In the high-altitude wilderness of Nyanpo Yuzee, Qinghai Province, wildlife photographer Choegyab and his brother are on a mission 🏔️. Their goal? To capture rare footage of endangered black-necked cranes hatching eggs using infrared cameras. But nature has thrown them a curveball – the chicks have vanished without a trace.
The 29-year-old photographer, who's spent years documenting this region's biodiversity, tells CGTN: 'We prepared everything perfectly – but now we’re left with more questions than answers.' The disappearance has sparked urgent conversations among conservationists about habitat changes impacting these majestic birds, considered sacred in Tibetan culture.
While scientists investigate possible environmental factors, local residents are sharing traditional ecological knowledge that could help solve the mystery. Could this be a climate change wake-up call or part of a natural cycle? The search continues as the world watches Qinghai’s delicate ecosystem balance unfold 🌱✨.
