China is changing fast. Seemingly overnight it has become an
economic and political powerhouse on a global scale. Although it is
the recent rise of China that makes the daily news, the last
century saw other large and rapid changes: the fall of the last
imperial dynasty, the failure of the Nationalist government, and
the ascent of Mao Zedong and the new China. How have these changes
affected the land and people of China? Can lessons from the past
give us insights about the future? For six years, Robert Moseley
lived and worked as a conservation scientist in the mountains of
northwest Yunnan Province.As part of that work, he set out to
answer these questions and apply the results to the conservation of
nature and culture.
Northwest Yunnan provides a compelling backdrop to explore these
issues, with its spectacular mountain environment and diverse
ethnic cultures that were once remote, but are now confronted with
unprecedented rates of change. Following in the footsteps of early
twentieth century explorer-photographers, Moseley and colleagues
traveled extensively through this region rephotographing original
scenes and comparing them with modern conditions. In Revisiting
Shangri-La, he uses this collection of repeated photographs as a
powerful visual tool to portray the dynamic and resilient character
of people and the land and to communicate future opportunities for
conservation.
The causes of landscape and environmental change in China during
the past century are endureing questions. There is much
speculation, but little direct evidence.
But repeat photography does more than just document changes on the
land. It also documents change in people during the past century
and how cultural changes can influence the patterns of
environmental change. This is especially important in the mountains
of Yunnan and elsewhere in westernChina, which today experience
unprecedented development pressures. Many people are aware of the
great changes that have taken place in eastern China during the
past several decades. Western China is poised to see a similar
transformation. Understanding the human-nature interrelationships
of the past can help ensure that we manage these resources to
maintain the biological integrity of the land and provide benefits
to all people of China.
