Chapter 337: Benefiting the Animal World after Winning the Superpower Award 27

"Ms. Jiang, I've heard of you for a long time." Obviously,

this sentence feels very routine and perfunctory, but the other party's attitude is very sincere. "Hello, I don't know how to address you?" "My last name is He, and I'm the vice president of the association. You can just call me Lao He." Jiang Lan was not hypocritical, "Comrade Lao He, you can just call me Xiao Jiang. I don't like beating around the bush, let's just get straight to the point." "No problem, no problem, we are all open-minded people, and we also know that your time is precious, Xiao Jiang, so let's make it short." In fact, the matter is not complicated at all. It's just that China's endangered animals work is in urgent need of personnel support. And it's not ordinary personnel, it needs highly technical people. "With Xiao Jiang's skills, if he is willing to work here, we will support him with both hands." Jiang Lan just smiled and said nothing, but his meaning was obvious. They are all presentable people, so how could they not know the hidden message? Lao He was not surprised at all, but continued: "The work on the South China tiger really needs your support." Jiang Lan straightened up and asked: "Can you tell me more about it?" "As an endangered animal, the total number of South China tigers in the world does not exceed 300, and the vast majority are in China, of course, including the artificially bred ones." Lao He sighed, "The number of wild South China tigers is extremely rare now, so we will release the artificially bred South China tigers to ensure their wildness." Jiang Lan understood what he meant and could roughly guess where the problem was. "Animals that rely on humans to survive in a changed environment will need a long period of adaptation." After all , if they rely on humans to raise them, they don't have to worry about food and housing, and the only price they pay is freedom. But these tigers have been kept in cages since they were young, and they have no concept of freedom. Instead, changing their habits to hunt has become a problem. "Yes, but we can't do anything about it. Human protection is only a supplementary role, and the continuation of the species still needs to rely on the laws of nature." Jiang Lan nodded, and she still agreed with this point. There is an essential difference between wild animals and pets. Wild animals are an important part of the ecological chain, while pets are more of a social companion. "Our previous release experiments were very smooth, with only one exception." Lao He sighed, looking a little helpless. "Meng Meng is a 2-year-old adult female South China tiger. It has a friendly personality. We have failed to release it several times." "What do you need me to do?" Lao He smiled awkwardly, "I heard that you can do ideological work on animals. Aren't cats and tigers both felines? Do you think we can have some communication?" "Okay, I can only say let's try it first." Jiang Lan didn't dare to guarantee it, after all, the Rottweiler issue was still there. This means that not all animals can be affected by her supernatural powers, so she can only do her best. When Jiang Lan saw Meng Meng, she breathed a sigh of relief. Her supernatural powers were still useful. Meng Meng obviously liked her very much. She wanted to pull Jiang Lan through the cage, and then rolled on the ground and acted coquettishly, exposing her belly to be petted. She was completely a cute big cat. Lao He was also surprised, "Although Mengmeng is very friendly, this is the first time for it to act like this." After all, it is a tiger, and the title of the king of beasts is not exaggerated. Its temper is really not as good as imagined. Normally, it can only be touched by the keeper once, and it cannot be touched often, otherwise it will get angry. The staff disinfected Jiang Lan's whole body and removed the excess smell before allowing her to enter the park. After all, it is a very aggressive beast, and everyone did not dare to let Mengmeng out. Instead, they let it face Jiang Lan through the cage, staring at each other. Mengmeng was obviously a little unhappy, and it patted the iron gate to indicate that it wanted to go out. Jiang Lan reached out and grabbed its thick claws, which attracted the exclamation of the staff next to it. "No, it's dangerous!" Fortunately, it was a false alarm. Mengmeng touched Jiang Lan's hand with her meat pad, which looked a little cute. "Mengmeng, hello, can we chat for a while?" "Oh, yes, yes, I want to touch my belly." This is really a clingy big cat, and the idol burden of the beast has fallen to the ground. "Mengmeng, don't you want to go out? Go to the outside world, where there are your companions and freedom, and you don't have to be trapped in the cage." "Oh, hungry...hungry..." Sure enough, it's still a problem of hunting skills. This guy probably didn't catch anything, so he escaped and returned. He is really a pragmatist. There is food and drink in the protection base. Mengmeng prefers a comfortable life to freedom. "Don't you really want freedom?" "No, no." Mengmeng grew up in the conservation base and has been in contact with humans since she was a child. To humans, Mengmeng is a good character. But to the South China tiger population, a tiger like Mengmeng is a bit embarrassing. She has no dignity for a little food. It's not a big deal to force a cow to drink water. If it doesn't want to go to the wild, you can't force it to go. Jiang Lan told Lao He and the others about the results of the communication with Mengmeng, and they were not surprised by the result. "We had guessed that Mengmeng was too lazy, so that's why she behaved like this, but we didn't expect it to be true." "Does Mengmeng have to be released?" "In principle, female South China tigers like Mengmeng play a big role in the reproduction of the population. After she is released into the wild, she can teach her offspring how to hunt, so that the second generation of tiger cubs will be able to survive in the environment." This is also the reason why everyone wants to release Mengmeng into the wild, because female South China tigers are relatively rare.

"Xiao Jiang, all animals are part of the ecological chain. Only when they are released into nature can they play their role. Overprotection will only accelerate extinction."

Jiang Lan nodded. Releasing them back to nature is definitely the right thing to do. It

not only maintains ecological peace, but also dilutes the bloodline of the tribe and avoids some diseases caused by inbreeding.

"Does Meng Meng resist wild training?"

"Yes, this is the most troublesome thing."

Under normal circumstances, in order to let the South China tiger learn to forage, the conservation base will first let deer, wild boars, sheep, etc. go wild outdoors, and then release them into the activity area. Through guidance and demonstration, they will learn to forage by observation.

Meng Meng is stubborn. No matter how you guide her, she just won't hunt. She gets scared when she sees other animals running past her. She even gets scared and gets sick.

"Comrade Lao He, can you let me try? I guide Meng Meng. Is that possible?"

Lao He was overjoyed and agreed immediately.

"Of course, how about we give it a try?"

Jiang Lan suddenly felt cheated. Good guy... turns out he was waiting for her here.
