Chinese Name Tibetan antelope Latin name Pantholops hodgsoni Common name antelope, Tibetan antelope English name Chiru, Tibetan antelope CITES Appendix I Convention Level not included in the IUCN Level of the endangered Red Data Book Grade-level state protection Endangered because of habitat destruction, hunting for food is because the trade is hunting 】 【Natural History Tibetan antelope living in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of China (Tibet, Qinghai and Xinjiang), a small amount distributed in the Ladakh region of India. Tibetan antelope habitat altitude 3,250-5,500 meters (10,662-18,045 feet), 4,000 meters above sea level better suited to flat terrain. The annual mean temperature is below zero, short growing season. Tibetan antelope's activities are complex, some of the Tibetan antelope living in one place for long, there are some migratory habits. Activities of female and male Tibetan antelope different modes. Adult female Tibetan antelope and their female offspring to a year from winter to summer litter mate to migrations of 300 km. Young male Tibetan antelope will leave the community, with other young or adult male Tibetan antelope come together, and finally the formation of a mixed community. The composition and number of antelope flocks by sex and different periods are subject to change. Female Tibetan antelope in the 1.5 to 2.5 years of age reach sexual maturity after 7-8 months of gestation period is generally 2-3 years after the birth of first child between. Pups at 6 or 7 at the end of mid-to late born, each fetus of a young. Mating period usually between 11 to 12 months late, the general need to protect the Tibetan antelope male 10-20 female Tibetan antelope. Tibetan antelope are good at running, the maximum speed of 80 km (50 miles), life up to 8 years. The number of Tibetan antelope in 1990 approximately 100 million, in 1995, dropped to 7.5 million. The past can be found more than 15,000 Tibetan antelope flocks, the number is now greatly reduced. 】 【Species status Tibetan antelope in 1996 by the International Conservation Union as vulnerable species. Listed as endangered in 2000. Tibetan antelope has been listed since 1979 CITES Appendix I. Tibetan antelope also be China's "Wild Animals Protection Act," the first level and the case without permission prohibited hunting and trade. In India, in addition to mold and Kashmir Village outside the special circumstances, under the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, the Tibetan antelope trade is prohibited. Threats to the species Tibetan history, the hunting of Tibetan antelope are forced to livelihoods. Today, the Tibetan antelope is the greatest threat to its bottom in order to obtain large-scale poaching cashmere. In order to obtain the end of Tibetan antelope wool must be killed. Tibetan antelope called the end of cashmere shawls made of "Shatu Shi", is recognized worldwide as the finest softest shawl. A shawl is of a few lives for the Tibetan antelope woven into consideration. Canglingyangrong smuggled into India from Tibet and Kashmir Chai mode, where you can legally use the Canglingyangrong towels woven into shawls and the like, but the export trade is still illegal. While India has historically made use of Shahtoosh the dowry custom, but the Western fashion industry is on the Sha Tushen a direct result of the pursuit of the late 80s and early 90s causes a substantial rise in poaching. An estimated 20,000 Tibetan antelope are killed because of Sha Tushen reasons. Antelope horns in the traditional medicine market is sales. Patrol officers is difficult due to insufficient funds the majority of Tibetan antelope infested area patrols. In order to protect the Tibetan antelope, the Western fashion industry should stop buying Shatu Shi, there is no demand for Tibetan antelope poaching will stop. In addition, a number of organizations, groups protect the Tibetan antelope and their habitat protection and monitoring of the recommendations should be implemented. Other threats include human and livestock raising violations of the Tibetan antelope, Tibetan antelope migration of human activities and activities of the interference, and the Tibetan antelope habitat encroachment. 【International Trade, Tibetan antelope under the "Washington Convention" CITES Appendix I, Tibetan antelope, Tibetan antelope body parts and derivatives, international trade is prohibited. Tibetan antelope, known as "the pride of Hoh Xil," China's endemic species, social, national-level protected species, is also included in the "Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora International Trade Convention" in the trade in endangered animals is strictly prohibited. Tibetan antelope is not a giant panda. It is an advantage of animal. As long as you see them in droves in the snow on the horizon after the pouring First Clearing, a spirit figure, was flying like a beautiful running posture, you can believe it can survive in this land thousands of years, because it is belong here. It is not a self-endangered animals, poor ability to adapt, as long as you leave it, it will be able to live their own good. White Paper】 【China 藏羚羊保护 First, the Tibetan antelope population and ecological study of the distribution Tibetan antelopes in China, mainly distributed in Qinghai, Xinjiang, Tibet and Sichuan provinces altitude of 3,700 ~ 5,500 meters high mountain desert steppe. These areas with sparse vegetation, and herbaceous plants are the plateau. In addition, low temperatures in these regions, in many places was covered with snow for more than 6 months. Unique in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the harsh natural environment, and to find enough food to withstand the cold, after a long-term adaptation, the formation of a cluster of Tibetan antelope migration habits, and his body with a layer of warmth on the growth of excellent wool. Although the Tibetan antelope in the replacement of a natural hair every summer, but due to natural replacement is the sporadic drop down by the wind, yet no one tried to collect the activities of the natural hair replacement. Second, China's Tibetan antelope are suffering from very serious resource damage Although the distribution area of the Tibetan antelope is sparsely populated, harsh cold climate areas, but over the past 10 years, poachers armed with weapons, the increasing influx of Tibetan antelope habitats or waiting in the massacre of the Tibetan antelope Tibetan antelope migration route. In recent years, according to Chinese authorities seized the antelope skins, wool quantity and the distribution of the units in Tibetan antelope Tibetan antelope carcasses were found in the situation analysis, each year the average number of poaching of Tibetan antelopes in the 20,000 head around. In addition, due to serious interference poaching activities, the activities of the existing laws of the Tibetan antelope has been disrupted, a serious impact on population reproduction. Third, China has made great efforts to protect the Tibetan antelope To protect the Tibetan antelope, Tibetan antelope in the distribution area, also carried out extensive publicity and education, training a group of conservation management and research staff, resources survey and scientific research organizations. Rampant poaching of Tibetan antelope, the criminal activities of smuggling Canglingyangrong, the former Ministry of Forestry of China (now the State Forestry Administration) special attention, and conduct a special investigation; the Chinese government departments and local law enforcement organizations such as Forest Police power distribution in the Tibetan antelope, an important transportation routes and the processing sites, focusing on customs and border line, for many years implemented a stringent crackdown. According to incomplete statistics, since 1990, the Chinese public security organs cracked forest poaching of Tibetan antelope more than 100 cases since being hunted antelope skins seized more than 17,000 copies Canglingyangrong more than 1,100 kilograms, a variety of firearms, 300 I support, 15 million bullets, hair, all kinds of vehicles 153, and arrested Tibetan antelope poaching suspects nearly 3,000 people, killing 3 people poaching molecules. Poor in difficult conditions, to protect the Tibetan antelope and their habitat, the emergence of a number of epic heroes. County of Qinghai Province, more than the original rule Suonandajie Western Working Committee is to protect the Tibetan antelope Comrade typical heroes, he led the team defied hardship for three consecutive years of 10 million square kilometers hermit deep in the Hoh Xil region patrol was removed, Tibetan antelope poachers caught many criminals. January 18, 1994, the only 40-year-old hero, illegal poaching of Tibetan antelope in the pursuit of criminal elements in the fighting, unfortunately, shot, died a heroic death. Fourth, China is still facing many difficulties 藏羚羊保护 On the other hand, when China's law enforcement officers in the harsh environment a difficult time pursuing poachers molecules, it is regrettable that some countries and regions Canglingyangrong and fabric trade has not been effectively combat and suppress, and this is precisely Molecular crazy hunting of Tibetan antelope poaching the root causes. This can be seen from the following aspects are clear: 1, molecular hunting of Tibetan antelope poaching the fundamental purpose is to obtain Canglingyangrong. So far, the Chinese poachers arrested by elements of all the statements have confirmed this. On the other hand, since many parasites antelope lamb, antelope sheepskin leather and poor performance reasons, not the existence of antelope meat, skin, skull and horns of the development and utilization of trade within China and the Tibetan antelope and no demand for the product market. Tibetan antelope poaching in the field all can see a large number of corpses left by the Tibetan antelope, skull, horns, and discarded after taking a large number of Tibetan antelope wool sheep are found in many other places can be proved to obtain Canglingyangrong is wantonly caused The fundamental purpose of hunting antelope. 3, China has never used Canglingyangrong traditional practices, has yet to Canglingyangrong its products consumer market. Comprehensive analysis of the actual situation, many of the concerns 藏羚羊保护 international organizations, people and our conclusions are the same: it is precisely because in some countries and regions, there has been Canglingyangrong processing and trade, and thus to poaching molecules bring in huge profits, stimulate poaching intensified, until the threat to the survival of the Tibetan antelope. Removed from the root in some countries and regions still exist Canglingyangrong processing and trade, is to protect and restore populations of Tibetan antelope and the key priority. Fifth, protect the Tibetan antelope and the understanding of the international community to act together Has been widely recognized in today's society, free from the control of wild animals and their products in international trade, it will seriously harm some of the natural development of species of wild flora and fauna, and even the survival of endangered species; and their products on international trade in wildlife control and protection of certain species, and only rely on the strength of a country is difficult to achieve. Based on this understanding and a deep understanding of the value of each species, 3 March 1973 was born in Washington, "International Trade in Endangered Species Convention", and on this basis, many countries began a series of Fauna and Flora International cooperation and the achievements that attracted worldwide attention. Tibetan antelope is endemic to the Tibetan Plateau, northern Tibet Autonomous Region, Qinghai Province and Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Altun Hoh Xil is their area of habitat. As a result of the international illegal market temptation of high profits, resulting in at least 20,000 Tibetan antelopes have been slaughtered. It is estimated that around 50,000 Tibetan antelope remaining. Team will receive advanced equipment in China 藏羚羊保护 State Forestry Administration and the International Fund for Animal Welfare were held July 24 ceremony, the Hoh Xil Nature Reserve and the Tibetan antelope in the forest public security grant distribution development and the total value of donated materials and equipment of 130 million to strengthen the brink of extinction Tibetan antelope protection. FDA sent the material presented, including: four police jeeps, 12 Eighth-style sniper rifles, 10 field light search lights, 10 hand-held GPS navigation device, five shortwave radio stations, 25 _set_s of bullet-proof vests and helmets, 6 cameras, etc., worth 80 million. IFAW to come from Xinjiang, Qinghai, Tibet, the 15 representatives of forest public security bureau and police communications equipment and other donated supplies, including generators, radio, satellite global positioning system, night vision, binoculars, and tents and sleeping bags and so on. This is the second time the foundation work to China 藏羚羊保护 special contributions. Resources to protect the Tibetan antelope, the Chinese government have established a Qiangtang, Altun and the Hoh Xil Nature Reserve, and _set_ up a special enforcement team - Forest Public Security, responsible for the destruction of wildlife resources to combat criminal activities, and achieved great results. Protect the Tibetan antelope, to start from us.
