Summary

Description

Yak near Yamdrok lake, Tibet.

It is a long-haired bovinae found throughout the Himalayan region of south Central Asia, the Tibetan Plateau and as far north as Mongolia and Russia. The Tibetan economy is dominated by subsistence agriculture. Due to limited arable land, the primary occupation of the Tibetan Plateau is raising livestock, such as sheep, cattle, goats, camels, yaks, dzo, and horses. The Tibetan yak is an integral part of Tibetan life.

(Used in a small exhibition in Stockholm, at the World Water Week, raising awareness about climate change in the Himalayas. Original title was: "Tibet-5812")
