【双语】你好！中国 | 高原上的精灵

在可可西里，这片位于青藏高原的宝地上，不仅储藏着砂金，还生活着世界上最珍贵的动物之一——藏羚羊。藏铃羊是青藏高原上的一种特有动物，也是国家一级保护动物。它们拥有优美的体态，柔软的绒毛，敏捷的速度，是高原生态系统的重要组成部分。

In Hoh Xil, a treasured land on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, not only is placer gold found, but it is also home to one of the world's most precious animals — the Tibetan antelope. The Tibetan antelope is unique to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and is a nationally protected species under Class I. They are known for their graceful physique, soft undercoat, and remarkable speed, forming an essential part of the plateau ecosystem.

藏羚羊栖息于海拔4000-5500米的高寒草甸、荒漠草原等恶劣环境，甚至夏季可见于5200米山地。群居生活，常结小群活动，善奔跑，时速可达80公里。以草类为主食，夏季产仔，每胎1仔。主要分布于青藏高原的青海、新疆、西藏、四川四省。

They inhabit alpine meadows and desert grasslands at elevations of 4,000 to 5,500 meters and can even be seen as high as 5,200 meters in summer. They live in herds, often moving in small groups, and are exceptional runners, reaching speeds of up to 80 kilometers per hour. Their diet consists mainly of grasses. Females give birth in summer, usually to a single calf. The Tibetan antelope is mainly distributed across Qinghai, Xinjiang, Tibet, and Sichuan.

藏羚羊曾因羊绒贸易遭盗猎，数量从百万只锐减。为了保护高原上的精灵，中国通过建立自然保护区（如可可西里）、打击盗猎及加强国际协作，使其种群逐步恢复至约30万只，成为全球濒危物种保护的成功案例。

Once heavily hunted for their undercoat used in the trade of shahtoosh, their population plummeted from over one million to near collapse. To protect these "spirits of the plateau", China has established nature reserves such as Hoh Xil, cracked down on poaching, and strengthened international cooperation. Today, the population has gradually recovered to about 300,000, making it a global success story in the protection of endangered species.
