"The concept of ecological protection is on the mind of every herdsman," said Drolmayap, a herdsman-turned park ranger for the Sanjiangyuan National Park, which started trial operation in 2016, to protect the headwaters of the Yangtze, Yellow and Lancang (Mekong) rivers.
Sanjiangyuan means "the source of three rivers." The environment had degraded due to human activity such as overgrazing but has seen improvement over the past decade with intensified conservation and restoration input.
"The area has come back to life with blue sky, green grass, and clear water," Drolmayap said. "We frequently see Tibetan antelopes, which used to be a rare occurrence."
GREEN DEVELOPMENT
An economic model featuring a circular economy, renewable energy, and distinctive industries is forming on the Plateau, signaling an increasing level of green development.
The white paper pointed out that the unique strengths of local agriculture and animal husbandry have become increasingly outstanding on the Plateau.
Since 2004, China has invested more than 3 billion yuan in Tibet, directed to more than 450 projects in 10 categories related to agriculture and animal husbandry unique to the region, such as highland barley, yak-breeding, and traditional Tibetan medicine.
More than 100 leading enterprises have emerged as a result, increasing the incomes of local farmers and herdsmen by 1.18 billion yuan and benefiting 1.75 million people.
