In the heart of Jiangsu Province, amidst the green embrace of the Dafeng Milu National Nature Reserve, a true wildlife hero is at work. Meet park ranger Yao Yajun, the guardian angel of the elusive milu deer .
Every day, Yao embarks on a mission to rescue milu deer that find themselves trapped or injured in the vast wetlands. With patience and compassion, he navigates through thick reeds and muddy terrains, all to ensure these majestic creatures are safe and sound.
\"Seeing a milu deer return to the wild after a rescue is the best reward,\" Yao says with a smile.
The milu deer, also known as Père David's deer, were once extinct in the wild but have made a remarkable comeback thanks to conservation efforts. The Dafeng Reserve is now a sanctuary where they roam freely, symbolizing hope and resilience.
Yao's dedication is a reminder of the difference one person can make in preserving our planet's biodiversity.
