In the lush expanses of the Dafeng Milu National Nature Reserve in Jiangsu Province, park ranger Yao Yajun is on a mission. Tasked with rescuing milu deer that are trapped or injured, Yao embodies the dedication of those working tirelessly to protect this rare species.
The milu deer, once on the brink of extinction, have found a sanctuary in this vast reserve. With its rich biodiversity, Dafeng has become a haven where these majestic creatures roam free. However, the challenges of maintaining such a habitat are immense.
“Every day brings new responsibilities,” Yao shares. “Our team patrols the reserve, ensuring the safety of the milu deer and responding to any emergencies.”
Rescuing trapped or injured deer is no small feat. It requires not only physical endurance but also an intimate understanding of the deer’s behavior and habitat. The park rangers work in all weather conditions, often traversing difficult terrains to reach animals in need.
The efforts of Yao and his colleagues are crucial in preserving the milu deer’s population. Their commitment highlights the importance of wildlife conservation in Jiangsu Province and sets an example for environmental stewardship across Asia.
