Statistical data from the Tibetan Autonomous Region Forestry Department indicate that 125 kinds of ClassI and ClassII national protected animals live on the 1.2 million square meters Tibetan landscape, of which 100 are endangered species. Nowadays, the number of every kind of Tibetan endangered wild animals has attained renewed increases,reported by Xinhua.

Many different kinds of vegetation and animal wildlife grow and breed on this varied Tibetan landscape. Tibet has 795 kinds of vertebra wildlife, and the number of large and medium sized wild animals is ranked first in the country, and the wildlife population communities are ranked third.

Liu Wulin, a Tibetan wild animal research specialist, explains that during the 1980's, because Tibetan antelope pelts commanded a high price on the international market, it led to a destructive amount of them. The Tibetan antelope became an international endangered species.

Following this, the government established four large national conservation districts in the main habitats of Tibetan antelope - and the Tibetan antelope population began to progressively recover. On the basis of tentative estimates, the Tibetan antelope population within Tibet has surpassed 180,000.

Furthermore, the Tibetan red deer, which had disappeared for more than half a century, has once again reappeared amongst people, with exceeding 400. In the Sangri Tibetan Red Deer Conservation District, people and the red deer get along with each other harmoniously. Anu, who lives in the conservation district, said that after nightfall, the Tibetan red deer come down from the mountains in great numbers to drink water, "It's become a normal sight, just like seeing the yaks on the plateau.

The Snow Leopard, a nationally protected animal, has a worldwide population of less than 10,000, and is mainly distributed over the Tibet-Qinghai Plateau and the Pamir mountain range. Last year in September, the Mt. Qomolangma Snow Leopard Conservation Center set up infra-red trigger cameras to capture the snow leopard for the first time in its natural habitat in order to provide a physical basis to research and protect the animal.

In order to provide this wildlife with a better habitat environment, the Tibetan Forestry System has already established 61 conservation areas of varied types, all together forming a combined area of 410,000 square meters, ranking first in China.

Various kinds of conservation districts have been established in Tibet: the world's highest altitude nature reserve (the Mt. Qomolangma Nature Reserve), the world's longest and deepest gorge nature reserve (the Yarlung Tsangpo Great Ganyon Nature Reserve), and the world's largest dry-land ecosystem nature reserve (The Changtang National Nature Reserve).
