| This reserve is for protecting red
gorals and other wild animals, as well as the special
environment essential for their survival. There
are high mountains, deep ravines, streams with rapid
torrents, luxuriant forest, snow-covered peaks,
and waterfalls. The reserve is characterized by
the mountainous, subtropical, forest ecological
system and rich wild life resources. There are 12
plants under State protection, and 50 animals under
State or area protection. Found in Tibet in 1973,
the red goral is one of the rarest animals in the
world, and is among the animals coveted by hunters.
Its population in Tibet is now less than 1,500.
This reserve has become the base for protecting
this animal, which is on the brink of extinction. |
