Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 197 - : Is This Being Sponsored by a Wealthy Woman? (Seeking Monthly Pass)

Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Is This Being Sponsored by a Wealthy Woman? (Seeking Monthly Pass)

Dao Meihua had come this time not only to follow up on the Clouded Leopard’s treatment but also to bring a plan from the Dian Province Wildlife Rescue and Shelter Center for the construction of ten micro-shelters and emergency stations.

Chen Ying’s emergency station and shelter set an example for them.

Previously, few people built emergency stations around forests, as it was believed that personal emergency stations couldn’t be sustained.

However, if personal emergency 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 emergency treatment.”

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 departments and the existing medical and shelter conditions, Chen Ying offered several practical and feasible suggestions.

He also generously gave away some formulae that entirely couldn’t be commercialized.

These weren’t any rare prescriptions; the main issue was that some of the medicinal ingredients were only found in Dian Province.

The ethnic minority pharmacists there already knew how to use these medicines.

He had merely altered the application and dosage according to the pharmaceutical schemes provided by the system, which improved the treatment effects.

These medicines were not rare in the dense forests of Dian Province and could be harvested and used as needed in emergencies, 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 Meihua 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 recommend 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 treatment 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 medical team leaders from Dao Meihua and Chen Ying’s organizations and both provincial rescue centers, it was decided to leave the follow-up treatment to Chen Ying until it has regained basic mobility, and then the next steps would be planned accordingly.

Moreover, Dao Meihua had brought personal sponsorship from her family for Chen Ying.

“Sponsorship? I don’t need it.”

Chen Ying hadn’t finished speaking when Dao Meihua raised her hand to stop him.

“Please don’t misunderstand, Dr. Chen, the sponsorship isn’t for you, it’s for this emergency station and the Jiamu Gully Mountain Protection Station.”

In other words, no matter who was in charge of the emergency station and Protection Station, the sponsorship was solely for use by these two grassroots rescue organizations.

“The equipment mainly required by the Protection Station is for forest patrols. Items such as personal protective gear and clothing equipment, as well as a set of infrared cameras and similar devices. The emergency station needs animal feed and medical supplies and equipment, 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 Meihua 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 emergency 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 emergency 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 stemmed from his own conviction and his teacher’s support, but now, it seemed as if another force had been infused into him, and he felt fully motivated to work!

Dao Meihua arrived quickly and left just as fast.

She mentioned that after talking with Duanmu and Little Song last time, her family’s foundation wanted to cooperate with the new protected area. Besides conserving the ecological environment and wildlife, they also wanted to guide highland herders and farmers to plant economic crops.

Only when the issue of food was resolved could the surrounding environment 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 medicinal plant skyrocketed, and within two years, the grassland was nearly turned into a desert, with that species almost driven to extinction.

Dao Meihua’s family foundation planned to collaborate with the new protected area to allocate a piece of land specifically for cultivating precious medicinal plants, with some of the output reserved to sustain the protected area’s resources.

The wild medicinal 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.

Some scoffed, claiming that they were only willing to do this because it provided them with an income.

Isn’t that obvious? Would you work without a salary?

It’s not shameful 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 mentioned 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 time 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 become 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 treatment, 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 treatment behind my back, it will be punished each time!
