Fantastic #wildlife in #China | Mt. #Qomolangma Edition https://xhnewsapi.xinhuaxmt.com/share/news?id=826157523537920&showType=3003&version=3.1.4&projectSource=-1&clientMarket=huawei

Global warming and the cross-border transport of air pollutants have accelerated the melting of glaciers in the Mt. #Qomolangma region, but its retreat trend is relatively slow compared with other parts of the world, a Chinese scientist has said.
Decades of ground and remote-sensing monitoring found that glaciers on the north slope of Mt. #Qomolangma the world's highest peak, have shrunk by about 6.5 percent since 2000.

Herdsmen living in Zhaxizom Township of Tingri County, the nearest administrative township in China to Mt. #Qomolangma, have been providing yak services to climbers for years.
A 9-day round trip would make them earn more than 569 USD.
