		Recall that Schaller began studying the Tibetan Plateau as a final planetary refuge for wild animals.

	In Tibet, Climbers Find Rare Antelope Birthing Ground
		The expedition was inspired by the fieldwork of George Schaller, a wildlife biologist and director of science at the Wildlife Conservation Society in New York City.
		Schaller has studied the chiru of the Chang Tang plateau since 1987 as part of a broader survey of Tibetan wildlife.
		In 2001 Schaller came close to locating the birthing grounds of the western herd of chiru, the largest of four main herds, but was forced to turn back when his pack animals began to die from malnutrition and exhaustion.

		When Schaller left the panda project in the mid-1980s he still was not sure whether China's government and scientific leaders were fully committed to saving the panda.
		Schaller doggedly sloshed through the snow-blanketed highlands and endured freezing nights at observation posts, collected droppings with an ardor only a scientist can appreciate, trapped and radio-collared pandas, and occasionally watched them feeding, at play or engaged in the graver business of sex and parenting.
		Schaller finds wisps of hope in the fact that the poacher in this case was eventually sentenced to two years in jail (doubtless a stiffer penalty than a similar conviction would have brought here).

		But it was not until the wildlife biologist Dr George Schaller discovered that the luxurious down wool known as 'shahtoosh' was a product of the antelope and raised the alarm, that the reason for the increase in poaching, and the full extent of the shahtoosh trade, was uncovered.
		Schaller describes the traditional method used to catch chiru: "an ingenious circular foot trap with small pointed sticks projecting toward the centre.
		Schaller reports that although the government is making an "impressive effort", much of Tibet is "so remote that enforcement is difficult, especially in winter when it is bitter cold and most hunting occurs"

	all about gorillas
		Since gorillas will not cross large rivers, such as the Zaire and Ubangi, the eminent gorilla specialist George Schaller suggested that the parent population probably lived in the area shown on the map.
		Today, most of this hypothetical range is too dry and open to be a suitable gorilla habitat, but during cooler and rainier conditions that existed 5000-7000 years ago, the area would have been covered by a rainforest where the gorillas could have lived.
		George Schaller estimated that about 450 mountain gorillas lived in the Virungas in 1960.

		Schaller spends much time criticizing the Chinese government as well as Western governments for what he perceives to be ignorance and apathy toward the "plight" of the giant panda.
		Schaller's droll voice lends a small bit of humor to what must have been an extreme challenge in self-control when dealing with the friction between involved parties.
