"Hunting the Wild Yak and Chasing Wild Ass: Sport and Adventure on the Tibetan Frontier" is a photo-illustrated lecture about Tibet's wildlife and nomads.  Daniel Miller first went to Tibet 20 years ago to conduct research on wild yaks.  Since then he's made over 30 trips to Tibet, investigating wildlife, rangelands and nomads and working on biodiversity conservation and pastoral development projects.  Miller discusses the challenges facing the conservation of Tibet's wildlife and issues related to the future of nomadic pastoralists on the Tibetan Plateau.  Few other Westerners have as much experience and insight as Miller has on the Tibetan Plateau.   With stunning photographs and interesting commentary, Miller will take us on a remarkable journey to a little known part of Asia -- the Tibetan Frontier -- where wild yaks still roam the mountains, Tibetan wild ass gallop across the steppes in unbridled freedom and nomads continue to move with their herds of yaks across the highest elevation grazing lands in the world as they have for centuries.
