In addition, recent controversies regarding the treatment of indigenous peoples in Xizang are already increasing risks for the Bank's new style forest sector investments, which have tended to focus on the poorest mountain populations, many of which include ethnic minorities. 2014-10-08T17:22:09Z 2014-10-08T17:22:09Z 2000 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2000/01/20153954/china-afforestation-poverty-alleviation-natural-forest-management 0-8213-4759-4 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/20394 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ Washington, DC: World Bank Publications & Research :: Publication East Asia and Pacific China
