Visions of Development: Where Have All the Yaks Gone?

Friday, May 20th: 6:00 – 9:00 PM
Saturday, May 21st: 9:30 AM – 5:30 PM
Organizer: Trace Foundation, New York


The grasslands are changing. Across the Tibetan Plateau, desertification, biodiversity loss and ecological relocations are dramatically altering the landscape, and reshaping Tibetan society. What’s happening on the grasslands today poses unprecedented challenges to Tibetan communities, and will have a profound impact on them far into the future. Join us Friday and Saturday, May 20th and 21st for the first event in our second lecture series, Visions of Development, as we explore the state of the plateau’s grasslands, and its bearing upon the future of Tibetan communities.

Visions of Development brings together speakers from a wide array of professional and academic backgrounds to explore the effects of diverse development strategies being deployed around the world on local communities. Through lectures and panel discussions Visions of Development will examine the global process of development, with a special comparative emphasis on the Tibetan case.
