在云间度过的一天
空气很稀薄，我们不得不在离开营地的短途徒步旅行中休息多次。在我们的左方，白雪皑皑的群山消失在似乎触手可及的云层中。放眼平原，我们隐约看到一群体形优美的动物。这就是我们来到此地的原因——观察藏羚羊。
藏羚羊生活在西藏、新疆和青海的平原上。看着它们在绿色的草地上缓慢移动。我被其美丽所震撼，也想到了它们所处的险境。因其珍贵的羊毛，它们正遭受非法猎杀 。
我的导游扎西是一位来自羌塘的村民。他在羌塘国家自然保护区工作。该保护区是西藏西北部动植物的庇护所。对于扎西来说，这片土地是神圣的，保护野生动植物是一种生活方式。“我们不是在试图拯救动物。”他说道，“其实我们是在努力拯救自己。”
在云间度过的一天
对于藏羚羊来说，二十世纪八九十年代是一个悲惨的时代。藏羚羊数量减少了50%以上。猎人们为了谋利而射杀它们。随着新公路和铁路的修建，藏羚羊的栖息地也不断缩小。

A DAY IN THE CLOUDS
The air is thin and we have to rest several times on the short hike from camp. To our left. snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch. On the plain in front of us, we can just make out a herd of graceful animals. This is why we're here-to observe Tibetan antelopes.
Tibetan antelopes live on the plains of Tibet, Xinjiang. and Qinghai. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I'm stuck by their beauty. i'm also reminded of the danger they are in.They are being hunted, ilegally, for their valuable fur.
Myguide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature ReseveThe reserve is a shelter for the animals and plants of northwestern TibetToZhaxi, the land is sacred and protecting the wildlife is a way of life. "We're not trying to save the animals," he says. "Actually, we're trying to save ourselves."
The 1980 sand 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelope. The population dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters were shooting antelopes to make profts. Theirhabitatswere becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built.
In order to save this species from extinction, the Chinese government placed it under national protection.Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes dayand night to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.
The measures were effective.The antelope population has recovered and in June2015,the Tibetan antelope was removed from the endangered species list. The government.howeverdoes notintend to stop the protection programmes. since the threats to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared.
In the evening, drink a cup of tea and watch the stars. I think about the antelopes and what Zhaxi told me.Much is being done to protect wildlife, but if we really want to save the planet, we must change our way of life. Only when we learn to exist in harmonywith nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.
Thank You!
