In the high mountain wetlands in the hot spring county in Boltala Mongolia Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, Xinjiang Beiqian, which was listed as a "extremely critical" species by the "Red Paper on Endangered Animals in China". In the past, affected by changes in natural conditions and human interference, the species had faced the dilemma of continuous atrophy of habitats and continued decrease in population population. In recent years, with the help of artificial breeding, strengthening monitoring patrols, scientific and technological education, the number of Xinjiang Beiyi population has risen steadily.

As a "neighbor" with dinosaurs, he survived and evolved in the "living fossil" Beihong, a "living fossil", which has survived and evolved in the shallow water of the high mountains and lakes at an altitude of 2100-3200 meters. Affected by factors such as changes in natural conditions and human interference, the number of populations has continued to decrease.

In order to curb the continued decline in the number of wild species in the northern north of Xinjiang, in 1997, the Xinjiang Beiyi Nature Reserve was established in Hot Spring County and was promoted to a national nature reserve in 2017.

With the support of the state and local governments, since 2014, the protected area has implemented the residue of retreating herds and being wet to Xinjiang Beiyi habitat, allowing Niu Er to go down the mountain and sheep away. In addition, the remote microwave video surveillance system covers the entire protected area and "duty" around the weather. Once someone is found to enter the core area of ​​the protected area without permission, it will be driven away in time.

Ji Xiaowei, chief of the management station of the Xinjiang Beiyi Nature Reserve, introduced that in the past, the managers patrolled the law enforcement here. After the remote monitoring system was on the job, the time cost reduced the time of duty and basically achieved a blind spot patrol. More importantly, it will not disturb Xinjiang Beiyi.

At the same time, the interior springs of the protected areas caused by the decline in groundwater levels are broken. The local water pipeline is specially laid in the local area to "quench thirst" for the shrinking wetland.

In order to better protect these cute creatures, in 2016, the Xinjiang Beiyi Scientific Research and Mission Center with science popularization, research, propaganda, education and other functions was built and opened. The center has an artificial incubation exhibition room in Beiyi, which facilitates management personnel to understand their living habits more scientifically, and conduct a second -generation study of child generation breeding to improve the overall protection level. This year's "Parenting Institute" has incubated 139 tails of Xinjiang Beiyi. They will be used for the protection test of the resorting area outside the habitat of the protected area.

In addition, at Xinjiang Beiyi Scientific Research and Mission Center, the public can observe Xinjiang Beiyi from zero to learn more about it, and also avoid people to visit the reserve to disturb Xinjiang Beiyi.

Thanks to a series of "scientific and technological models", the number of Xinjiang Beiyi species in the protection area has risen steadily. From about 1700 in 2015 to now, it has exceeded 3,000.
