The Tibetan Wild Donkey, or Kiang, was recently considered to be a subspecies of Equus hemionus, the Kulan or Asiatic Wild Donkey. It is now recognized as a distinct species, found only in the Tibetan high plateaus.
Our legislation expresses that illegal hunting, killing of state protection of rare and endangered wild animals, or illegal purchase, transportation, sale of state protection of rare and endangered wild animals and their products can result in five to ten years imprisonment with a fine. If the criminal acts are especially serious jail time can be more than ten years with an even heftier fine.
The Kiang is categorized as Lower Risk: Least Concern in the 2003 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and is listed under Appendix II of CITES. The Kiang is under first class protection in China and is included in Schedule I, Part I of the Indian Wild Life (Protection) Act of 1972.
Much of the northern part of the Kiang’s habitat has been degraded or lost entirely due to the establishment of significant mining and oil exploration operations in this region, and the incursion of the large populations needed to cater to the mines and the processing of minerals.
In the last few decades, the Kiang’s population has decreased significantly in size and has become fragmented across their native habitats.
