Plateau Perspectives
is an international
non-profit organization that aims to promote conservation and
community development in the Tibetan Plateau
region of China. Plateau Perspectives has worked over the past twelve
years to improve community health, basic education and environmental
protection throughout the Tibetan Plateau region,
with a special focus on Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture.
These efforts have resulted in the construction of more than a dozen
medical clinics, the training of nearly two hundred village doctors, the
construction of two village schools, and participatory conservation with
herding communities of many endangered species such as snow leopard in
one of the world's largest and remotest nature reserves.

make a donation to Plateau Perspectives,

specific initiative, you can do so in several ways. At the present time,
