And thank god I knew it right when they were given the right to fish.<br />I am hopeful that it is only matter of time until the people of Kheng Berti are given their ancestral right.<br />Thank you for sharing on the Cordyceps issue, I was ignorant about it, but things are straightened now.<br />I will be interested to learn about the graze land issue of the south...if you ever agree on writing on it!PaSsuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614890147769005398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30026077.post-35899772197470325192010-09-08T14:01:39.683+06:002010-09-08T14:01:39.683+06:00Bhutanblogs, thank you for the instant respond, an...Bhutanblogs, thank you for the instant respond, and thank you more for coming up with the great site which stands as a directory of Bhutan blogs.

It is not only the people of Ada in Wan...Hi PaSsu,<br /><br />It is not only the people of Ada in Wangdue who have been deprived of their traditional source of sustenance; we have another village in Kheng who have suffered as well. This village is called Berti. The people from this village too lived off the Mangde-Chu for generations until the government decided to impose restrictions on their fishing traditions.<br /><br />Same thing also applies to the collection and trade in Cordyceps. The government, under a misconception, banned the collection of Cordyceps until few years back while turning a blind eye to the marauding Tibetans across the border who plundered these medicinal worms year after year. Fortunately, the ban has been lifted a few years back and people have benefitted immensely.<br /><br />While the government has gone and imposed ban on certain traditional lifestyle, it has failed to do away with some that continue to cause great hardship to some sections of the society. One tradition that needs to be done away with immediately is the annual migration of livestock from one region to another. In the past, the powerful rich families in the North were given grazing rights to graze their animal in the lands belonging to the poor people in the South (not Southern Bhutan). There are numerous problems associated with this and I do not want to go into it. But certainly, there is a need for the government to put its foot down and say: NO MORE! Some years back there was a discussion on this but it was opposed to by some interest group.Yeshey Dorjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414546232976648883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30026077.post-39277458581683270292010-09-08T12:36:16.524+06:002010-09-08T12:36:16.524+06:00My apologies for the link at the sidebar at http:/...My apologies for the link at the sidebar at http://bhutanblogs.com I fixed it.<br /><br />And a great post as always...:) keep writing!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08858330832395544959noreply@blogger.com
