Tibetan antelopes on Qiangtang Grassland, northern Tibet

Tibetan antelopes range on the famous Qiangtang Grassland, in northern Tibet. Ten years ago there were less than 20 Tibetan antelopes on this pasture land, but the population has now grown to more than 300. For Tibetans, these antelopes are sacred, and should be protected. [Photo: Chinaplus]
