Impact

Plateau Perspectives community health initiatives have succeeded in training over a hundred village doctors and twenty-four female health workers who are specialized in maternal and child health. The best of these health staff are now working in newly established village health centres. Their environmental education initiatives have led to the establishment of community-based protected areas (PAs) and several wildlife monitoring teams. Through such capacity building programmes, Plateau Perspectives has effectively implemented and demonstrated the viability of a more people-centred approach to conservation, ‘community co-management’, and thus has helped advance sustainable development in the Tibetan Plateau region.
