Drolma Gyalpo has spent most of his life protecting the environment of the grassland where he lives.
He has been collecting trash since 2003, and started planting trees and grass to counter desertification since 2014.
"When the yaks and sheep mistakenly eat plastic bags, they die," says the 51-year-old. "When there are too many such items, the grassland dies, too."
