Populations of Przewalski's gazelle, which can only be found in the wild in China, have been restored to more than 3,400, from about 300, according to a staff member from a gazelle protection station in Qinghai Lake's south bank.

In Qinghai Lake, the number of habitat areas for the endangered gazelles has increased from the initial seven to 15 thanks to protection measures such as a national wildlife rescue project, community co-construction and co-management campaigns, reducing the height of fences and setting up rescue points.
