(230703) -- GOLMUD, July 3, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This file photo taken in March 2019 shows Lian Xinming (R, front) collecting samples in the Sanjiangyuan area in northwest China's Qinghai Province. Lian Xinming, a researcher at the Northwest Institute of Plateau Biology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has dedicated more than 20 years of research to Tibetan antelopes since he first set foot on Hoh Xil in 2002. "Tibetan antelope protection stands as a successful example of human involvement in rescuing endangered animals," said Lian. "Using advanced technology to gain insights into what lies behind the migration of a species can also inspire the research and conservation efforts for other species." According to the Sanjiangyuan National Park Administration, the population of Tibetan antelopes in the Hoh Xil national natural reserve has recovered from less than 20,000 during the initial stages of protection to more than 70,000.

Three generations of researchers at the Institute of Hydrobiology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have spent decades rescuing and nursing endangered species - the Baiji dolphin and the Yangtze finless porpoise. The latter is dubbed the "smiling angel of the Yangtze River" as its slightly curly lips resemble those of a smiling person. Baiji dolphin Qi Qi passed away in July 2002 after living for more than 22 years at the Baiji Dolphin House under CAS Institute of Hydrobiology in Wuhan. There was no more Baiji dolphin at the house after Qi Qi's death, but the house and the Wuhan Baiji Conservation Foundation kept their names unchanged. Researchers there decided to apply protective measures designed for Baiji dolphins to their "cousins" - Yangtze finless porpoises. Eleven Yangtze finless porpoises are
