Pregnant Tibetan Antelope Rescue - China

In this video screenshot, a pregnant Tibetan antelope is hunted by a wolf 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 Dawa Dorje/Xin

CHINA-QINGHAI-YUSHU-ANGSAI CANYON-RANGER (CN)

(230225) -- YUSHU, Feb. 25, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Gecho Chopee checks out a white-lipped deer that has been recently hunted at the Angsai Canyon in Angsai Township of Zaduo County, Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, northwest China's Qinghai Province, Feb. 21, 2023. Gecho Chopee is an ecological ranger of Sanjiangyuan National Park. He is responsible for patrolling a section of the Angsai Canyon in Qinghai Province. The unique climatic and geographical conditions have created a diverse ecosystem in the Angsai Canyon and made it a good habitat for a number of rare species such as snow leopards, Tibetan blue bear, lynx and white-lipped deer. Before 2005, snow leopards were rarely seen at the Angsai Canyon. With the continuous efforts of environmental protection, there are more snow leopards in the canyon in recent years. The improvement of ecological environment brings snow leopards a better life, so does the herders' families. Starting from 2018, local government has provided each herder family here wit
