An environmental activist is determined to return to the snow-covered mountain area of Yanqing county this coming weekend to feed wild animals, despite having been stranded there for two days this week.
"I'm totally fine now, but the animals on the mountain are not, they are starving because of the earlier blizzard," said Zhang Jiao, who moved to Jiuliliang mountain, Liubinbao village 17 years ago when she started an afforestation project, which she said was starting to see good results.
"Wild boar, foxes, rabbits and birds have started to appear on this formerly barren mountain. I can't give up on them," she said Thursday night at her mother's house in the city.
Zhang Xin, leader of Yanqing branch of Blue Sky rescue team, said six people spent four hours helping her and three men she hired Wednesday morning.
"They were out of food and electricity for two days after the storm swept the area. Zhang Jiao was very weak as she has heart disease," said Zhang Xin.
