Tsewang Namgail on why Ladakh movement is important for its unique wildlife

Tsewang Namgail, Director, Snow Leopard Conservancy - India Trust, on why Ladakh movement is important for its unique wildlife. From butterflies and plants to the Snow leopard, this wildlife is crucial for human survival itself; but also in its own right, as taught by Buddhist ethics. Inappropriate 'development' including unregulated tourism threatens it, and Constitutional safeguards (statehood, 6th Schedule for Tribal areas) could provide a chance to take a more locally appropriate path of well-being.

Why don't Ladakh is shut down for Ladakh and people returning to our ancestral profession of farming, if Ladakhis are so concerned about ecology and environment of Ladakh? What is that suddenly happened in 2023 that Ladakhis are making hue and cry. 6 schedule is nothing but going back to our primitive life style and living. The fact is Ladakhis are pampered children fed always on the tax payers money. We are tribals just by categorisation. Otherwise Ladakhis are the richest and most prosperous and advanced community in India. Still 40% Ladakhis have registered themselves as BPL. Shame on this hypocrites calling themselves as Buddhist. Dirty politics every where. Leg pulling in all spheres of life. Har sahab pe ollu.
