The mineral-rich mountains of Tibet are landscapes of solitude, where the greatest yogis withdrew from society to deeply realise the nature of the human mind. Those sacred landscapes and pilgrimage routes are now officially designated as mineral extraction enclaves. Tibet until now has not linked meaningfully to the Chinese economy, and mining on a significant scale has been minimal. China's 12th Five-Year Plan for 2011 onwards however is due to change all of this, with massive investment in world scale mining of copper, gold, silver, chromium and lithium for the world's factory, with devastating environmental and social outcomes. Despite great interest in Tibet worldwide, "Spoiling Tibet" is an entirely unique authoritative guide through the torrent of online posts, official propaganda and exile speculation.


Gabriel Lafitte is a development policy consultant to the environment and development desk of the Tibetan government-in-exile based in India. He has written for Open Democracy, Chinadialogue, Ethicalpolitics.org. He regularly speaks at both academic conferences but also at activist events around Tibet and nomad issues
