Tibetan antelopes live on the plains of Tibet, Xinjiang and Qinghai. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I’m struck by their beauty. I’m also reminded of the danger they are in. They are being     1    , illegally, for their valuable fur.

My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Na- ture Reserve. The     2     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     3     ourselves.”

The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelope. The     4     dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters were shooting antelopes to make     5    . Their habitats were becoming     6     as new roads and railways were built.

In order to save this species from extinction, the Chinese government placed it under national protection. Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from     7    . Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move     8     and keep them safe from cars and trains.

The measures were effective. The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope was     9     from the endangered species list. The government, however, does not intend to stop the     10     programmes, since the threats to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared.
