In Tibetan region, we've witnessed climate change and ecological degradation push herder communities into direct conflict with wildlife — blue bears, snow leopards raiding livestock at night. As students from the city, we felt a responsibility beyond observation.
We co-founded Revitalization of Tibetan Handicrafts to sell Khampa handicrafts directly to buyers around the world, channeling income back to the Tibetan households we lived and worked alongside. We pair our sales with field interviews, so the commerce is tied to real listening.
