Tibet Wild follows Dr. Schaller’s expeditions to the
Tibetan Plateau from 1984 until the present day. Dr. Schaller’s
exploration of different aspects of the wildlife and culture of the
region show how the growth of permanent houses, roads, fences, and
other structures on the Tibetan Plateau is impacting wildlife and human
communities. Woven through each chapter is the idea that education as
well as partnerships between government, religious groups, and
conservation organizations are the best hope for protecting unique
wildlife and landscapes into the future. The book includes an inside
look at Schaller’s current and possibly most ambitious project:
the creation of the Pamir International Peace Park at the junction of
Afghanistan, Pakistan, China, and Tajikistan.
