A massive influx of Chinese immigrants, arriving via the newly constructed Beijing-Lhasa Railway, has displaced many Tibetans from their homes and jobs. Rampant deforestation, unregulated mining, and poorly planned farming have exacted a terrible toll on Tibet's delicate ecosystem. Through gorgeously nuanced photographs, photographers Danny Conant and Catherine Steinmann record the pervasive cultural, environmental, economic, and religious losses they have witnessed over ten years of visiting Tibet, and pay homage to a beautiful land and beloved culture that are slowly and inexorably disappearing. 96 pp.
