On the morning of June 19th, Dr. Kevin Messenger, accompanied by his wife Li Yecheng and their friend Wang Qi, a coral expert from Guangxi University, attended the signing ceremony at Shennongjia National Park to officially appoint Dr. Messenger as a specialist in wildlife monitoring. In the afternoon, rather than venturing into the wild to search for snakes, they followed the arrangement of the CCTV production team for indoor shooting. Dr. Messenger held a snake in his hands and explained its habits while the CCTV staff filmed several shots.
We spent some time with experts and scholars involved, travelling with them, discussing with them in online groups and listening to interesting stories of plants and animals they told. We have broadened our horizons and learned a lot from them, especially, their reverence for science.。
On May 10, 2022, the nature education website and App of Shennongjia National Park and the "Popular Science Education" WeChat Applet were officially launched.
