QINGHAI RANGERS RISE TO MEET CHALLENGES
Nomads experience changes in role they play
When Tashi, a 49-year-old park ranger, rose at 6:30 am, his wife was busy preparing a breakfast of milk tea and tsampa, a pastry made from highland barley.
Even though the rising sun's rays shone through the window, the September morning air on the Tibetan Plateau was cool.
Tashi is now in his fourth year working as a ranger at Sanjiangyuan National Park, in Qinghai province. The venue is due to open later this year and will become China's first national park.
