Francis Tsang writes on LinkedIn: Tibetan nomadic herders live in one of the harshest environments on Earth, facing extreme weather conditions and difficult terrains. Their traditional lifestyle is crucial for preserving the unique cultural heritage and ecological balance of the Tibetan Plateau, often referred to as “the roof of the world.”

These Tibetan herders contribute significantly to the region’s cultural diversity through their rich traditions, practices, and languages. Many of them use sustainable grazing methods that promote the health of grasslands and support biodiversity. Their ability to thrive in such a demanding environment showcases remarkable resilience and adaptability.

By inviting tanneries, creators, designers, investors, brands, and OEMs to participate in the discussion, we can showcase the unique qualities of Tibetan Yak leather. This collaborative effort can help develop a thriving market that promotes high-quality, traceable leather products while supporting tanneries in maintaining sustainable practices.
