At 3,000 meters above sea level, where the air thins and snow-capped peaks pierce the sky, a quiet revolution is unfolding. For over a decade, wildlife photographer Choegyab has documented the black-necked cranes—rare migratory birds—that visit Nyanpo Yuzee, a pristine plateau in western China. But these graceful creatures aren’t the only stars of this high-altitude drama. 🌍
At the foot of the Qilian Mountains, a team of young conservationists has built a wildlife rescue base, braving harsh conditions to protect endangered species like Tibetan antelopes and snow leopards. 🏔️ Their mission? To heal injured animals, combat habitat loss, and ensure the plateau’s biodiversity thrives for generations.
\"It’s not just about saving animals—it’s about preserving a way of life,\" says one volunteer, echoing the spirit of a growing youth-led movement across the Chinese mainland. With climate change looming, their work highlights how grassroots action can shape a greener future. 💚
