Jiang Yiyan hugs Sudan

Chinese celebrity on a mission to help conserve africa’s wildlife through raising awareness

英国最先在处理有机化合物(VOC)的蓄热换向流反应器基础上发展了一种氧化利用系统-VOCSIDIZERTM技术[8]，该系统为一种蓄热式热力氧化器(图1)，其技术原理为依靠进气中甲烷组分的无焰氧化释放热量，并通过热量循环维持燃烧区域的高温状态，将进气预热至点火温度以上，从而维持氧化反应自发进行下去，系统维持热量平衡多余的热量可生产过热蒸汽或通过汽轮机发电。

On March 20, Sudan, the last male northern white rhino, died in Kenya, leaving behind only two white female species of its kind,Naju, Sudan’s daughter, and Fatu, his granddaughter.

The subspecies have roamed the planet for some 50 million years, and was once abundant on the grasslands of central Africa.Sudan’s death marked the beginning of the subspecies’ extinction, which is constantly being hastened by mankind’s desire for the horns.

Statistics carried out by an international non-pro fit wildlife protection organization WildAid revealed that over the past 40 years,90 percent of rhinos were wiped out as a result of rampant poaching and destruction of their habitats. This has prompted efforts by wildlife conservationists to take action.

On April 10, during 2018 Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference, ChinAfrica reporter Hou Weili spoke with Jiang Yiyan,a renowned Chinese entertainment celebrity dedicated to nature and wildlife protection, who shared her experiences on African wildlife, particularly rhinos.

ChinAfrica: What inspired you to become a wildlife conservationist and to film the documentary on the white rhinos in Africa?Jiang Yiyan: I was chosen by WildAid. I love and respect what nature has offered.Over the past 10 years, I have been to Africa several times when my work permitted.

Jiang began to serve as WildAid ambassador in 2016 and is no stranger to Africa.Prior to this, she made several visits to Kenya, Tanzania and Ethiopia among other countries. During that year, together with WildAid, they filmed a documentary titled The Last of the Rhino in an effort to create awareness for the conservation of wildlife.

[I will do] everything in my capacity. I encourage the public to take immediate action to stop recurrence of similar tragedies which led to the fate of Sudan and Little Girl. They don’t just belong to Africa and Asia, but the entire planet. I will correct the public’s misconception on the value of rhino horns. Scientifically, the components of rhino horns are mainly keratin, which I believe should not be abused as a prescription to cure diseases. I intend to advocate for animal rights and eradication of poaching. In my opinion, collectors who want the horns as artifacts should visit the savanna more. Perhaps this will change their perceptions toward animals. Once they see how cruel it is to kill an animal just to get the horn, they might feel shame and pity.

I took photos of the savanna, wrote Africa-related stories, and held a photography exhibition to showcase my works, most of which were inspired by the beautiful African wildlife and its hospitable people.I believe they appreciated my effort toward sharing the same vision in regard to nature conservation.

I thought I was well acquainted with Africa before WildAid approached me [to help their cause and film the documentary].But then I learned the fate of endangered rhinos, and that they are on the edge of extinction. I was shocked. I felt the urge to do something positive. So I took the job without hesitation.

“儿童的智慧在指尖上。”动手操作能让学生在体验的同时获得直接经验，促进思维的发展。数学活动经验，是学生不断经历、体验各种数学活动过程的结晶，只有在不断的“做”和“思考”的过程中才能积累起来。

实话实说，本期针锋相对是我们结论下得最晚的一次。当你越是了解两台机器的特性，就越难分辨孰好孰坏。对于拍摄体育或者野生动物这类“硬核”需求，尼康D500的优势明显。尽管两者纸面数据非常接近，但在极限条件下，D500的光学取景器具备先天优势，表现超强的对焦系统保证了更高的拍摄成功率，再加上超大的缓存容量以及更快速的存储介质支持，D500在这一领域上优势明显。

As a public figure, what can you do to save wildlife?

During the documentary shoot, I learned the hands-on experience of the dangers and challenges of being a wildlife ambassador.I was impressed by the way that mankind and animals could live in harmony. I went to see an orphan baby rhino; I call her Little Girl. She was under the watch and care of local soldiers who taught her how to use her horn, to bathe, and to claim territory. It was like a father-to-daughter relationship.I was deeply moved by such a beautiful picture. I still sympathize with this orphan rhino as she has to live the rest of her life as an endangered species owing to human perversity.

Initially, I visited Africa as a tourist and freelance photographer, with enthusiasm for the continent. I wanted to share the beauty of what I saw through my lens with my fellow countrymen in the best way I could. But I had no idea a cruel reality hid behind such beauty. These poor rhino species are constantly under threat from human brutality.Nevertheless, I’m glad to say ever since I partnered with WildAid for the cause of wildlife conservation, I developed a personal sense of responsibility in preserving nature to fight wildlife extinction.

Some poachers have a disregard for nature. I would describe their relationship with wildlife as brutal.

In the case of Sudan, I first met him in 2016, but I was saddened when I learned that he only had three months to live. When I came back to China, I continued to make follow-ups on him via social media. I was devastated when I heard the news [of his passing away].

You mentioned you visited Africa prior to this on several occasions. Can you highlight the differences between being a tourist and a wildlife conservationist?

Could you describe your experience whilst you were shooting the documentary, The Last of the Rhino, and take us through your personal encounter with Sudan? What impressed you the most during this trip?As a foreigner, I suppose when you visit Africa for the first time, you are wowed every day. It’s amazing and filled with daily refreshing experiences.

As an actress whose face is her fortune,shooting such a documentary will not earn too much fame or money. Why did you still choose to do it?

图8所示为连接本文所提电路的压电片两个输出端之间的压差波形。图9所示为同步开关控制信号(上)与压电片一端电压的波形(下)对应图。在压电片输出一端的上升沿和下降沿开关控制信号都会产生一个瞬间的低电平,并且紧紧跟随。实验中开关是用两个背靠背的PMOS管实现,当控制信号为低电平时,开关闭合,L-C谐振开始。一旦L-C谐振结束,电感中无电流,同步开关马上断开。本文提出的电路中整个L-C谐振过程开关的通断时间由检测电路得到,可根据电路参数进行自适应。

Indeed, the trips were tough. People around me say they’ve never known actresses like me not worrying about their appearance. But what matters to me is what I have done to positively in fluence people around me, what my value to others is, and what I can offer.

It is not just about fame and commercial gains. It is about meaning as a person.I hope I can combine the cause with my career. For example, I intend to shoot more movies relating to wildlife protection so that more and more people can learn about nature and wildlife through my films. I am nature-loving. Maybe that is the reason why I want to be a role model who inspires others to enjoy it, too. Actually, we all have the responsibility to protect our planet.

What are your future plans regarding wildlife conservation in Africa?

I plan to revisit the Kenyan conservancy soon to check on Little Girl, and work on more wildlife campaigns there. I’d like to promote African nature-tours among the Chinese public. One thing is for sure, once you see the wildlife face to face, you will grow to love them more and be inspired to spontaneously protect them. I believe commercial tours will contribute to local tourism, job creation and revenue increase so that the host countries can improve people’s livelihood and better protect the wildlife.Our future generations should have the opportunity to co-exist with wildlife, such as the northern white rhinos. It’s our generation’s responsibility to take action to enable this to happen. Without wildlife, our planet would be an incomplete ecosystem. ca
