Rare Wildlife Trio Spotted Together in Xizang

In a remarkable ecological event, three nationally protected wildlife species have been observed together for the first time. The leopard, white-lipped deer, and Eurasian lynx were sighted in the Nujiang River basin, located in the southern Chamdo area of the Xizang autonomous region. This significant discovery was made during a recent joint ecological assessment. The assessment was a collaborative effort involving multiple scientific institutions.

The expedition was conducted by the Chamdo forestry and grassland bureau, alongside researchers from the Southwest Survey and Planning Institute of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration and the Kunming Institute of Zoology. Their combined efforts led to this unprecedented documentation of these rare animals coexisting in the same habitat.
