A FUTURE GARDEN FOR THE SICHUAN PROVINCE, ON THE EDGE OF THE TIBETAN PLATEAU

In collaboration with professor and ecologist Dr. Tang Ya of Sichuan University, we have begun to propagate a Future Garden in the high grounds bordering the Tibetan Plateau in China. The site is located toward the top of the Min River watershed, which flows into Chengdu city. 

Species have been collected from lower elevations along the Min River and are currently being propagated at around 13,000 feet to be tested for resilience. These species can then be used to recover the diversity loss occurring as temperatures rapidly rise.
