An uncertain future on the Plateau | Katherine Morton - China Dialogue: "Glacial melt poses critical risks to biodiversity, people and livelihoods on the Tibetan Plateau. Katherine Morton explores the possibilities for an effective regional response.
Global climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing humankind in the twenty-first century. It is occurring at a time when China’s economic rise is leading to substantial environmental problems, combined with escalating demands on global resources. Many commentators have warned of impending economic collapse, rising social conflicts and large-scale public health disasters. "

The Chinese government encourages Han Chinese to migrate to the disputed region, this nomadic and agricultural Buddhist culture dominated society into a more modern but less distinctive Tibetan society. Wald from the Netherlands, said the pace of development is so fast that it took time change in Europe for hundreds of years in just 10 years swept across Tibet.

Tomorrow & Other Poems By Lhasang Tsering Publisher: Rupa & Co. Price: Rs.195/
The issue of Tibet is a remnant of the Great Game. Only now the playing fields are a tiny town in northern India and the Great Hall of People via Hong Kong. For the past decade or so the Tibetan issue has taken unfathomable twists and turns, from Independence to one country with two systems, from genuine autonomy to association with China. After forty years, we are at our wits end, having tried everything, it seems, except to stick to the struggle for independence – which is rightly ours and wrongly snatched from us."

China: End Involuntary Rehousing, Relocation of Tibetans | Human Rights Watch
China: End Involuntary Rehousing, Relocation of Tibetans | Human Rights Watch: "New York) – The Chinese government is subjecting millions of Tibetans to a policy of mass rehousing and relocation that radically changes their way of life, and about which they have no say, Human Rights Watch said in a new report published today.
Since 2006, under plans to “Build a New Socialist Countryside” in Tibetan areas, over two million Tibetans have been “rehoused” – through government-ordered renovation or construction of new houses – in the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR), while hundreds of thousands of nomadic herders in the eastern part of the Tibetan plateau have been relocated or settled in “New Socialist Villages.”"

Poetrymind: Dhondup Gyal: Tibet's First Modern Poet
Poetrymind: Dhondup Gyal: Tibet's First Modern Poet: "Dhondup Gyal is considered the first modern Tibetan poet breaking through traditional Tibetan formalist elements. On the page, his verse appears almost projective. He began publishing in the 1980''s. Sad to say, he committed suicide in 1985. The two works published before his death are-"Dawn Pillow Writing" ('bol-rtsom zhogs-pa'i skya-rengs) and "History and Specificity of the Tibetan Tradition of Narrative Song" (mgyur-glu'i lo-rgyus dang kyed-chos). Note: I'm really interested in his scholarly work --if anyone knows how to get a copy in Tibetan or is working on the English, please contact me. Probably more recent publications such as Amnye Machen Institute's are available in Tibetan as well as Chinese editions. His most famous poem is "The Torrents or Youth" or, as in this case, "The Waterfall of Youth" published in English in "New Writing from Tibet; Song of the Snow Lion" edited by Frank Stewart-part of "Manoa's" series from Asia, Oceania, and the Americas. I’ve printed it here as is."

TOP SEVEN ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES IN TIBET: 2 of 3 | Rukor
TOP SEVEN ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES IN TIBET: 2 of 3 | Rukor: "GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE
Problem: The land of snows, surrounded by mountains, is melting, drying and heating fast. Only the Arctic and Antarctic are warming quicker. Much of the plateau soil is in a region of permafrost, which holds frozen water in cold months, which then melts in warmer months. Not only does the seasonal thawing and freezing make is difficult to build railways and highways, as ice expands and contracts, but the early melt in spring, before plant roots can reach down to the icemelt, means plants wither, and wetlands dry up in April, May and June, lacking the water they need before the monsoon rains come. The death of Tibetan wetlands is now major, even desertification of many areas in Amdo. This is well documented in scientific research reports. There are many wetlands in Tibet, home to migratory waterbirds, now disappearing, and releasing to the atmosphere the carbon they had long stored. The new trend of early spring is also hard for farmers, whose crops find no water near the surface."

MOTHER OF ALL ASIAN RIVERS, WATER TOWER OF ASIA | Rukor
MOTHER OF ALL ASIAN RIVERS, WATER TOWER OF ASIA | Rukor: "ABSTRACT: Potent new metaphors are forming in the ice above India: the third pole, the water tower of Asia, the engine of the monsoon, mother of all rivers of Asia. Like the classic metaphors of Gangotri and Kailash, realms of gods guaranteeing the icy purity of the waters of India, they conjure an image of Tibet as the protector of the whole of Asia, from the mouth of the Indus in Pakistan to the mouth of the Yellow River below Beijing."

Short Film - about the film | Meltdown in Tibet: "meltdown in tibet
short film, disturbing questions
a personal take on the politics of water in Tibet
A film by Michael Buckley
Using undercover footage and stills, Meltdown in Tibet blows the lid off China's huge and potentially catastrophic dam-building projects in Tibet. The mighty rivers sourced in Tibet are lifelines to the people of India and Southeast Asia. These rivers are at great risk from rapidly receding glaciers—a meltdown accelerated by climate change—and from large-scale damming and diversion, due to massive Chinese engineering projects. To make way for these hydropower projects and for mining ventures, Tibetan nomads are being forced off their traditional grassland habitat—and resettled in bleak villages, where they cannot make a decent living."

China Green | Asia Society - Tibetan Plateau: "Coal + Ice is a documentary photography exhibition featuring the work of 30 photographers from China, the United States, Canada, Malaysia, Russia, Hungary, Poland, Norway, Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom, whose work, brought together here, visually narrates the hidden chain of actions triggered by mankind’s use of coal.
This photographic arc moves from deep within the coal mines to the glaciers of the greater Himalaya where greenhouse gasses are warming the high altitude climate. As these mighty glaciers melt at an accelerated pace, the great rivers of Asia that flow from the Tibetan Plateau into the oceans are disturbed, and the lives of billions of people downstream are disrupted."

Choke Point: China | Wilson Center
Choke Point: China | Wilson Center: "The burgeoning confrontation between energy and water creates a choke point that poses fundamental global challenges. Underlying China’s advance to international economic prominence, like a tectonic fault line, lies an increasingly fierce competition for water. According to Chinese authorities and government reports, China’s massive economic growth is outpacing its freshwater supply. Water scarcity limits energy development, and the growing demand for nuclear energy, biofuels, and natural gas is straining fresh water supplies. "

Power of Place - 13 Overview: "This video program features two case studies on mainland Southeast Asia: Laos: Isolated Heart and Vietnam: Fertile Dreams.
Laos and Vietnam are countries attempting to open their borders to the world after years of isolation due to civil war, political unrest, and physical geographic barriers.
The first case study, Laos: Isolated Heart, shows how physical geographic barriers such as the Mekong River and the mountains that cover seventy percent of this traditionally poor country have led to years of isolation for Laos. Political unrest and military conflict in Southeast Asia during the latter half of the twentieth century has also limited access. Landlocked by five other countries, Laos has no sea access and must rely on ground and air travel to interact with other countries."

The Mekong - Grounds of Plenty | Watch Documentaries Online | Promote Documentary Film: " The story of how fish from the Mekong River are caught and sold, cooked and consumed, by the people of the Mekong region. The rich wild capture fisheries of the Mekong River and its ecosystems feed and support not only people living alongside the river, but are crucial for the livelihoods of millions of people across mainland Southeast Asia who trade, sell and cook them. Caught using an array of nets, baskets and traps, cooked in many amazing ways, the Mekong River’s wild fish catch is central to the region’s food security. Through the stories of the people themselves, the film shows the journey of the wild capture fish from fisher to trader to cook to consumer - its passage through networks of trade as people work through the night and day to transport the catch to villages and towns, to markets, homes and restaurants."
