It is in western China and covers an area of about 120,000 square miles. It was created to protect the area and the wildlife that live there.
The wool can be made into luxury shahtoosh (Persian for ‘king of wools’), which can be sold more than $15,000!
They have the finest and warmest hair in the animal kingdom.
So more and more poachers appeared. The killings made the Tibetan antelopes at the risk of extinction.
The Tibetan antelope was an endangered animal, but because of human’s protection, its population has recovered.

Literal meaning is the usual, basic meaning of the words,
i.e. exactly what the words say.
Implied meaning is suggested but not directly expressed,
i.e. you guess the meaning based on what you know.

I agree that we must try and live in harmony with nature in order to save our planet.
I think what we must do is to realise that we are part of nature and not separate from it. We can't survive without it and so when we damage it, we literally damage ourselves. Therefore, I think education is very important to change how we relate to nature.
