The Zhongwei Shapotou National Nature Reserve in Ningxia has been carrying out sustained sand control efforts in recent years, achieving a significant increase in vegetation coverage and a continuous improvement in wildlife habitats. Monitoring shows that the goitered gazelle, a species under second-class national protection in China, has established several multiple colonies here and its population is on a steady rise.
