Contact is taking a holiday!

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.

Dogs to the Rescue

December 15, 2015;

The little penguin – the smallest penguin in the world at just 30-40 cm tall – lives on tiny Australian Middle Island. Ten years ago foxes had all but wiped out the colony, reducing it from 800 to just four. Then a local farmer lent one of his Maremma dogs to protect the birds and since then, no penguin has been killed by foxes and the population has risen to around 200.
