因此挽救并保护它们是我们义不容辞的责任
珍稀的藏羚羊就在这些即将灭绝的动物之列,让我们来了解一下它们的现状吧
The Tibetan antelope is listed in the IUCN(国际自然与自然资源保护联合会) Red List as a threatened(有灭绝危险的)species
Several nature reserves were set up by the central government to protect these antelopes
Each year, Tibetan antelopes move to the northern area with a cooler climate and rich water and grass resources to lamb in June ~ July and return with their children in August
The Qinghai-Tibet Railway lies right in their path
In June, 2002,in order to let some 30 , 000 future mother antelopes pass the construction( 建设)site without disturbance(扰乱,打扰),the workers shut down their ma-chines and pulled down their sign boards and sign flags
They stopped working for four days to make way for them
