Lungs of Lhasa

The Lhasa Wetlands National Nature Preserve, known locally as Lhalu, is the highest urban wetland in the world. Spreading beneath the Potola Palace, this 1,605 acre protected area not only preserves open space but provides critical ecological services as the "lungs of Lhasa."

Future Generations provides training and support to the Tibetan Plateau Biology Institute to preserve the remaining wetlands within the capital city of Lhasa.
