Every July, Altun Shan National Nature Reserve in the Chinese mainland's Xinjiang region transforms into a bustling nursery as Tibetan antelopes begin their peak calving season. This frigid plateau ecosystem, one of the world’s most delicate, provides the perfect backdrop for these graceful creatures to give birth and nurture their young.
Located amid windswept grasslands and rolling hills, the reserve is a cornerstone of conservation efforts. Rangers and researchers work year-round to protect habitats, monitor herds, and ensure that mothers and calves can navigate the harsh terrain safely.
For the first time, CGTN is offering a live stream of this remarkable event, giving wildlife enthusiasts and digital nomads alike an immersive view of antelopes embarking on one of nature’s most inspiring journeys. Through the lens of the livestream, viewers can witness newborn calves taking their first steps and the tender moments that define their earliest days.
By shining a light on the Tibetan antelopes’ calving season, the reserve underscores the importance of preserving high-altitude ecosystems. As these herds grow and thrive, they become symbols of resilience and hope—proof that targeted protection can safeguard fragile environments for generations to come.
