It plays an important role in the local ecosystem. But several decades ago, this lovely species was almost gone because of human activities. People hunted Tibetan antelopes illegally for their valuable wool. Also, activities like grazing animals and building roads destroyed their living places. Because of these problems, their population fell to about 70,000. This broke the balance of the plateau’s ecosystem. To save them, local governments took strong measures. They built nature reserves such as Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve and made great efforts to stop illegal hunting. The number of Tibetan antelopes has risen to over 300,000. They were moved from “endangered” to “near threatened”. Besides, the numbers of black-necked cranes and wild yaks are also growing. The grasslands recover well and nature regains its balance. The success tells us that protecting one kind of animal helps protect the whole ecosystem. We should keep trying our best to protect the environment, respect nature, and live in peace with wild animals. In this way, we can help build a better planet. PART. 04 Language Points 1.
