Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

From March 2 to 4, 2018, the Chinese Embassy in South Africa held a charity sale during its two-day "Panda Chengdu" Happy Lantern Festival to raise money for the Kruger National Park of South Africa (克鲁格国家公园) to celebrate World Wildlife Day. The event was held in the China Mall in Johannesburg. All non-legacy exhibitions and American food reviews on the site are in the form of a charity sale. In total, the charity sale raised ZAR 200,000, which was donated to the Kruger National Park during a ceremony on March 4, 2018. The donation was handed over by the Chinese Ambassador to South Africa, Lin Song, to the CEO of Kruger National Park, Glen Philip. The donation would be used for wildlife protection, including anti-poaching efforts, in the park.
