Meanwhile, the region spent a total of 780 million yuan to preserve its natural forests, wetlands and wildlife, prevent forest fires, plant diseases and insect pests and promote clean energy in nomadic communities, according to the regional government.
Experts say environment protection on the Tibet Plateau is essential in fighting glacial melting and climate change.
