In order to ensure the smooth migration of Tibetan antelopes, since April, the Hoh Xil Management Office of the Yangtze River Source Park of the Sanjiangyuan National Park Administration has required staff to continue to carry out video surveillance monitoring and patrols in the jurisdiction. If a herd of Tibetan antelopes is found trying to cross the road, it must be carried out as soon as possible. Temporary traffic control allows sheep to pass through wildlife passages safely and ensures that they are not disturbed by humans or are disturbed as little as possible during their migration.

The great migration of Tibetan antelope, wildebeest and reindeer is known as the three most spectacular migrations of ungulate animals in the world. Wu Xiaomin, an expert on the protection of Tibetan antelopes in my country and a researcher at the Shaanxi Institute of Zoology (Northwest Institute of Endangered Animals), said: "The migration journey of Tibetan antelopes can be up to thousands of kilometers, but the reason for the migration is still an unsolved mystery."

Qiupei Zhaxi, director of the Zhuonai Lake Protection Station of the Hoh Xil Management Office of the Yangtze River Source Park of the Sanjiangyuan National Park Administration, said: "The staff of the protection station will also arrive at Zhuonai Lake in the near future to protect the 'Plateau Elf' from giving birth safely until they Return to the original habitat."
