ICU unit, after collective discussions with the dical team leaders from Dao ihua and Chen Ying's organizations and both provincial rescue centers, it was decided to leave the follow-up treatnt to Chen Ying until it has regained basic mobility, and then the next steps would be planned accordingly.
Moreover, Dao ihua had brought personal sponsorship from her family for Chen Ying.
"Sponsorship? I don't need it."
Chen Ying hadn't finished speaking when Dao ihua raised her hand to stop him.
"Please don't misunderstand, Dr. Chen, the sponsorship isn't for you, it's for this ergency station and the Jiamu Gully Mountain Protection Station."
In other words, no matter who was in charge of the ergency station and Protection Station, the sponsorship was solely for use by these two grassroots rescue organizations.
"The equipnt mainly required by the Protection Station is for forest patrols. Items such as personal protective gear and clothing equipnt, as well as a set of infrared caras and similar devices. The ergency station needs animal feed and dical supplies and equipnt, along with a spare ICU unit and portable ultrasound machine."
The allowance was not a finished product but a separate financial account overseen by the foundation owned by the Dao ihua family. Each month, they would review the account's expenditure on food purchases.
"Another thing is that the foundation provides an allowance to the resident veterinarians at the ergency stations. It isn't much, just one thousand to one thousand five hundred a month, varying mainly according to the cost of living in the area."
Besides Chen Ying, both Little Sen and Old Gao were eligible for this allowance. Their current work was associated with the ergency station, and they would lose this benefit if they left.
Chen Ying's expression was complicated—why did it feel like being kept?
But it had to be said that despite the small amount of money, the feeling of being recognized was very comforting.
Previously, his perseverance stemd from his own conviction and his teacher's support, but now, it seed as if another force had been infused into him, and he felt fully motivated to work!
Dao ihua arrived quickly and left just as fast.
She ntioned that after talking with Duanmu and Little Song last ti, her family's foundation wanted to cooperate with the new protected area. Besides conserving the ecological environnt and wildlife, they also wanted to guide highland herders and farrs to plant economic crops.
Only when the issue of food was resolved could the surrounding environnt be better protected.
Otherwise, those people would stick to the old mindset of "living off the land and the water" and not only go against the conservationists but also intentionally do things that made one's blood boil.
For example, a few years ago, the price of a certain wild dicinal plant skyrocketed, and within two years, the grassland was nearly turned into a desert, with that species almost driven to extinction.
Dao ihua's family foundation planned to collaborate with the new protected area to allocate a piece of land specifically for cultivating precious dicinal plants, with so of the output reserved to sustain the protected area's resources.
The wild dicinal plants could only be harvested on a planned basis after obtaining a permit, avoiding actions that drained the resources dry.
In fact, such plans had been in place for many years in various marginal areas. In the past years, combined with targeted poverty alleviation, these efforts had already begun to bear fruit.
For instance, the cultivation of schisandra berries in Xiaozhai Village and nearby villages, as well as the planned harvesting of the wild berries, and the construction of the hive in cooperation with Bear Garden last year, were all initiatives based on this purpose.
Now in Xiaozhai Village and the nearby villages, it had been discovered that the protection of animals, plants, and birds had influenced and improved their lives. Therefore, the villagers no longer needed the constant persuasion of their community leaders. As long as the proposed suggestions were feasible, they would follow without hesitation.
So scoffed, claiming that they were only willing to do this because it provided them with an inco.
Isn't that obvious? Would you work without a salary?
It's not shaful to pursue money, but one should do so within the bounds of propriety.
After seeing off Miss Dao, Chen Ying announced the news of the allowance ntioned by Miss Dao in the small group chat. Little Sen was over the moon and even deliberately flaunted it in front of Duanmu, which irritated Duanmu enough to block him.
The clouded leopards' condition had stabilized, and the ICU cub, the female leopard, was even allowed half an hour more ti outside every day.
Chen Ying finally managed to take a break to go outside and check on Manman and its partner.
Upon arriving at the Shelter at the Protection Station, they happened to be cleaning the inside; all the red pandas were active in the outdoor area.
Little Sister Red Panda had effectively beco the boss of the group; the keeper had to feed her first before distributing food to the other red pandas.
Manman's daddy originally intended to give Manman special treatnt, but the silly little one voluntarily handed over its treats.
Now, the daddy dared not feed Manman behind Little Sister Red Panda's back, or else Manman would be in for it.
In fact, Little Sister Red Panda wasn't intentionally bullying Manman, but rather it was a warning to the daddy: If you dare to give it special treatnt behind my back, it will be punished each ti!
