Phil Borges

For more than three decades, Phil Borges has created memorable portraits of people in indigenous and tribal cultures. His mission is to heighten awareness of the issues faced by those in the developing world. Borges has had a particularly close and long-standing relationship with the country of Tibet, and his latest book, Tibet: Culture on the Edge, reflects his respect for both the country and its people. This work accurately captures the two great challenges that Tibet and its people face today: Chinese eradication of their way of life and climate change.
