Tibetan Nomads moving across the grasslands with their animals, their home a tent, nomads evoke freedom. Their world cherishes mobility and the liberty to roam in search of grass and water. Nomads are constantly exposed to the elements of nature – rain, snowstorms, and drought; they take these events for granted and face them with remarkable equanimity. Values that humankind admires – courage, integrity, generosity – are principles instinctive to nomads. They also have an intimate knowledge of their environment and an amazing ability to handle animals — a skill rare among most people today. Despite these admirable traits, nomads are facing serious threats throughout the world.
