Walking through Asia’s water tower – the challenge of climate change on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Published

on

Article·Hengduan Mountain Research Society

As a global meteorological outpost, the mechanism and influence of climate change on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are complicated. In October 1998,he led the “Yarlung Zangbo River scientific rafting expedition”, drifted 1,600 kilometers from the Jiemayangzong Glacier in Zhongba County, Tibet, the source of the Yarlung Zangbo River, to Pai Township (today’s Pai Town) in Mainling County. After that, he crossed the Grand Canyon on foot and spent 35 days crossing the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon. In 2010, he launched another bold project, “Asian Water Tower — International River Survey on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau” and spent six months visiting a majority of international rivers on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Although he had explored most of the rivers on the Tibetan Plateau over the past 20 years, in this mission, he did a systematic, complete, inch-by-inch survey of the headwaters of Asian great rivers that originate on the Tibetan Plateau.

During the investigation, he felt the benefits that the implementation of the River Chief System in recent years has brought to the protection of both water resources and the relevant environment on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and he could clearly see the efforts of climate actions such as the layout of clean energy and de-coaling. But the unprovoked accusations, such as artificial rainfall on the Tibetan plateau, are always discouraging. Regardless of the standpoint of science, the well-rounded artificial rainfall, as a very scientific and rigorous scientific practice, has been used in the United States, Australia and other countries. However, many people still believe that artificial rainfall is to release some cold air into the clouds. The most important fact is that the Tibetan Plateau region of China has a small population and the natural ecology has been able to meet the need of local living conditions. Therefore, large-scale artificial rainfall has no practical application scenario and practical significance at all. To top it all off, some people believe that China is just competing with India for rainwater.

he have heard similar rumors and prejudices at many South Asian Non-governmental organizations’ symposium on international rivers. Most of the participants remarked, “It is amazing how little the media of each country knows about its neighbors.” In this environment of lack of communication and political suspicion, debate is often driven by lack of information and political smear, and alarmist media reports are more likely to fan the flames of national conflicts.

There has always been controversy around the discussion of climate change, especially the various claims of the scientific interpretation of the mechanism of climate change. What is even more puzzling is that negotiations on climate action, without strong scientific support, seem to only strive for profit, and humanity will lose its way if it continues like this. The scientific community has long believed that the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the frontier of the earth science, with many key issues to be broken through. Tackling climate change will be futile or even disastrous before it is solved.

What are the main causes of climate change and glacier melting on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau? In recent years, some researchers have suggested that when the solar system moves out of the Quaternary Ice Age and into a higher background energy field, it is the cause of the temperature rise. However, he believe that the temperature rise at the altitude of 5,000 to 6,000 meters is mainly caused by the fact that a large amount of greenhouse gases emitted by human beings absorb heat in the atmosphere of the Tibetan Plateau in the atmospheric circulation. Therefore, they should face and share the responsibility together instead of making groundless accusations against any one country in order to deal with climate change on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and even over the whole world.

Vice President of the United States Harris pointed out recently, the war for water resources will come soon. In he’s opinion, both water resources and the influence of global warming on the Tibetan Plateau are a fait accompli, the unilateral effort of each country is only a temporary solution. Environmental protection is not just a matter of pure science, but if there is too much political manipulation and rancour involved, the problem gets trickier. The growth of all creatures depends on harmony. China and south Asian countries around the Tibetan Plateau create a new win-win cooperation of climate governance in such aspects as scientific research, the meteorological disaster warning, can not only monitor the secondary disasters caused by climate change, to avoid the life and property loss. More importantly, a collaborative and vivid climate action can provide the international community with a set of effective experiences that can be replicated in climate governance.

Climate change is already causing serious environmental problems on the Tibetan Plateau and the Brahmaputra River basin as I have proposed many times in international seminars. The international community should build consensus and join hands in tackling these threats especially the neighboring countries. Partha J. Das, a scientist from the Indian NGO Aaranyak, also pointed out at the symposium that these warnings apply to the Indian government as well. The Indian government plans to build 70 water projects on the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra River. China and India need face the common threats in cooperation. Referred to the outburst floods from the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra in June 2000, Das said: “Most of the damage could have been avoided if the media in both China and India had reported it widely.”  Obviously, China and India are both on the same page at environmental and climatic changes on the Tibetan Plateau.  He also claimed that China and India should enhance cooperation on flood early warning both in the Government and Non-governmental, signing a bilateral agreement and sharing hydrological observation data.

CatKing Cattery in Toronto Champions Ethical Breeding and Premium British Kittens for Loving Homes

Published

on

  • CatKing Cattery in Toronto promotes ethical breeding, offering healthy, well-socialized British Shorthair and Longhair kittens for reservation, ensuring lifelong care and support for new owners.

Toronto, ON, 3rd February 2026, ZEX PR WIRECatKing Cattery, a registered Royal British cattery based in Toronto, has established itself as a leading source for purebred British Shorthair and British Longhair kittens, emphasizing ethical breeding practices and exceptional care standards. Operating as a legally registered corporation in Ontario, compliant with local regulations and covered by $2 million in commercial liability insurance, CatKing Cattery adheres to the rigorous guidelines of The International Cat Association (TICA) and the Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA). The cattery’s commitment to responsible breeding ensures that every kitten is healthy, well-socialized, and prepared to become a valued family member, making it a trusted choice for those seeking premium feline companions across Canada and internationally.

The cattery’s breeding program prioritizes the health of its cats through comprehensive genetic and medical screenings. All breeding cats undergo regular testing for conditions such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS), Persian-derived progressive retinal atrophy (PRA-pd), and polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Screenings for feline leukemia (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) are also conducted to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases to offspring. Each kitten receives three veterinary examinations, four core vaccines, and treatments for internal and external parasites before leaving the cattery at 12 to 16 weeks of age.

This thorough health protocol is supported by a lifetime genetic disease warranty, a 30-day complimentary pet insurance plan, a 30-day rehoming health protection plan, and a 7-day environmental-related issues protection plan. A representative of CatKing Cattery stated, “Our rigorous health screening process reflects our dedication to producing kittens free from genetic and hereditary issues, providing new owners with confidence in their pet’s long-term well-being.”

Socialization is a cornerstone of CatKing Cattery’s breeding philosophy, ensuring kittens develop into confident, affectionate companions. From two weeks of age, kittens are handled daily to foster trust in human interaction. They are gradually exposed to household stimuli, such as doorbells and vacuum cleaners, to reduce fearfulness. Supervised interactions with other animals, including calm dogs, help kittens learn appropriate social behaviors, making them adaptable to multi-pet households. By the time they are ready to leave, kittens are fully litter box trained and comfortable in diverse environments, facilitating a seamless transition to their new families.

CatKing Cattery’s ethical breeding practices are evident in its careful management of breeding frequency and pairing. Female cats, known as queens, are bred only once or twice annually to safeguard their health, with sufficient recovery periods between litters. Breeding pairs are selected based on health, temperament, and compliance with TICA and CFA breed standards, focusing on traits such as sturdy builds and calm demeanors. The cattery maintains a clean, spacious environment with access to high-quality nutrition and regular veterinary oversight. By limiting the number of breeding cats and planning litters to prevent inbreeding, CatKing Cattery ensures the production of healthy, high-quality kittens.

The reservation process at CatKing Cattery is designed to be transparent and efficient. Prospective owners select a kitten from the available listings, complete an application form, undergo a review, sign a contract, and pay a 50% deposit. Each kitten comes with a comprehensive package that includes four core vaccines, three veterinary exams, internal and external deworming, socialization, litter box training, genetic testing of parents, and free delivery within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

CatKing Cattery’s dedication to excellence is reflected in its cats’ achievements at international competitions. Notable kings and queens include Allen, a TICA World Best Blue Golden British Shorthair and North America Best Blue Golden British Shorthair, and Snowbear, a TICA Northeast 2nd Best British Longhair. Other distinguished cats, such as Diana, a TICA Northeast 2nd and 3rd Best of Breed British Shorthair, and Shirley, a TICA Kitten’s Best of Breed, highlight the cattery’s adherence to exceptional breeding standards.

To maintain a controlled and safe environment for its cats, CatKing Cattery does not permit in-person visits but provides detailed 4K videos of available kittens on its website and offers video calls to showcase their personalities. The cattery specializes in a range of colors, including blue golden shaded, golden shaded, silver shaded, silver shaded point, golden shaded point, blue golden shaded point, cream golden shaded, golden shaded with white, and lilac golden shaded, ensuring a diverse selection for prospective owners.

CatKing Cattery also offers exclusive boarding services for kittens previously rehomed from their facility. The VIP Glass Suite, measuring 120cm x 100cm x 100cm, accommodates one cat per suite at a rate of $25.99 per day. Boarding includes premium nutrition, daily playtime, nail clipping, grooming, regular health checks, and 24/7 emergency veterinary support, with door-to-door pick-up and drop-off available in the GTA. Discounts of 5% are applied for stays exceeding 14 days, and 10% for stays over 30 days.

The cattery’s commitment to after-sales support sets it apart, offering lifelong consulting to address any questions about kitten care. Owners can contact the cattery for advice on topics such as nutrition, grooming, or behavioral training, ensuring a smooth integration for their new pet. A representative of CatKing Cattery remarked, “Our mission is to deliver exceptional kittens while supporting owners throughout their pet’s life.

CatKing Cattery Brings Premium British Shorthair Kittens to Canadian Cat Lovers

Published

on

  • The health-focused cattery is setting new standards in British Shorthair breeding, combining careful care, responsible practices, and personalized guidance.

Toronto, ON, 3rd February 2026, ZEX PR WIREFor many cat lovers across Canada, finding a British Shorthair kitten that meets high standards of health, temperament, and breed authenticity has often felt like a daunting and frustrating challenge. The growing popularity of British Shorthairs has grown dramatically in recent years, resulting in prospective owners frequently encountering obstacles when attempting to find a kitten from a reputable and responsible breeder. Many potential pet owners are left disappointed after searching through inconsistent breeding practices, overcrowded facilities, or breeders who prioritize profit over the welfare of the kittens.

“From the moment the kittens are born, we nurture them with attention, socialization, and proper care to ensure they develop into happy, confident cats. Our goal is to provide Canadian families with kittens who will thrive in their new homes for years to come.”

Understanding these challenges, CatKing Cattery has stepped forward to provide high-quality British Shorthair kittens raised in a loving home environment. The cattery’s mission is to bridge the gap between eager cat lovers and healthy, well-bred kittens while ensuring the highest standards of feline welfare. By offering kittens that are meticulously cared for from birth, CatKing Cattery helps families avoid the stress, uncertainty, and disappointment often associated with finding the perfect pet.

Speaking about the necessity of this initiative, a company representative shared, “At CatKing Cattery, we understand how disheartening it can be to encounter inconsistent breeding practices or inadequate health guarantees. Our mission is to ensure families have access to exceptional kittens whose well-being and temperament have been carefully nurtured from day one.”

CatKing Cattery places immense emphasis on early socialization, proper veterinary care, and age-appropriate nutrition to ensure each kitten develops into a well-adjusted, healthy adult cat. Each kitten is carefully monitored for growth, temperament, and health milestones, and all receive age-appropriate vaccinations and preventive care. By providing this structured environment, CatKing Cattery ensures that every kitten is not only physically healthy but also emotionally prepared for life with a loving family.

The cattery’s commitment to ethical breeding practices is another critical aspect of the solution they offer. Many potential owners are wary of encountering breeders who prioritize appearance or profit over the welfare of the kittens. CatKing Cattery operates under a philosophy that places the needs of the cats above all else. The breeding program is thoughtfully designed to promote strong genetics, healthy development, and a consistent temperament that aligns with the characteristics British Shorthairs are known for: gentle, calm, and affectionate. By maintaining these high standards, the cattery provides prospective owners with confidence that their new pet will be a lifelong source of joy, companionship, and emotional fulfillment.

By sourcing kittens from a reputable and ethical breeder, families reduce the risk of inherited health issues, receive pets with proper socialization, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing the animal has been raised in a nurturing environment. In addition, ethically bred kittens tend to develop healthier, more stable temperaments, making them easier to integrate into family life and fostering positive long-term relationships.

The cattery also understands that finding a pet is only the first step in a long-term relationship. For many families, getting a British Shorthair is a life-changing decision, and it comes with responsibilities that can feel overwhelming without proper guidance. To address this, CatKing Cattery goes beyond simply providing kittens; they offer continuous support and resources to new owners. With after-sales support, they ensure that every owner has access to the knowledge and tools necessary to care for their kitten successfully. This ongoing support helps prevent the common pitfalls that can occur in the early months of pet ownership and strengthens the bond between the kitten and its new family.

Beyond providing kittens, CatKing Cattery is committed to educating prospective owners about the British Shorthair breed itself. Many new owners may not fully understand the specific needs, personality traits, or care requirements of this breed. CatKing takes the time to provide thorough guidance on what to expect from their kitten as it grows, including information on grooming, activity levels, and health monitoring. This level of transparency not only builds trust between the cattery and prospective owners but also equips families with the knowledge they need to offer the best possible care.

Over time, the cattery has developed a reputation for excellence by ensuring their kittens have a smooth transition into their new homes, form strong bonds with their owners, and maintain good health and temperament.

CatKing Cattery’s proactive approach to addressing the shortage of reputable British Shorthair breeders in Canada exemplifies how dedication, care, and ethical standards can transform a common problem into an opportunity for positive impact. By providing kittens that are healthy, well-socialized, and raised with love, the cattery not only meets the needs of eager cat lovers but also sets a standard for responsible breeding practices nationwide.

Ultimately, CatKing Cattery is more than a breeding facility; it is a trusted partner for people seeking to welcome a British Shorthair into their homes. By addressing the challenges that have long made finding these cats difficult, the cattery has created a solution that benefits both kittens and families alike. For cat lovers who have struggled to find a responsible source of British Shorthair kittens, CatKing Cattery offers an accessible, reliable, and ethically grounded option, ensuring that the joy of welcoming a new feline companion is a rewarding and worry-free experience. Through its dedication to health, temperament, and ethical breeding, the Toronto cattery continues to enhance the lives of cat enthusiasts while raising the standard for what it means to be a responsible and caring breeder.
