Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.
When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.
Tibetans living in Nagshoe Township in Driru County have been threatened with a five-year ban on the harvest of Yartsa Gunbo (Ophiocordyceps sinensis) which is a major source of their income. They have been told they must hold a talent show with performers wearing animal fur costumes. The Dalai Lama has appealed to people to stop wearing animal products. Refusal to participate or attend the show will incur the ban.
