The reserve, in the highlands of the province, is home to endangered Tibetan antelopes. The seven members, driving a jeep on a mission to trace poachers, were trapped in a sandy river in the reserve's hinterland at night of July 22. They were chasing two jeeps which were suspected of being poachers' vehicles. The group had escaped trouble with the help of local farmers and some geologists when a six-strong rescue team arrived.
