IFAW gives Tibetan antelope more space to roam
Dr. Zhang added: “Now that conservation efforts are able to shift their emphasis from anti-poaching towards habitat protection, we think it is highly important to help rebuild the nature reserves to international standards. Pulling down the fencing remains one of IFAW’s priority initiatives. Its success will return some free-roaming space to the Tibetan antelopes and other wild animals. We wish that other management authorities would recognize this problem and help restore the natural environment for Tibetan Antelope in the near future.”
The Deputy Director of Arjinshan Nature Reserve Huibin Zhang said: “ We thank IFAW for its support upgrading our management capacities, and for its help with the restoration of Tibetan Antelopes’ natural habitat. We will maintain this effort and will work to demolish another 5000 acres of fences next year.”
IFAW is continuing to work with other Nature reserves in Xinjiang, Qinghai
and Tibet, Province of China to strengthen the collaboration in
decrementing Tibetan antelope’s habitat loss in larger area.
