Over the past 2 years, Zhang has spread the stories of these Tibetan wildlife rangers to cities such as Lhasa, Beijing and Shanghai, garnering greater attention to the valuable work that they do.

Consequently, they have secured sponsorships and have been able to purchase three cameras, a camcorder and 10 night-vision cameras.

Some clothing brands and companies producing cultural products have been moved by the stories of the rangers and provided them and their families with opportunities for remote work, asking them to produce locally distinctive handicrafts.

"We are continuously expanding collaborative public welfare projects related to ecological reserves and rural sustainable development, hoping to attract more social enterprises and individuals to participate and contribute," Zhang said.

In August, Zhang began designing and producing Tibetan language courses on how to shoot and produce videos with mobile phones. Perhaps in the future, more wildlife rangers will have access to these skills, and more precious wildlife images will be recorded and shared, she said.
