ebl-187	Glover, Denise M.	Khawa Karpo: Tibetan Traditional Knowledge and Biodiversity Conservation	2014	2	.pdf	application/pdf	973	26	39	Other problems include the repeated use of pinyin romani- zation for Tibetan names (I am very aware of the difficulties of this in SW China especially but effort must be made to avoid this); the fact that the authors appear to have used Indian sources (and not Tibetan ones) to discuss the history of Tibetan medicine (use of the name Vairotsana for the historic figure that Tibetans call Yuthog Yonten Gonpo suggests this); and several statements about the state of Tibetan medicine in the People’s Republic of China seem simplistic and outdated: saying that traditional Tibetan medicine is recognized by the government only if from Lhasa does not acknowledge the contemporary central role of Tibetan medicine practice, teaching, research, and production in the Amdo (Qinghai) region and in Chamdo, two main hubs of activity in Tibetan medicine. Also essential is the discussion of local Tibetan knowledge, particularly although not exclusively from doctors of Tibetan medicine, in the context of conservation.	cache/ebl-187.pdf	txt/ebl-187.txt
