The population of endangered Przewalski's gazelle has recovered to more than 1,200 after 20 years of protection.
In the mid-1990s, the gazelle population around Qinghai Lake, the last stronghold of the species, was only 300. Now the animal is growing by around 80 each year following a ban on hunting and better protection of the environment.
The local environment department says the gazelle still faces a fight for survival with barbed wire fences stretched across its native grassland. The fences have fragmented their habitat. Most of the fences are too high for migrating gazelle to jump over, leaving the animals injured or killed by the wire.

In addition to fences, the gazelle faces food shortages, inbreeding and degraded grassland.
The animal is believed to be the most endangered hoofed mammal in the world. It was named after the Russian explorer who collected a specimen and took it back to Russia in 1875.
The gazelle once lived in almost all parts of northwest China's grasslands, but now it is seen only around Qinghai Lake.
