The project undertakes data sampling and works with the local community.
We will decide the random sampling belts on the topography map of YNNR (Sampling intension will over 5%). In surveying, investigators will be directed by GPS and conduct line transects to collect data about the fauna, distribution, population and habitat of wildlife, which is crucial to establish rational and realistic managing system to improve the nature conservation.
In the conventional festivals of the local minorities and timed trading gatherings, we will propagandise and dispatch the prepared sheets to convey the conservation concept and improve environment awareness. We will talk with local minority households door by door to record the data about their common production, expense and earning, and discuss with the local authority and peoples to seek the potential substitute production styles. Furthermore, we will enter local schools and children will be lectured with the nature conservation. Furthermore, many local minority undergraduates of Tibet University will directly participate into this project, and they could learn and understand why and how the project is working with the nature conservation.
