(230703) -- GOLMUD, July 3, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Lian Xinming looks up at the drone he uses to monitor an overnight habitat of Tibetan antelopes during their migration near the Qumar River Bridge along the Qinghai-Tibet Highway in Hoh Xil, a natural reserve in northwest China's Qinghai Province, on the early hours of June 16, 2023. 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."
