Bring together local communities and Tibetan religious groups to promote conservation of endemic cypress, which has been over-collected for use in religious ceremonies and as a souvenir. Engage prestigious Tibetan reincarnated Buddha with local community people, schools, and government officials to promote culture and nature conservation and to take measures to protect the cypress.
