About [Edit]
The purpose of the Tibetan Plateau Project (TPP) is to promote the conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable development of mountain communities in the Tibetan Plateau region, which includes portions of Bhutan, China, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Tibet. TPP's campaigns emphasize regional strategies for biodiversity conservation and economic development that benefit local people and inform the international community about environmental threats facing the region.
Among TPP's goals are to:
* Safeguard regional ecosystems by supporting conservation strategies and development goals that protect biodiversity
* Promote protection of wildlife and plant resources in the Tibetan Plateau region by conducting research and strengthening international, U.S. and foreign conservation laws and policies
* Develop resources for supporting the conservation of medicinal plants used in Tibetan and other traditional medical systems
* Act as an information clearinghouse providing easily accessible background to the public, activists, policymakers and academics worldwide on the countries and biodiversity conservation issues relevant to the Tibetan Plateau region
TPP is a project of Earth Island Institute (EII)
