Boundless Love
2018
This series follows Renzeng Duojie and his wife De Zoji, who have dedicated their life to the task of rescuing abandoned and injured wild animals, and returning them to their natural habitat. The Tibetan couple established the Guli Hezhilong Wildlife Protection Rescue Station in Dulan County, China, on a snowy plateau located 4,200 meters above sea level, which has become their home and life’s work. Having raised over 700,000 yuan to aid wild animals, they are recognized for rescuing and releasing more than 100 rock sheep, 40 cattle, goose-throated antelope, red deer, white-lipped deer, and a total of 18 Tibetan antelopes.
The work of photographer and wildlife conservation volunteer Song Linji is directed toward raising awareness about environmental protection. The photographs that comprise Boundless Love, often captured in challenging weather conditions and amid dangerous wild animals like brown bears and wolves, showcase and reflect the couple’s compassion for animals, treating them as if they were kin, and their commitment to wildlife protection.
