The Tibetan Plateau

His Holiness the Dalai Lama speaks to the Canada Tibet Committee about the effects of climate change in the Tibetan Plateau.
Glaciers in Tibet are melting at a rate faster than anywhere else in the world and this has a direct impact on river flows, natural hazards, the ecosystem, as well as on people and their livelihoods.

New species of ancient rhinoceros found in Tibet

[456inthemix]

Paleontologists dig out a fossil that dates to about a million years before other known woolly rhinos. The find casts new light on the evolutionary importance of the Tibetan highlands before the ice age.

Searching across the Tibetan plateau, paleontologists have discovered a species of woolly rhinoceros that may be an ancestor of the great ice age beasts that roamed the plains of North America, Europe and Asia.

[456inthemix]

The Coelodonta tibetana fossil dates to about 3.7 million years ago, about a million years before other known woolly rhinos. The findings, published in edition of the journal Science, lead researchers to believe that before the ice age began, the chilly Tibetan highlands may have served as an evolutionary cradle for cold-hardy mammals whose descendants thrived in the glacial times that followed.
