WPSI's Wildlife Awareness Campaign for Tibetans has received an

overwhelming response in the large Tibetan settlements in South

India. More than 8,500 people attended a campaign event at the

Bylakuppe Tibetan settlement on 11 January 2007, where our team

leader Ngawang Rabgyal made a presentation, showed a film and

distributed thousands of brochures.

The Khampa-language WPSI brochure - which urges Tibetan people not

to encourage the illegal trade in tiger, leopard and otter skins and

the trade in raw shahtoosh wool - was also widely distributed during

the last day of the Dalai Lama's 'long life' puja on 12 January 2007.

 

Interestingly, we have also learnt that text and photographs from

WPSI's campaign brochure have been reprinted in an education

magazine published by one of the biggest Khampa monasteries in

Tibet, Sejey in Sichuan Province.

 

Best wishes, Belinda
