Isamchoe Dolam,34,is an excellent example. In 1988 she was transferred to the Tibetan Plateau Biology Research Institute attached to the Autonomous Region Science and Technology Commission to begin her research on the wild animal resources. But because the Tibetan Plateau is so richly endowed with wildlife,the area captured her interset. Doima joined each field investigation organized by her institute. North of the Changtant Plateau is a harsh climate.
Drinking water is scarce.
The study group often encountered violent snowstorms and at once point was lost. When snow trapped them in their tents. They couldn't have hot meals or boiled water for many days. Tsamchoe Dolma overcame all of these predicaments like her male counterparts. After four investigations of wildlife on the Changtant Plateau, the team catalogued 30,022 plateau animals, of which 28,329 were mammals under state chief protection.
