A FUTURE GARDEN FOR THE SICHUAN PROVINCE, ON THE EDGE OF THE TIBETAN PLATEAU
In partnership with Dr. Tang Ya, professor and ecologist at Sichuan University, we are cultivating a Future Garden in the highlands along the edge of the Tibetan Plateau. The site lies near the headwaters of the Min River, which flows into the city of Chengdu.
Species gathered from lower elevations of the Min River are being grown at about 13,000 feet to test their ability to withstand harsher conditions. These resilient plants may help restore biodiversity threatened by rapidly rising temperatures.
