ACROSS THE TIBETAN PLATEAU
ECOSYSTEMS, WILDLIFE AND CONSERVATION
AA.VV
Guía visual del ecosistema de la región del Tíbet, en concreto de la provincia de Qinghai, en la República Popular China, y Ladakh, en Cachemira. La meseta tibetana ocupa aproximadamente un área de 2,5 millo-nes de kilómetros cuadrados de extensión; de este territorio los autores quieren plasmar su éxito de conser-vación medioambiental. Mediante fotografías como las de un antílope tibetano recién nacido o el goral rojo, la obra permitirá al lector introducirse y profundizar en la flora y la fauna de la región. Here is the most comprehensive photography to date of a little-known and seldom-visited land whose area equals western Europe. The beauty and diversity of Tibet is staggering: from Mount Everest to the world's deepest gorge, from tropical jungles to arctic-like tundra, from trees twenty feet in diameter to vast herds and solitary specimens of some of the least-known animals on the planet. Certain photographs, such as those of a newborn Tibetan antelope or the elusive red ghoral, are among the first ever taken of these subjects. The book brings American, Tibetan, and Chinese scholarship to bear on the natural history of Tibet, and it also describes an extraordinary conservation accomplishment that has gone virtually unnoticed by the outside world. Where else has 40 percent of the land been set aside in nature preserves in twenty years? As a result of this effort, the animals and landscapes shown here will be saved for future generations.
