For the love of tigers, she sets them free

Quan Li says she fell in love with tigers when she first saw them in a Beijing zoo as a girl, unaware that one day she would help save these animals from extinction.

Quan, a former fashion executive who started a charity to help introduce South China tigers back into the wild in 2000, has proven that rewilding tigers works, because the five animals she took from China to South Africa have now turned 14.

Not only that, but Quan hopes to pass on her expertise to other people and organizations to help other endangered species.
