Dear John,
Earth Day is almost here, and you still have time to secure your Save Tibet. Save the Planet. sticker. On 4/22, you can join ICT members all over the world by displaying your sticker and sharing on social media to draw attention to the environmental crisis in the Land of Snows.
We know China’s government tends to censor and hide the truth—whether it’s advocates for free speech in Tibet or the concerned Chinese doctors who treated the coronavirus pandemic, which is now affecting the entire world. But the truth must come out.
Tibet’s natural resources are not only breathtakingly beautiful: a billion people in Asia depend on Tibet’s water reserves for survival. Now, a breaking report from the New York Times exposes what we’ve reported on and advocated against: China’s irresponsible damming of Tibetan rivers has caused drought in downriver countries like Cambodia and Vietnam, exploiting Tibet’s resources for its economic and geopolitical interests.
Give now and help ramp up ICT initiatives that focus on giving Tibetans a voice in decisions affecting their environment. And to say thanks, we’ll rush you an exclusive Save Tibet. Save the Planet. sticker designed especially for Earth Day.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama reminds us, “Destruction of nature and natural resources results from ignorance, greed, and the lack of respect for Earth’s living things.”
John, your respect for all living things, and your compassion for the people of Tibet, are needed right now to protect Tibet’s precious resources.
Supporters like you have helped deliver more than 7,000 signatures to the United Nations calling for greater protection of Tibet’s environment. And you’ve helped introduce the Tibetan Policy and Support Act in Congress that includes key provisions to protect Tibet’s rivers and other natural resources.
But it’s important for you to respond quickly—the stakes are terribly high for Tibetans. After all, it’s their water, air and land that are being fouled. Please make your best gift today.
