Started
in June 2003, Trin-gyi-pho-nya ("Cloud Messenger") is an initiative
of Tibet Justice Center's Environment and Development Program to share
news and expert commentary on Tibet's environment and the various development
projects underway on the Tibetan Plateau.
Trin-gyi-pho-nya was born out of the observation that the early stages
of Chinese economic projects that have negative implications for Tibet
and it's people are often underreported and underpublicized, and that
despite the immense power of the Chinese central government, there are
many development projects moving forward on the local and provincial level
with little to no planning or approval, let alone input from international
environmental experts and the Tibetan communities affected by these projects.
Trin-gyi-pho-nya is principally the product of Tashi
Tsering and Tibet Justice Center Environmental
& Development researchers Dolkar Tsering, Thinley Norbu, Ngawang Legshe,
Thupten Norbu, and Ai Jiang Shan. Email us

an article.
