The Senlong Zangbo River, located in Changtang National Nature Reserve, is on the vital migration route for Tibetan antelopes. Each July, Tibetan antelope calves and their mothers cross the river and migrate to their habitats. Over the past three years, the number of Tibetan antelope migrating across this river has exceeded 150,000 each year.
