China’s wild animal guardians said that much needs to be done to save wild animals trapped in the snowbound Pamir Plateau in northwest China from starvation.
”We estimate that some 100,000 wild animals have been trapped in the mountains to the southwest of Xinjiang,” said Dai Zhigang, head of the endangered animal protection station under the Forestry Bureau of Kashi Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, in western China.
Dai said that new sightings of dead animals, mainly grazing species and wild birds, have been reported by wardens every day since Feb. 7, when the blizzard waned. The station could not provide an exact death toll because it lacked personnel to do a full survey.
”We have raised small sums for hay at 20 locations, but we lack the money and manpower to do more,” said Dai.
