In Angosai Township, Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, there are such groups of people who are both herdsmen and wild animal photographers. They record the changes in their hometown ecology from professional cameras and unique perspectives.

Angsai Township is located in the source of Lancang River and is an important part of the Lancang River Yuanyuan Park of Sanjiangyuan National Park. Sanjiangyuan National Park is the first national park in my country. It was formally completed in 2021 and the protection area reached 190,700 square kilometers. With the continuous recovery of the ecosystem in the park, the living environment of wild animals has been significantly improved, and snow leopards have frequently appeared.

As of now, scientific researchers have used infrared cameras to only 84 snow leopard individuals in the country of Angsai Township. Therefore, Angsai Township is also known as the "Hometown of Snow Leopard".

Dajie was the first herdsman who aimed at wild animals such as Snow Leopard in the village of Angsai Township. In 2008, 16 -year -old Dajie picked up the camera for the first time and took the first photo of his life. At that time, he didn't know that his life would be closely related to photography.

After five years of pilot, Sanjiangyuan National Park has established a national park management system covered with provinces, states, counties, townships, and villages, effectively solving various regulatory problems, and strives for the guardianship of Shanzong Shuiyuan.
