CAPTURING STORIES OF TIBETAN NOMADS

MY FAMILY LIVES IN THE NOMADIC HIGHLANDS OF HANLAY— A NOMADIC PASTORALIST COMMUNITY IN ONE OF THE HIGHEST ALTITUDES OF LADAKH, INDIA, AND BORDERING TIBET.

WE ARE LIVING A NOMADIC LIFE.

THE LIFE OF NOMADS EMBODY SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES WITH ZERO CARBON FOOTPRINT.

AS I SET MY HOME IN THE NOMADIC HIGHLANDS, I CAPTURE THE STORIES OF TIBETAN NOMADS, MY FAMILY, AND HUMAN-NATURE-LAND-ANIMAL RELATIONS IN THE AGE OF CLIMATE CHANGE.

I CAPTURE THE VISIBLE SIGNS OF CLIMATE CHANGE—THE MELTING GLACIERS, RECEDING GRASSLANDS, ARID WINTERS—IMPACTING THE TRADITIONAL NOMADIC LIFE OF BOTH HUMANS AND ANIMALS.

THE STORIES TIBETAN MOADS SHOWCASE HUMAN RESILIENCE, ADAPTABILITY, AND SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES IN THE AGE OF CLIMATE CHANGE.

My wife Namgyal teaches Math and Tibetan at a Tibetan school for nomads. She also teaches students to weave traditional Tibetan carpets.
