| Title | Rethinking Grassland Policies: The Case of Environmental Justice of Tibetan Nomads |
| Summary | Tibetan Nomads residing on different types of grassland stretched across the Tibetan plateau have changed profoundly in their socio-cultural, economic and ecological sustenance in the last fifty years under the introduction of numerous development oriented policies. The success and failure of these policy initiatives have been of varying degrees depending on the specific geographic attributes of the grasslands. However the overall status of the grasslands deteriorated, while the traditional practice of nomadic pastoralism is disappearing gradually. Restoring nomadic pastoralism becomes an important function for grassland conservation. Under the Grassland law, various grassland policies were orchestrated to restore grassland’s health. However, the rationale of these proposed solutions need to ensure continuity of nomadic pastoralism. This research draws an interdisciplinary analysis to critically rethink some of the key grassland policies from an environmental justice context to produce recommendations in order to better achieve its stated goal of grassland conservation and restoration. |
