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.
China has placed nearly half of the land in the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) under the strictest ecological supervision. 300,000 Tibetans have been displaced as a result of the policy. Many of the Tibetans have been resettled close to the border with India as part of territorial security measures. The Global Times reported that for these Tibetans “herding is patrolling and living is guarding the frontier.”
