The Indian Himalayan region (IHR) represents a very significant part of the Indian sub-continent as it supports unique landscape elements, species, populations, communities, and ecosystems along with the rich ethnic diversity. The unique uniqueness and representativeness of biodiversity in the Himalaya has attracted the attention of people from all over the globe. The IHR also forms the large part of globally recognized Himalayan biodiversity hotspot. However, the regions is identified amongst the most climate change sensitive ecosystem, and the naturalness of this unique ecosystem is severely threatened due to ever increasing human onslaught. Realizing the challenges and emerging responsibilities of conservation of Himalayan natural resources, a number of initiatives are taking place globally and nationally. In this regard, among others, National Mission on Himalayan Studies (NMHS) has been launched by Govt. of India. This mission envisages establishing the state-of-art Him-Nature Learning Centre (NLC) in all Himalayan states. This centre would promote the outreach and enable to produce reliable and authentic information and knowledge products, which could subsequently feed into the provincial, national and international policies.
