Turgunjan Tursun, director of the Wildlife Rescue Center of the Ebinur Lake Wetland National Nature Reserve, said that Kekebasitao area, where these wild animals were found, is located on the north shore of Ebinur Lake.

Ebinur Lake Wetland National Nature Reserve is located in the inland arid area of northwest China, and is an important ecological barrier in northern Xinjiang. In recent years, after the implementation of a series of effective measures such as grazing prohibition, ecological migration, fighting illegal digging and harvesting, and vegetation restoration in the Ebinur Lake Wetland National Nature Reserve, the number of wild animals such as red deer, gazella, and wolf has recovered, and wild plants such as Populus euphratica, Haloxylon ammodendron, and Tamarix have also presented a lush ecological scene.
