Consultations

Consultation with some Tibetan people

• environmental concerns
• land acquisition and resettlement issues
• concerns of ethnic minorities
• economic development potential in both the direct and indirect project areas

More than 55 village surveys and 680 household surveys have been carried out to gather public opinion about the proposed railway, environmental and social assessments, and plan resettlement.

Public opinion surveys have also been conducted with local residents, tourists, and other stakeholders, along with the Environmental Impact Assessment Consultation Workshops held in Dali and Lijiang.

During project implementation, participation of local people will be encouraged to improve the distribution of benefits accruing to them. Activities where people can participate include:
