Tibetan Antelopes Migration - China

Tibetan antelopes prepare to cross the Senlong Zangbo River in Changtang National Nature Reserve in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, July 14, 2025. The Senlong Zangbo River, located in Changtang National Nature Reserve in Nagqu, is a vital migration route for Tibetan antelopes. Each July, Tibetan antelope calves and their mothers cross the river and migrate to their habitats. Over the past three years, the number of Tibetan antelope migrating across this river has exceeded 150,000 each year. Thanks to effective conservation measures, the number of Tibetan antelopes in Xizang has increased to more than 300,000, according to data from the region's ecology and environment department.

The record of the tallest tree in the Chinese mainland has been refreshed several times in the past year or so. Last year in April, a research team led by Peking University found a 76.8-meter tree in Medog County in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region, marking China's tallest tree at the time. The record was broken a month later when an 83.2-meter tree was found in Zayu County. This year in May, the record has been refreshed again, as the giant cypress measuring 102.3 meters was discovered in Bome County in Tibet Autonomous Region.

The Gyaimaryangzhong Glacier is the source of the Yarlung Zangbo River, China's longest plateau river. To fight against the glacier shrinkage and other environmental challenges, China's top legislature adopted a law in late April to protect the fragile ecosystem of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known as "the roof of the world." The law requires establishing and improving the protection system of snow-capped mountains, glaciers and frozen soil on the plateau, and also aims to strengthen the monitoring, early warning and systematic protection of these natural resources. According to the newly-adopted law, provincial-level governments on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau must establish and promote the implementation of ecological conservation red lines for large ice caps and glaciers, as well as for groups of small glaciers.
