Antelope
The Tibetan antelope was an endangered animal, but because of human protection action，its numbers are now recovering. Reserve(自然保护区) in western China are set up and covers an area of about 120,000 square miles. lt was created to protect the area and the wildlife that live there. The Tibetan antelope is one of the rarest creatures on the Tibetan Plateau (高原). It is well-known for its fine fur(皮毛), so it was poached (偷猎) and was driven to the brink (边缘) of extinction years ago.

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.

My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The reserve is a shelter for the animals and plants of northwestern Tibet. To Zhaxi, 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.”

In the evening, I 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 harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.
