Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Establishing a Personal Animal Rescue Shelter

September 27th, the leaders came to inspect the work, and it was also to assess the Rescue Station.

After receiving the notice, Chen Ying consciously led the two giant pandas away and locked Leo on the first-floor platform.

Leopard Sister occupied the other platform.

Brother Leopard had gone out to visit relatives and had not returned yet. Big Baby and Little Baby played and wrestled in the woods every day, catching little rabbits and the like, even bringing some back for their mother.

The leaders did not stay long before they left.

Too much human scent could not be left behind here.

When humans arrived, Big Baby and Little Baby swiftly climbed up the trees and hid among the branches to peek.

The deputy director of the Protection Station also came, greeted Chen Ying warmly, and was very friendly.

Not long after sending off the leaders, Yin Li came back.

“It's pretty much confirmed, from now on the Rescue Station will be completely separated from the Protection Station. You will be under the direct management of the Wild Protection Department of the Forestry and Grassland Bureau.”

“There's a benefit to this, after separation, Animal Protection supports individual implementation of animal rescue, and your rescue station can become independent, managing itself from here on.”

Previously, all dispatching here needed to be arranged by the center, including the subsequent release of animals, all had to be implemented according to the center's arrangements.

Once independent, he could establish a rescue home in his name and enjoy the same treatment as rescue organizations.

He only needed to report the required personnel, equipment, medicine, and instruments in the system.

Although subordinate to the center, his work would be much freer.

However, corresponding troubles also existed; he would have to figure out supplies on his own.

“Sister Dai and a few close colleagues are also going independent. They plan to establish a small-scale shelter and makeshift station near Cuomu River.”

Cuomu River was located between two reserves, an area often entered illegally by people breaking barriers to poach or extract resources.

The place Sister Dai and her colleagues were interested in was near the rocky shore of Cuomu River.

Close to the highway and with ample water supply, there were no forests overhead, suitable for installing solar power.

Stretching into the riverbank, most of the area was economic forest, which they could buy and plan for construction of rescue sheds.

“The center is actually dispersing personnel, handling mildly injured animals nearby and sending the severely injured ones needing long-term care to the center, significantly relieving the existing pressure on the center.”

You can increase staff and equipment, but you need places to house them.

Also, the cost of feeding animals should not be underestimated.

After entering the center, there's a strict set of procedures; even mildly injured animals take several days to be processed, and during these days, the costs of feeding and toiletries add up.

But at the grassroots shelter stations, procedures are much simplified, shortening a five-day process to about two or three days, and some minor injuries can be treated and, after an overnight observation without problems, released.

“Sister Dai couldn't come and asked me if you wanted to collaborate with them, hanging a consultant title with them.”

By doing this, Sister Dai was trying to maintain a good relationship with him, so in times of need, she could call him directly.

Chen Ying thought for a moment, and decided to decline Sister Dai's kindness.

Though it's slightly tougher to rescue independently, not having to deal with others was very satisfying.

As for fundraising and such, after the clinical trials of the third phase are completed and the medicines released to market, would he still lack money?

Additionally, he had been declining some friends' sponsorship, not wanting these issues to cause discomfort to others or create obstacles behind his back.

Now being independent, the amount of sponsorship he could receive was all up to his ability, and those who were envious could just make their own efforts.

“Alright, as long as you understand. I've been really busy these days, call me if you need anything.”

Yin Li came in a hurry and left just as quickly, busy to the point of barely touching the ground.

Little Sen would definitely stay with Chen Ying at the Rescue Station to take care of the pandas.

After discussing with Duanmu, Xiao Song decided to go to Sister Dai's place.

The medical equipment of the Rescue Station that was to be moved was moved, and some small-sized equipment was sent directly to Chen Ying.

“Brother Ying, according to the latest regulations, you can still build two animal sheds here. Have you decided where to do it?”

Without harming the original ecological environment, the shelter station could build corresponding facilities.

Chen Ying's place, as an individual rescue and shelter station and bird observation station, was allowed to build two sheds not exceeding one hundred square meters each.

In principle, the funds were supposed to be allocated from higher up, but in practice, it was difficult for the funds to arrive in full.

Or rather, impossible to be fully funded.

Chen Ying didn't think too much; he didn't plan to build complex sheds.

With his capability, even if he just erected two simple shelters, he wouldn't have to worry about the animals fighting.

On October 8th, just as he started work, his phone received a large fund transfer.

Professor Bai called, informing him that this fund was the first sales dividend from the newly marketed medicines.

“You've already got the approval document for independently running the animal rescue and shelter; the construction company will come by in the next few days, and they will aim to finish the shelters before the snow.”

By mid to late November, the temperatures would plummet, and it was unpredictable when the snow would cease to stop.

From mid-December to February of the next year, the high-altitude areas were already snowbound, and their main rescue targets were animals living in altitudes between 1,500 and 3,000 meters.

In winter, food scarcity led to inevitable conflicts among the animals.

In the afternoon, he also received a message from Director Bai, asking for any suggestions on where to release the Snow Leopard.

Chen Ying immediately recalled his uncle's words and called back, recommending to release the Snow Leopard directly into the high mountain meadow area.

That area had plentiful cattle and sheep, perfectly suitable for a Snow Leopard recuperating from severe illness to nourish itself properly.

“Okay, I'll arrange for someone to check the situation right away. If it's appropriate, we'll do as you suggested and release it straight into the meadow area.”

Director Bai glanced around to ensure no one was present, relaxed his body, leaned back, and chatted leisurely with Chen Ying.

“Are you planning to stay down the mountain or up in the mountains this winter? If you need supplies, better report early. I have to arrange winter supplies in early November.”

“Thank you, Director Bai. I plan to stay up in the mountains this winter, but I might need to return to school before the New Year. Little Sen will stay here for a while, and he can go home for the holidays when I return.”

“You guys are still short on people there. Want me to assign you another assistant?”

“No need. The animals here are basically free to roam. Little Sen is familiar with them, and with Baby Bear around, other animals won't bully him. Bringing in a newcomer, I'd have to worry about his safety and dare not leave.”

“That works too. Although you're now separated from the Protection Station, you know the people over there well. If it's really inevitable, ask them for help.”

Chen Ying laughed it off and changed the topic.

He inquired about Director Bai's plans for the New Year, and hearing that he had to remain at the center again this year, an idea suddenly sprang to mind.
