The air is thin and we have to rest several times on the short hike from camp. To our left, snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch. On the plain in front of us, we can just make out a herd of graceful animals. This is why were hereto observe Tibetan antelopes. The mountain is extremely high. Whats the main idea of this paragraph? Tibetan antelopes live on the plains of Tibet, Xinjiang, and Qinghai. Watching them move slowly across the green grass. Im struck by their beauty. Im also reminded of the danger they are in. They are being hunted, illegally, for their valuable fur. Tibetan antelopes are in danger. 1.Why should we protect the wildlife animals? My guide is Zhaxi, a village from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The reserve 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. “Were not trying to save the animals,” he says. “Actually, were trying to save ourselves.” What happened to the Tibetan antelope in the 1980s and 1990s?Why? The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelope. The population dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters were shooting antelopes to make profits. Their habitats were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built. What Why 1.What did people do to help protect the Tibetan antelopes? 2.What qualities does Zhaxi have? Where can we find the evidence to support these? 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 attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains. Hard-working responsible and loving nature Why will the protection programme of the antelope continue? The measures were effective. The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope was removed from the endangered species list. The government, however, does not intend to stop the protection programmes, since the threats to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared. The threats to them have still exsited. How can we do to save the planet according to the author? In the evening, I drink a cup of tea and watch the stars. I think about the antelopes and what Zhaxi told me. Much is being done to protect wildlife, but if we really want to save the planet, we must change our way of life. Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.

As far as I am concerned,what we should do is to realise that we are part of nature and cannot separate from it. We cant survive without it. When we damage it, we literally damage ourselves. Therefore, I think education is very important to change how we relate to nature.
