It is a fairly good example of a situation where economic deprivation is the cause of environmental degradation (in this case, wildlife population). Qinghai is one of the poorest provinces in China and currently has few economic opportunities. Tourism is bound to increase with the opening of the Xining-Lasa railline, yet I've noticed that tourism in China tends to favour traditional mass tourism with the majority of profits settling in Shanghai and other urban centers. It would be interesting to know the Antelope population prior to large scale poaching. If the population was managed properly and regulations enforced stringently, Antelope products could have at one point provided a lucrative and sustainable resource for local people.

I'll have to check it out. I'm hoping to do my masters thesis this fall on something like this ... perhaps this can help me out.

Hope people become more and more aware of the importance of nature protection.
