In areas where we need support, we work with other bird conservation organizations in the region.

Mammals

a The Himalayan region is well known for the varieties of mammals. While some are well known eg Tiger and Rhino then there are many which are very little known. There is much to be done in the field of mammals that are less known. Well known and well protected mammals also continue to decline and new conservation situations are emerging.

Climate Change
Climate change is emerging as the biggest threat to human and wildlife communities...
Biodiversity Conservation
Himalayan biodiversity is irreplaceable. The contribution of the World's major conservation organizations...
Education & Appreciation
Conservation outside protected areas can be achieved only when communities understand and take responsibility for conservation programs ...
Community Welfare
Conservation of nature can be achieved more easily in an aware and well-to-do community than an aware but impoverished community.
Restoration Program
Species and ecosystems are best in their natural forms...
