Abstract
Other agency changes include expanding the office that oversees intellectual property, creating a ministry of ecological environment to monitor pollution and forming a conservation agency to help in the protection of endangered species, such as the Przewalski's gazelle (Procapra przewalskii). [...]in Qinghai province in central China, the forestry administration has tried to remove fences in grasslands to link up isolated Przewalski's gazelle populations at the same time as the agriculture ministry has funded the construction of new fences. [...]the pangolin population has plummeted because of illegal hunting for traditional Chinese medicine and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) now lists it as critically endangered.
