（单词翻译）

 The Tibetan Plateau is a quarter of China. Much of it is extremely remote and inhospitable. Its southern border runs through the world’s highest mountain range--the formidable Himalayas. Its central part is a wind-swept and freezing wilderness1, the size of Western Europe. But this challenging place is home to incredible wildlife. There are more large creatures here than anywhere else in China. 

 
Tibet has been a province of China for more than 50 years, yet it has a unique character, shaped by over a thousand years of Tibetan Buddhism2. This obscure and archaic-looking religion has produced one of the most enlightened cultures on earth. Here, people have a long tradition of co-existing peacefully with the creatures and landscape around them, a relationship which has helped to protect their fragile environment. 
 
In this program, we will discover why this harsh land with its ancient culture is vitally important for much of our planet.
 
It’s the beginning of winter high up on the Tibetan Plateau. The temperature will soon drop to minus 40 Celsius3. Out here, life is reduced to a single imperative4: survival.
