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.
The Lakkor Tso Salt Lake in Tibet is under threat from lithium mining: Zijin Mining Group, one of the largest mining companies in the world is set to acquire the lithium mine there. Their report states that “after the completion of the acquisition, it will decide the specific development plan.” Local Tibetans regularly protest against large scale mining and are often imprisoned and beaten as a result.
