The Tibet autonomous region plans to build the highest and largest national park in the world by 2025, the chairman of the regional government said on Wednesday.

The planned Chang Tang National Park on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will cover an area of 298,000 square kilometers, which is about 37 times the size of the famous Yellow Stone National Park in the United States, Yan Jinhai, chairman of the regional government, said during a deliberation session of the Tibet delegation to the 14th National People's Congress on Wednesday.

"Once established, the Changtang National Park would be the highest and largest national park in the world," Yan said at the session that was opened to the press.

He added that Tibet is one of the regions that have kept the best eco-environment in the world, with the region attaching great importance to the protection of its environment and biodiversity.

About 36 percent of the region's land has been listed as natural reserves. Furthermore, eco-environmental conservation has always been seen as the top priority for Tibet, Yan said.

As someone who lived in Islamabad in the 80's and 90's when the wild boar population was at it's peak, I can so relate to this video. Our neighborhood had a special building constructed to house the communal rubbish bins because the boars would come down from the hills and raid the rubbish, the momma boars would get aggressive and charge at people thinking they are a threat to it's children.
