flag Rangers in Xinjiang’s Altun Mountain Reserve protect endangered species, with antelope and yak populations surging due to advanced conservation efforts.

flag In Xinjiang’s Altun Mountain National Nature Reserve, rangers are protecting one of Earth’s most remote high-altitude ecosystems, where Tibetan antelope numbers have more than doubled since 2010 to over 65,000 and wild yak populations have reached around 12,000. flag Spanning 45,000 square kilometers at elevations up to 4,800 meters, the reserve safeguards rare species like snow leopards and black-necked cranes. flag Using drones, infrared cameras, and improved infrastructure, a team of about 70 rangers patrols extreme terrain with subzero temperatures and thin air, deterring illegal activity and monitoring wildlife. flag Their efforts are part of broader Chinese conservation initiatives in western China, aimed at enhancing biodiversity, green development, and scientific research in challenging high-altitude environments.
