"To help nomadic families live a better life, we not only need giant projects such as the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, but also practical inventions like this wheelbarrow," he said.

Wang Jian, secretary-general of Beijing Society of Workers Contributing to Tibet's Development, worked in Tibet for 40 years before retirement. He said poverty alleviation on the plateau is challenging as the harsh natural environment has restricted its development.

"On the Tibetan plateau, there are only two seasons, winter and almost winter. Dung is vital for the subsistence of each family. We have every reason to make dung collection more efficient and less arduous," said Wang.

As the wheelbarrow continues to be in trial use in the two Tibetan counties, Wang Guanghui said large-scale production will depend on feedback from the nomads.

"The product design may be further improved. The previous model was green, but we changed it to orange because we thought the color would stand out and could help rescuers locate nomads if there was a natural disaster," he said.
