Narrator: These motorroads were built after the Chinese invasion. The main reason for these roads is to enable the invaders to cart Tibet's resources away. The Chinese have felled over 60 % of Tibet's already scant trees. The forests of eastern and southern Tibet were twice as large as the British Isles. Up to one thousand truckloads a day depart from these areas to China, leaving behind irreparable ecological damage. The effects on the eight main rivers of Asia, which have their sources here, are already catastrophic.
