A forest fire is raging in eastern Tibet with no sign of abating after almost a month.
Some Chinese illegal hunters were held responsible for igniting the forest fire in Markham in eastern Tibet. The wild fire has caused irreparable environmental damage, and has now spread to neighboring counties, Gonjon, Dragyab, and Chamdo County.
