In an exciting development for wildlife conservation, a scientific expedition team has uncovered the second-largest breeding ground for Tibetan antelopes on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau in northwest China's Qinghai Province.
The newly discovered habitat, located in the western part of Sanjiangyuan National Park, is home to an estimated 80,000 to 100,000 Tibetan antelopes. This discovery highlights the region's critical role in supporting these majestic creatures.
The expedition was a collaborative effort, involving personnel from the Shaanxi Institute of Zoology, the Forestry and Grassland Bureau of Xizang, and the Forestry and Grassland Bureau of Amduo County. Their joint efforts led them to areas including Amduo County in the northern part of southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region.
Sanjiangyuan National Park, often referred to as the \"Three Rivers Source,\" is a vital ecological zone that supports a diverse range of species. The discovery of this significant breeding ground underscores the importance of continued conservation efforts in the region.
Scientists and conservationists are hopeful that this finding will pave the way for enhanced protection measures to ensure the survival and thriving of Tibetan antelopes in their natural habitat.
