I received my bachelor degree from Southwest Forestry University in 2013, majoring in Nature Conservation. The four years’ undergraduate study inspired me to work in nature conservation and built a solid base for my future career.
Encouraged by my parents, I have loved nature and enjoyed what it provides us from a very young age. As I grew up, I learned a lot from people who have engaged in this field through participating in diverse projects.
During my undergraduate study, I have been a volunteer for the Bird Watching Festival at the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Xishuangbanna, funded by Swaroski. I was involved in the “Synchronized counting of black-headed gull” project carried out by Kunming Forestry Administration in 2012 and 2013. Furthermore, I gained the opportunity to participate in “Snow leopard behavior research in captivity” and “Population monitoring and habitat assessment of Indo-Chinese tiger in its historical distribution area in Yunnan province”. The more projects I am involved in, the more eager I am to learn more and devote myself to my nature conservation career. All these experiences helped me to gain first hand understanding of the characteristics a conservation biologist should possess. Not only does he need to be persistent and concentrated, one should study and work hard to make progress and step forward.
I’m currently pursuing my master degree and trying my best to do something meaningful.
