Imagine trading bustling city life for misty mountain trails and the company of rare wildlife 🦌. That’s exactly what Xiao Fei did after graduating, swapping lecture halls for the lush Tangjiahe National Nature Reserve in the Chinese mainland. 🌄
Now, as a guardian of biodiversity, Xiao Fei spends his days patrolling forests, tracking animal movements, and documenting plant growth. 🌱 ‘These creatures aren’t just data points – they’re family,’ he says, recalling moments like spotting golden snub-nosed monkeys swinging through ancient trees.
His work? Think ‘Nat Geo meets notebook science’ 📸: using cameras to monitor elusive pandas, braving rugged terrain, and braving -15°C winters to protect ecosystems. For Xiao Fei, joy comes in quiet moments: ‘Hearing birdsong at sunrise beats any office job alarm clock!’ 🎶
His story is inspiring a wave of eco-conscious graduates to rethink career paths. As climate challenges grow, roles like his remind us that saving nature starts with passionate individuals. 💪
