The grasslands of the Tibetan Plateau serve a special function in protecting the ecological function of this region at the headwaters of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. However, natural grasslands in this region are degraded to various degrees, due to human, socioeconomic, climate change, and threats from overpopulation of some species. Enhancing public participation in ecological conservation can be a feasible bottom-up solution for grassland degradation. The presentation will demonstrate how environmental NGOs work with local herders, government, schools, and enterprises to relieve the stocking pressure on grassland and improve the ecological environment through public participation.
