In a brief review of Tibet Wild, Nature writes, "After 50 years of research on endangered species, field biologist George Schaller is still swimming against the tide of change in the wild. This highly personal compilation, part memoir and part research record, celebrates that 'raw terrain where lakes are the colour of molten turquoise'--the Tibetan Plateau, particularly the northern plain of the Chang Tang. Woven into vivid accounts of tracking mammals such as snow leopards and chiru, or Tibetan antelope, are Schaller's tracings of the impacts of climate change and population growth on one of the last animal strongholds."
