Ludar, who was born in the Dingri County at the foot of Mt. Qomolangma, has a special affection toward this world's highest mountain. When he was a little shepherd, he felt this holy mountain was something he would never ascend but still desperately wished one day he could. Today, not only did he reach the top of the mountain peak a total of nine times, but he has also become the preside nt of the Himalaya High-Mountain Environmental Conservation Foundation of the Tibet Autonomous Region. For him, the environmental conservation of Mt. Qomolangma is a means to protect his hometown and the land he relies upon to make his living.
