A scientific research team led by the Northwest China Institute of Plateau Biology of Chinese Academy of Sciences on Monday left for Hoh Xil depopulated area to start a field research on the number and distribution of Tibetan antelope and other wild animals.

The six-member scientific research team will take three years to make research in the Hoh Xil nature reserve, including a 20-day-long exploration in the "no man area" within the nature reserve located in northwest China's Qinghai Province in an attempt to make clear the relationship among wild animals in Hol Xil as well as the distribution and number of the rare animals there, such as Tibetan antelope.

In addition, to effectively protect Tibetan antelope, the exclusive species of Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, the Qinghai Provincial Government has earmarked 1.8 million yuan to sponsor the researches on Tibetan antelopes.
