Looking out over the vast grasslands of western Sichuan on the Tibetan Plateau. Inhabited by nomadic Tibetans, ethnic Khampa and Golok people, the fate of the grasslands is in jeopardy. The Chinese government has other plans for the vast landscape of eastern Tibet, including gas exploration and large scale farming of barley and wheat- although it is unsure if the environment is able to cope with such crops. Over 4500 meters, much of the area remains frozen for 6-9 months a year.
