In order to prevent the loss of animals important to the local economy, the government of Qinghai province, the administrative owner of the plateau, has been implementing a research program on the application of embryonic engineering technology on Tibetan yaks and goats since 2018.

According to scientists, the successful cloning of the strongest and most adaptable individuals in high plateau conditions (4-5 thousand m above sea level) is a major breakthrough in the breeding technology of Tibetan goats and will help their breeding. Regain adaptability and prevent degeneration.
As reported, scientists in the US have successfully cloned a species of black-footed ferret that was considered endangered.
