Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.
When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.
Tieta, a Brazilian toucan, has been fitted with a plastic beak made with a 3D printer. She lost the upper part of her beak while being trafficked, and was later rescued from a wildlife animal fair in Rio de Janeiro. The prosthetic is made of plastic, covered with nail polish and sealed with a special polymer made from the castor oil plant.
