The officials from four national nature reserves signed an agreement to set up an alliance administration to coordinate affairs to protect the environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The four major nature reserves includes Tibetan Chiangtang Nature Reserve, Qinghai Hoh Xil Nature Reserve, Qinghai Sanjiangyuan (Source of Three Rivers) Nature Reserve and Xinjiang Altun Mountain Nature Reserve . With an average altitude of 4,000 meters, the four reserves cover 58.3 percent of China's national nature reserve areas and, together, they can be considered to be the world's largest nature reserve group.
