”Therefore, when seeing no one is about to help these adorable little creatures, Li decided to take matters into his own hands. In 2014, he organized a team of 20 volunteers in his attempt to track down the cute animal in order to establish its numbers and therefore, to help at the conservation of the species. Sadly, Li who spent most of his savings to fund the research, hit a totally lack of interest from the authorities.

So I really hope that an organization will have people study and protect the Ili Pika,” the conservationist added.
According to Mr. Li, the adorable creatures used to be found up to 13,450 feet in the Tianshian mountains. What do you think of about this subject.Please write.
