Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 852 Cheetah

The entire basement has a weird smell, and the piles of ivory and rhino horns are even more shocking.

At present, the price of a kilogram of ivory on the international black market is about 1,000 U.S. dollars, and a kilogram of rhino horn is about 60,000 U.S. dollars.

This means that the ivory and rhino horns piled up in the warehouse in front of everyone are worth more than 100 million U.S. dollars!

One hundred million ugly dollars is already an astronomical figure.

If it is stored in the bank, the interest that increases out of thin air every day is enough for ordinary people to spend a lifetime.

When the audience in the live broadcast room heard the secretary introduce the value, they couldn't help but be speechless.

[100 million, I go to buy bonds, and there is 10,000 yuan in interest every day. There is no way to spend it all]

[Ten thousand a day? Three hundred thousand a month! 】

[In fact, if it is 100 million, the interest rate will be higher, and there are professional financial managers, which are not comparable to ordinary bonds (cover your face)]

[What the hell, no wonder there are so many soldiers in the protection center, it's no different from a bank vault! 】

[Cold knowledge, ordinary banks don't have that much money (dog head)]

【Envy, I also want to make a fortune】

[No wonder poachers are flocking to it, hey]

With so much money, the audience was really shocked. For a while, the bullet screen was connected, and all kinds of ideas could be seen.

Take a tour of the entire warehouse.

Bi Fang turned to General Julius Kimani with a very emotional tone: Very shocking.

For elephants, the current era is a very dangerous one full of human greed.

Their territories are constantly being encroached upon by humans, and they themselves are in danger of being hunted by humans.

A survey report in 1979 showed that there were about 1.3 million elephants in Africa at that time, but now there are only 500,000 elephants left.

Asia has even fewer elephants, with fewer than 40,000.

Yet even as elephant numbers continue to decline, conflict between humans and them continues to intensify.

In Africa, conflicts between local villagers and elephants occur almost every day.

Some elephants were killed by angry villagers in retaliation after they attacked their livestock.

Of course, this is only a negligible small part. Most of the elephant deaths are due to poachers chasing ivory.

It is true, that's why we will continue to fight against poachers. Julius took off his hat sadly, Even in the future, human beings may never see African elephants with tusks again.

[Ah, why is that? 】

[Nonsense, they are all extinct, how could they still be seen]

No, the reason is not actually extinction, but man-made natural selection.

Bi Fang saw the barrage, explained something to the audience, and at the same time repeated the audience's doubts to everyone present.

Without Bi Fang's personal explanation, Lubia, the assistant to the director, recited a piece of data directly.

In fact, we have done research before, and through a set of statistical data, we found that in the absence of human interference, only 2%-4% of African elephants are born without tusks.

But after severe poaching, these tuskless African elephants are naturally spared, and they naturally become more and more common in the population.

Maybe for survival, among the newborn African elephants, there is a phenomenon that the proportion of tuskless elephants is increasing.

After comparing relevant data, we found that in places where poaching is the most rampant, the proportion of newborn female elephants without tusks has increased to varying degrees.

The rate of tusklessness has risen to 33 per cent in Mosambique. In South Africa, the impact is even worse, where 98 per cent of the 174 female elephants in Addo Elephant National Park are tuskless.

Bi Fang nodded, indicating that this was basically the case.

Perhaps before elephants are truly extinct, there will be no elephants with long tusks in the world.

Such screening is actually very common. For example, some elderly people in coastal areas will find that the fish they catch are getting smaller every year, because under the animal protection law, the fishing nets used should not be too dense to allow small fry to survive.

But every time, not only the small fish survived, but also some small fish due to natural genes. After repeated screening, these groups expanded rapidly, and even occupied the main body.

[Human behavior replaces natural screening (cover face)]

[And it is more accurate. Natural screening is slow, but artificial screening is efficient, so results can be seen in decades. 】

The Kenyan central government has coordinated efforts with 47 local governments and has done a lot in wildlife protection.

For example, the central government funded the establishment of a special fund, and local governments also participated. After the establishment of national parks, local tribal villages were compensated for the losses they suffered in participating in wildlife protection.

80% of the income of the tourism industry comes from wild animals, so the benefits brought by the development of the tourism industry will help Kenya to further improve its protection work.

A series of clichés were uttered from the mouths of several senior officials, and it was unclear whether they were meant for Bi Fang or the audience in front of the live broadcast room.

The smell in the warehouse really made Bi Fang a little uncomfortable. After enduring it for a few minutes, he finally couldn't take it anymore. He sneezed several times in succession, and quickly offered to meet the target of this mission first.

I've finished visiting the warehouse. Is it time to meet Harley next? This is the main purpose of my coming here.

Everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay, and suddenly laughed, which made Bi Fang a little puzzled.

What are you laughing at?

In the end, the Director of the Conservation Center, Stephen Manechini, stood up and sent out an unexpected invitation that no one had thought of.

Inviting Mr. Bi to visit the underground warehouse this time, in addition to using your live broadcast room to promote the importance of poaching and wildlife protection to the world audience, there is actually a second purpose.

Stephen glanced sideways at several colleagues behind him, nodded at the general, and said in a deep voice, We would like you to destroy these ivory.

Bi Fang frowned, and pointed at himself with a rather surprised expression.

I?

Yes.

[What does destroying ivory mean? 】

【destroy? How to destroy it? 】

[Why does Fang Shen seem surprised? 】

[Did you understand brother to elaborate, what is going on here? 】

The audience was a little puzzled by Bi Fang's surprised expression, because he rarely showed such emotions, and most of the time he was confident.

So every time they see this expression, the audience is very curious.

Under such questions, several fans lived up to expectations and dug out the answer.

With millions of fans, there are always some special talents and masters.

[Because the previous actions of destroying ivory were all done by the president himself without exception, it was the first time for a foreigner to come, and on the surface it was just an anchor]

【He's just an ordinary anchor (tactical retreat)】

[Kenya is the first country in the world to publicly destroy ivory. Ivory has been destroyed three times since then. In 1989, 12 tons were destroyed, in 11 years, 5 tons were destroyed, and in 15 years, 15 tons were destroyed. 】

[In 2011 and 2015, it was Kenyan President Kenyatta who burned piles of ivory. The 12 tons of stockpiled ivory destroyed in 1989 was also in the same place, and it was done by the former president of Kenya, Moyi. 】

[So from this point of view, it is a very special honor for Fang Shen to do this. 】

All three operations took place in Nairobi National Park, leaving one black and two white piles of ivory wreckage, showing the world Kenya's commitment to combating poaching and wildlife smuggling.

Kenya has thus become the first country to destroy confiscated ivory.

Since then, countries such as Ethiopia, Gabon, Taiguo and even China have followed suit, destroying at least 240 tons of ivory.

【Too bold】

[I feel so stupid, why don't you sell these ivory for money, and then develop]

[Coincidentally, some people used to think that instead of burning these ivory, it is better to sell it for hundreds of millions of ugly dollars to promote the development of the country, but the president of Kenya said at the time: I agree that Kenya is a poor country, but we There is a rich heritage. Some people say that this operation will not work, and that burning so much ivory and rhino horn will cause the market price to soar, which will in turn encourage more rampant poaching. We did not make mistakes, and time will prove their mistakes.”]

[Awesome! ! 】

[I guess this trick is useful, otherwise there would not be so many countries following suit (dog head)]

【Fang Shen is really getting more and more promising】

[As a viewer who has followed the first live broadcast to the present, I was really moved to see this scene, and I feel that I have witnessed history. Fang Shen is so handsome! 】

[Here it is, mother fan! 】

[It's really handsome, the general director personally came to invite him]

[Prince Mu presented a spaceship to the anchor*66——Congratulations to Fang Shen! 】

[Lin Chang presented the anchor yacht *666——Congratulations to Fang Shen! 】

Under the active explanation of some audience members, everyone also understood how important it was to invite Bi Fang to the so-called destruction ceremony.

You must know that Bi Fang is a foreigner, this is a real deduction item, but even so, he still chooses to let him come, it can only show that his status has reached an unprecedented height.

Even the President of Kenya believes that it would be better to give up the opportunity this time.

This can't help but make the audience feel proud, as if they were the ones invited.

Therefore, many people directly sent out barrage, asking Bi Fang to agree.

Bi Fang's decision did not disappoint everyone, and he was equally excited about being able to participate in such a ceremony. Not everyone has the opportunity to be invited.

Oh no, so far only myself has it!

Without any hesitation, he immediately agreed.

The director who sent out the invitation smiled even more happily.

When will the ceremony begin?

Don't worry, it's just a preliminary draft, and there is still a lot of preparation work. When Mr. Bi sends Harley back to the grassland, this ivory destruction ceremony will become the final closing ceremony.

It's my pleasure.

Bi Fang once again shook hands with everyone present.

After walking out of the underground warehouse and seeing the sun again, Bi Fang felt a little more satisfied with the journey that hadn't started yet.

Okay, I know everyone is very happy now, but don't forget the most important purpose of our visit to the protection center this time.

I guess everyone must have been waiting for a long time, and want to know what the content of this live broadcast is, but before that, allow me to introduce you to a new live broadcast partner.

Bi Fang folded his palms together in the shape of a hand flute, blowing air, and a loud whistle echoed endlessly.

Just when everyone present was wondering, there was a slight noise in the grass beside him, and soon, a big mouse crawled out of it. After seeing Bi Fang, he quickly stepped forward, grabbed his trousers and climbed up. Finally, it rested firmly on the shoulders.

Before entering the protection center and the live broadcast officially started, Bi conveniently let Jerry move around freely, and did not let the audience see him for the first time.

Although there are many wild animals here, they are all blocked by barbed wire. Bi Fang is not worried about any danger it will encounter.

But the audience who saw this scene were a little dumbfounded.

What is this thing?

Where did it come from?

How can rats grow so big?

Is it the result of training just now?

【From Goudan to Alpha, I knew this kid was good at taming animals (dog head)】

[I am mad, will taming animals do it too? 】

[Nonsense, I have no skills, why don't you try to tame wild camels? 】

The audience was not surprised that Bi Fang was able to train a mouse so well, but was curious about the identity of the mouse.

This is my new partner. Bi Fang teased Jerry on his shoulder, and said with a smile, A Gambian rat.

The role and function of the gambia rat were revealed, and the audience was immediately eye-opened. They did not expect that there are rats capable of clearing mines in the world.

It's nothing short of amazing.

[Damn, now that I'm talking about it, I remembered that there were mouse dolls on the shelves around the club that day, and I was still wondering how this thing came out! 】

【Boss Yao is always one step ahead】

[His shipment rate has always been good. 】

[It's really cute, that is to say, it won't be Fang Shen's one-man show in the future, and there will be a partner? 】

That's right.

Bi Fang followed behind the staff, approaching the direction of the cheetah Harley, and no longer kept his secrets, he revealed the mission goal this time.

I know that everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time. Actually, it is very simple to say. The goal of this mission is to help a cheetah Halley rescued by the conservation center reintegrate into the African savannah while crossing the savannah, and help it go wild. change.

【Cheetah! It really is a cheetah, I knew it was this thing! 】

[The shadow on the poster is too obvious]

[Pick the big cat! Moo Da Nai! 】

【This is so cool】

[Fangshen, forever god! 】

【Too strong, really handsome】

Speaking of this, the staff finally brought Bi Fang to the iron net.

A slender and graceful golden cheetah covered with black spots rested quietly on the ground. Through the barbed wire, everyone could still see its undulating chest, and its fluffy hair swayed slightly in the breeze.

The audience faltered for a moment.

This is the king of land speed, the golden lightning!

It's beautiful isn't it?

Seeing this scene, the staff couldn't help admiring Bi Fang.

That's right. Bi Fang agreed 100% with the other party's opinion.
