The overall improvement in the diversity, stability and sustainability of the ecosystem in the "Water Tower of China" on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has led to an annual increase of over 6 percent in the oxygen levels of water resources at the Three-River-Source National Park. The Tibetan antelope population has grown from over 20,000 at the beginning of conservation efforts to more than 70,000. Sightings of snow leopards and leopard cats have become more frequent across the three-river-source region — the source of the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, and the Lancang River.
