🌱 At the 8th Silk Road (Dunhuang) International Cultural Expo, Tashi Dorji—an expert from Nepal’s International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD)—took center stage with fresh ideas on sustainable development.
During his visit to the Chinese mainland, Tashi was wowed by how grassland management and pastoralism merge with tech-driven solutions. Tashi quipped: 'It’s like watching nature and innovation dancing together!' From satellite monitoring to community-led grazing plans, the Chinese mainland’s approach is all about balance.
But it wasn’t just the green fields that got his attention. In Dunhuang, centuries-old caves, desert oases and local art came alive under careful conservation. Tashi praised this model of responsible tourism, saying it felt like a blockbuster movie set—but it’s the real deal.
Back in Nepal, Tashi plans to adapt these lessons—blending them with mountain traditions and local needs. He believes that, with the right mix of community spirit and smart tech, grasslands everywhere can thrive. For young changemakers and eco-enthusiasts, Dorji’s experience is a powerful reminder: sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the next big adventure. 🚀🌿
