Abstract
Based on long time field study in Tibetan communities in central Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) and empirical knowledge, through analyzing the population change of donkeys of different communities, this article aims at finding the reasons of the changes caused by economic and social changes, especially changes in eco-environment, in order to provide a perspective to better understand changes in TAR.
Highlights
Livestock are important producing and living materials for Tibetan farmers and herdsmen
Even in the relatively developed farming area by the river valley, which has been appointed by the government as commercial foodstuff production base, there are no farmers who never engage in animal husbandry
Animal husbandry (Luorong Zhandui 罗绒战堆, 2006) in Tibetan rural areas plays a vital role in agricultural development and livelihood improvement, so the complementation of agriculture and farmers (Luorong Zhandui 罗绒战堆, 2009) is the foundation and basic rule of Tibetan rural economic development
