The Tibetan Antelope

Prized for their fine wool, the Tibetan antelope population was raveged by the 20th century due to over hunting and poaching. The Chinese government is urgently trying to stop the poaching – and menbers seem to be slowly rising. Pantholops hodgsoni is found only on the Qinghai –Tibet Plateau, "the roof of the world." These graceful animals are 4m tall and the males have 50cm borns giving them a similar appearance to a gazelle. The antelope grazes 4,500m above sea level and sports a specially evolved coat to deal with the extreme cold. However, their coat is also their curse. The fiber is a fifth of the thickness of human hair and was named "shahtoosh," or "king of wools" by Persians and "ring shawls" made from the wool have been popular for over a century. Shahtoosh's popularity led to the wholesale slaughter of the antelope and nembers deopped from around a million at the trun of the century to less than 75, 000 in the mid-1990's when environmental activists lobbied governments to enforce an international trade ban on the materisl. Unfortunately, shahtoosh is still poached and skinned in Tibetan areas and then smuggled into the politically unstable Kashmir region for manufacture.Until governments are able to cooperate and jointly tackle the issue of poaching and smuggling, the best that can be done is preventing international shipments. Scientists have been working on breeding other animals with similarly fine wool and recent reports suggest the genes of a goat from Ngari Prefecture in Tibet may be the antelope's salvation.
