Improved protection assists delivery of antelopes

Thanks to the government's protection efforts, patrol stations are abundant. However, there is a slight problem of conflict between nomads and wildlife in Tibet, he said.

"The nomads put fences on the grassland to protect the grass and distinguish their own share of grassland, but sometimes these hinder the normal activity of the Tibetan antelopes," he said, adding that passageways must be cut through the fences to let the animals through.

"The government of the Tibet autonomous region has taken action in recent years to give more protected space to wildlife by relocating nomads from places at altitudes above 4,800 meters to other places in the region," he said.

"Relocation of nomadic families from extremely high altitudes is a smart measure, and we also need to have more high-tech facilities to carry out surveys and protection work in the reserves."

According to a staff member at the Nagchu bureau of forestry and grassland, the city has been working to provide a better habitat for many rare wildlife species, including the Tibetan antelope. The city's ecological protection measures include operating 73 management stations. In addition, it employs 780 professional patrol officers who have worked year-round for the safety of wildlife since 2015.

Around the habitat of the Tibetan antelope in the Serling Tso National Park in Shanza and Palgon counties, 64 full-time staff guard the passageways, resting areas and birthing places.
