Xu Donghua, director of the Plateau Ecology Research Office of the Argin Mountain National Nature Reserve in Bazhou, Xinjiang, said: "Through drone tracking and infrared camera layout, we can put some rare and endangered species that were difficult to observe or difficult to find before, such as species such as snow leopards and rabbits. For our future special research on this type of species, it will provide a very good reference basis. ”

Xu Donghua, director of the Plateau Ecology Research Office of the Alkin Mountain National Nature Reserve in Bazhou, Xinjiang, said: "We compared the monitoring data in recent years with the data of scientific investigation and monitoring in the past 80s and 90s and around 2000, and through comparison, we found that the current species represented by the three major ungulates in the reserve, the number of Tibetan antelope, wild yak and Tibetan wild donkey has increased to a great extent, and the number of the three major ungulates in the past is about 50,000 (only), and now it is nearly 100,000 (only)." At the same time, through scientific research and monitoring activities, we have found that the distribution of wild animals is wider. (End)
