LHASA, April 30 (Xinhua) -- As long as the weather allows it, ranger Namgang Cering patrols on his motorbike to safeguard local wild animals as a daily routine.

Namgang Cering works for a wildlife protection station in Shuanghu county, with an average elevation of over five kilometers, in Tibet Autonomous Region.

Approximately 20 kilometers away from the station lies a place with abundant greenery and water resources, drawing more than a thousand Tibetan antelopes every June to give birth.

By then, Namgang Cering and his colleagues will meticulously monitor the whereabouts of these wild animals under national protection, and safeguard their reproductive activities.

"Our main task is to ensure sound childbirth of Tibetan antelopes in the summer and mating in the winter," said Namgang Cering.

Namgang Cering is among the 780-plus rangers of 73 wildlife protection stations established by the Qiangtang National Nature Reserve -- one of the largest nature reserves in China -- since 2015.

The nature reserve is home to over 30 kinds of wild animals listed on national-level protection catalogue, including Tibetan antelopes and wild yaks.

At the heartland of the nature reserve, head of another protection station Jampa and his team usually carry out patrols on pickup trucks.

They mainly target illegal poaching and trespassing, and they also clean up garbage and the carcasses of wild animals. To improve their performance, the local government has also equipped them with modern technological devices such as high-powered telescopes and infrared cameras.

With redoubled efforts to protect wildlife, the activities of illegal poaching and trespassing have been basically eradicated, and the population of wild animals in the area has increased, said the rangers.

Thanks to the unrelenting endeavor of people like Namgang Cering and Jampa, the overall numbers of Tibetan antelopes and wild yaks have surpassed 300,000 and 20,000 respectively.

The hard-fought but worthy cause in China's high-altitude regions is further boosted by the country's legislative effort.

On April 26, China's top legislature adopted the law on ecological conservation on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which will take effect on Sept. 1.

For wildlife guardians in the plateau, they will hit the road with the prospect of an even brighter future.
