Qinghai Lake, Tibet, China, Climate Change

Tibetan men near Qinghai Lake. Qinghai Lake, China's largest inland body of water lies at over 3000m on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. The lake has been shrinking in recent decades, as a result of increased water-usage for local agriculture. Many local Tibetan nomads have been relocated in an attempt to reduce the impact on the fragile highland ecosystems. Qinghai Province. China. 2010
