Tibetan Plateau Ecosystem

The Tibetan Plateau Ecosystem is a vast and high-altitude environment in Asia, often called the "Roof of the World." It spans over 2.5 million square kilometers and includes diverse habitats like grasslands, wetlands, and mountain peaks. Despite extreme cold and thin air, it supports unique plants, animals like yaks, Tibetan antelope, and snow leopards, and vital migratory bird pathways. This ecosystem plays a crucial role in regulating regional climate, water resources, and biodiversity. Its fragile balance is sensitive to climate change and human activities, making its conservation vital for ecological stability and local livelihoods.
