The Yangtze alligator, which has lived on Earth for over 200 million years, is a first-class protected animal endemic to China. The species, also known as Chinese alligator, lives along the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the longest waterway in the country. Zhang Hongan lives near the Hongxing Reservoir in Xuancheng City, where he once accidentally found the trail of wild Yangtze alligators in 1982. In the more than 40 years from then on, Zhang's parents and brother had become rangers for Yangtze alligators. In 2024, Zhang Hongan took over the duty, working as a field ranger in Anhui Yangtze alligator national nature reserve. Today, 26 rangers and 170 micro-grid staff are devoted in the protection of the habitat of Yangtze alligators. The Anhui

    Pregnant Tibetan Antelope Rescue - China

    A ranger builds an improvised shelter for an injured Tibetan antelope in Qiangtang National Nature Reserve in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, June 14, 2024. Not far from a wildlife protection camp deep in the Qiangtang National Nature Reserve, a wolf on Friday attacked a pregnant Tibetan antelope among a migrating herd, leaving wounds in her stomach and neck. At the sight of the antelope struggling in the snow, several rangers carried her back to the camp for rescue. Unfortunately, her belly was slashed open and internal organs were damaged beyond cure. The rangers had no other choice but to sew up her belly and send her back to the wild, where she was found dead the next morning. Every year, tens of thousands of pregnant Tibetan antelopes, a species under first-class state protection in China, start their migration around May for birth-giving and would return with their cubs in late July. Their natural enemies including wolves and bears are always there to ambush them. Photo by Xinhua/Fei Maohua/
