Abstract: From August 15 to 18 in 2004,we conducted an investigation in the area of Wuquanbao on the north slope of Peak Muztag of Mid-Kunlun Mountains,which is considered an important calving ground of Tibetan antelope.During the investigation,mainly between 8:00~10:00,10:00~12:00 and 14:00~16:00,we encountered 97 individual Tibetan antelopes,mostly within 50 meters of our transect lines.People and vehicles for gold mining are the main threats to maintaining the Tibetan antelope population and preserving their habitats.This paper also explores different means for regulating local gold mining and improving management of the local authorities.

Key words: Tibetan antelope, wildlife, Kunlun Mountains
