Qinghai Lake, Tibet, China, Climate Change

Tibetan men in their tent near Qinghai Lake. Thousands of Tibetan nomads have been relocated to nearby towns in an attempt to reduce the ecological deterioration around Qinghai Lake, China's largest inland body of water which 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. Qinghai Province. China. 2010
