For 4,000 years nomads have grazed herds of yak over the vast grasslands of Tibet. But now, the chinese government is assaulting this distinctive form of Tibetan culture as it aims to force almost one million nomads off their ancestral lands and into desolate tenement complexes where their agricultural skills are suddenly redundant. As nomads are forced into resettlement complexes, their yaks and other livestock are confiscated or slaughtered.
Free Tibet is campaigning for an end to forced nomadic resettlement.
