CHINA-QINGHAI-HOH XIL-TIBETAN ANTELOPES-GUARDIANS(CN)
(230815) -- XINING, Aug. 15, 2023 (Xinhua) -- A staffer with the Drolkar Lake protection station of the Hoh Xil management office checks the condition of trapped vehicles in Hoh Xil, northwest China's Qinghai Province, June 16, 2023. Located in Sanjiangyuan National Park, Hoh Xil is an important habitat for Tibetan antelopes which enjoy first-class state protection in China. Around May each year, tens of thousands of pregnant Tibetan antelopes start their migration to Hoh Xil to give birth, leaving with their offspring in late July. The Drolkar Lake area in Hoh Xil is a crucial birthplace of the species.
Renowned as one of the world's most breathtaking migrations of hoofed animals, this majestic journey of Tibetan antelopes has to confront with extreme weather and invasion of wild animals. Patrollers of Hoh Xil have been guarding Tibetan antelopes for decades.
Hoh Xil stands as China's largest world natural heritage site, maintaining a high-altitude ecosystem and iconic species of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
