Developing Kham: A Way Forward
نویسندگان
چکیده
This essay examines the current state of economic development and environmental degradation on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, focusing primarily on the nomadic area of Zhidou County (Sanjiangyuan region), Yushu Prefecture, Qinghai Province. Current initiatives from the provincial government, though well intentioned, are missing key elements in order to develop the region and maintain the preservation and conservation of the unique biodiversity and culture of the Three Rivers Region. This essay will examine, in brief, the history of development in Western China and Tibetan nomadic areas, and provide recommendations based upon existing practices by Chinese development agencies (both government and civilian), local herding communities, and the primary foreign organization working in the area, Plateau Perspectives.
