The two boards (Canada and Scotland), leaders and friends of Plateau Perspectives (www.plateauperspectives.org) met for two days of meetings (August 9-10) designed to envisage the direction of future work (looking, for example, at our overall purpose as well as at the geographic scope of our programmes) of this Canadian-Scottish NGO. Happily, some members of our Council of Reference were also present for these discussions which were enormously interesting and fruitful. We met in the delightful context of a hunting lodge on the edge of a loch or lake in the Highlands of Scotland. Here are a few photos of Sallachy Lodge where we met. It was really a wonderful time where colleagues from Canada, the UK, the US, China, Kyrgyzstan and Austria met, many for the first time. Many enduring friendships and relationships were formed or further strengthened. This experience seemed to me to forge a unity and vision in the work and life of Plateau Perspectives far beyond what we previously sensed. Plateau Perspectives' purpose is to support conservation and community development in the Tibetan Plateau and Central Asian Highlands.

The Lodge's website describes the geographic context of our meetings as follows: "Sallachy Lodge is located on a private Highland Sporting and Fishing estate extending to 10,500 hectares set within breath taking scenery along the bank of Loch Shin. The Estate is located within the county of Sutherland in the North of Scotland and lies north west of the small, picturesque, rural village of Lairg . Holidaying at Sallachy Estate provides the ideal location to enjoy the beauty and the tranquility of the Scottish Highlands, an ideal holiday destination for all."
