Meet Simba, the man devoting his life to protecting wildlife in Kenya

This short film  introduces us to Zhou Qiang, also known as Simba, the first Chinese person to dedicate his life to wildlife conservation in Africa. Zhuo left a secure government postion in 2011 to move to Kenya  and protect wild animals.
