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.
Tibetan nomads are being told to go home to their traditional grazing lands. They were forced to leave in a state-directed resettlement scheme, but the alternative housing provided for them is now wanted for development as tourist centres and housing for government employees. The nomads livelihood depends on their herds – which they had to reduce or sell when they left the land and no funding is available to replace them.
