The fresh thin air, snow-covered mountains and graceful animals running on the plains are we're here-to observe Tibetan antelopes, which are being hunted, (legal), for their valuable fur.
My guide is Zhaxi, who works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. "We're not trying to save the animals,"he says. "Actually, we're trying to save (we)."
During the 1980s and 1990s, the population of Tibetan antelopes dropped by more than 50 percent, as hunters were shooting antelopes to make (profit). To save this species from extinction, the Chinese government placed it under national protection. Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from(attack). Bridges and gates( add ) to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.
Asresult, the antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope was removed from the (danger) species list. The govermment, however, does not intend(stop) the protection programmes, since the threats to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared.
Only when we learn to live in harmony with nature we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.
