Xue Dandan, 35, is the head of the security department of Dafeng Milu National Nature Reserve in Jiangsu. After graduating in 2016, she devoted herself to patrol management and public science education of milu deer in the reserve. When she first arrived, she knew little about the species. Over the past nine years, Xue has immersed herself in relevant materials, consulted experts and scholars, and conducted regular field patrols with colleagues. While constantly enriching her knowledge on the species, she has also translated professional knowledge of milu deer protection into accessible information for the public. Through daily work, Xue has developed a deep bond with milu deer. She helped villagers rescue a milu deer trapped by nets, and also participated in building an intelligent platform, which monitors the biodiversity of milu deer habitats.
