XINING Uomo Nike Air Vapormax 2018 Scarpe Nere Scontate , Aug. 23 (Xinhua) -- Every time the patrollers pass the Sonamdaje monument on Kunlun Mountain, they stop to pay their respects the Tibetan way, offering hadas and barley wine.


Sonamdaje, a former official in Qinghai Province of northwest China, was shot to death by poachers when patrolling the Hoh Xil region in 1994.


With an average altitude of over 4,600 meters, the inhospitable Hoh Xil is an ideal habitat for endangered Tibetan antelopes and other wildlife such as Tibetan gazelles and wild yaks. The region was added to the world heritage list last month.


The area was beset by poachers in the 1980s Uomo Nike Air Vapormax 2018 Scarpe Nere Colorful Scontate , who hunted Tibetan antelopes for their hide, which was made into expensive shahtoosh shawls. Each shawl, priced as high as 50,000 U.S. dollars, was made at the expense of the lives of three to five antelopes.


The antelope population declined sharply from 200,000 to 20,000 due to the illegal hunting.


Local people began riding yaks to patrol the mountain in 1992. When the Hoh Xil nature reserve was set up in 1996 Uomo Nike Air Max 97 KPU Scarpe Scuro Blu Scontate , a 16-person patrol team was set up. Currently, over 70 people are employed by the nature reserve to patrol the mountains.


The patrols are dangerous. Besides the steep mountainous roads and dangerous wetland and marsh, the patrollers also have to face the threats of guns and wild animals.


Zhao Xinlu has been patrolling the area for 20 years. He recalls catching a gang of poachers all armed with rifles.


"We were not as well-equipped as they were, and the seized rifles were all loaded," he said.


A dozen years ago, Zhao and his team seized over 500 antelope skins, but the smell of blood soon attracted a pack of wolves.


"They followed us to our vehicles and surrounded us at night Uomo Nike Air Max 97 KPU Scarpe Nere Scontate ," he said. "We fired shots into the air to scare them away."


Thanks to intensive protection efforts, the antelope population is now back over 60,000.


"Ten years ago, tourists asked me what the antelopes look like. Now they ask whether an antelope is male or female," said patroller Lodro Cering, while feeding a baby antelope with a bottle of milk.


In the protection station where Lodro works, patrollers are taking care of seven baby antelopes.


Starting every June Uomo Nike Air Max 97 2017 Retro Scarpe Argento Scontate , when it is time for antelopes to give birth and migrate, patrollers save a number of antelopes who are either ill or orphaned. Since 2001, they have saved over 500 antelopes.


Besides professional patrollers, thousands of local villagers are employed by the local government as part-time rangers to clean up garbage and protect local wildlife.


Herder Dawa is a ranger in Zhiduo and is paid 1,800 yuan (270 U.S. dollars) each month.


"Although we were asked to keep less cattle to help the environment on the grassland, our income has increased thanks to the new job. It's great to see the grassland turning cleaner and the wildlife population growing," Dawa said.


Hoh Xil is facing new challenges posed by climate change Uomo Nike Air Max 2018 Elite Scarpe Bianche Nere Scontate , said Budro, head of Hoh Xil nature reserve administrative bureau.


"The thawing icebergs have led to overflowing local lakes, forming new lakes totalling about 200 square km," Budro said.


Some tourists illegally pass through the core area of Hoh Xil with the help of navigation equipment and high quality vehicles. Scientific knowledge about the ecology of Hoh Xil is still lacking, according to Budro.


The successful inclusion into the world heritage list has raised the standards for Hoh Xil protection, and a more scientific and effective ecological protection mechanism will be established to help Hoh Xil tackle the challenges, he said.


During the past year Uomo Nike Air Max 2018 Elite Scarpe Grigie Nere Scontate , special courses have been arranged to help the patrollers gain basic knowledge about the local ecology.


"In the future, we will not only patrol mountains, but also work as ecological observers to help heighten the environmental awareness of local people," Lodro said.

PRETORIA, Oct. 13 (Xinhua) -- South African track star Oscar Pistorius had a good day for his first sentencing hearing as three defend witnesses try hard to mitigate the sentence.


Dr Lore Hartzenberg, who gave Pistorius mental health counseling after the shooting of his girlfriend, said that the athlete is a ""broken man"" who was ""unlikely to fully recover"".


Lore also said that Pistorius hoped to teach at a school in Mozambique instead of pursuing his sports career after the trial.


Joel Maringa, a state social worker, said Pistorius should serve partial house arrest and community service no more than three years for the negligent kill of his girlfriend.


Pistorius's manager Peet van Zyl listed all the charity work Pistorius has undertaken over the past few years in a thick report.


The first day of trial came to an early close, with the prosecution's Gerrie Nel Uomo Nike Air Max 2018 Elite Scarpe Nere Bianche Scontate , who will be pushing for the most punitive possible jail term, requesting time to study the thick report compiled on Pistorius's charity work.


Judge Thokozile Masipa, who delivered the guilty of culpable homicide to Pistorius last month, will decide his sentence in a few days.


As an inspiration for disabled people and a symbol of triumph over adversity, the 27-year-old amputated sport star, was convicted of manslaughter last month for shooting 29-year-old law graduate and model Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day in 2013.


While a murder conviction would certainly lead to a jail sentence, culpable homicide can be pun.

The China Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Chinese and global real estate markets, including China house prices, global house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a global house price crash or China house price crash. Is there a Chinese housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is it better to buy using a home loan, or rent and save the difference? How might a credit crunch or peak debt environment impact Chinese property prices? Is the Chinese property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices rise forever as people bet on future gains, refinance their mortgage and borrow against equity, or can we find a more sustainable long term approach to managing the Chinese housing market? These are the type of questions we hope to address here, at the China Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators! Whether you're a Property Investor, First Home Buyer (FHB) or you're a happily renting tenant, this forum has something for everyone.
