The primary objective of the Centre is to help
promote the development of an economically and environmentally sound
mountain ecosystem and to improve the living standards of mountain
populations, especially in the
Hindu-Kush-Himalaya Region. In pursuing its
mandate, ICIMOD works mainly at the interface between research and
development and acts as a facilitator for generating new mountain-specific
knowledge of relevance to mountain development. At the same time, ICIMOD
attempts to ensure that new knowledge is shared among all relevant
institutions, organisations, and individuals in the region.
ICIMOD has
been successful in networking with many
partners: it has
motivated local institutions to deal with mountain problems and to
incorporate the mountain perspective which is ICIMOD's trademark. |

Resources Himalaya
is a self governing, independent not-for-profit organization concerned
with the conservation of the Himalayas.
Established in
1985, initially it was “Resources Nepal” which had a purpose to
disseminate information from on-going wildlife research activities. By
1998, its collaborative work area had widened into Bhutan, Arunachal
Pradesh, Sikkim and Darjeeling. Resources Himalaya now, operates as an
independent think-tank where research workers, conservationists and
resource planners collaboratively work together. |

CEE Himalaya is a new
initiative of Centre for Environment Education (a
national institution established in 1984, supported by the
Ministry of
Environment and Forests, Government of India and associated with the Nehru
Foundation for Development) focused on mountain
ecosystems. "Himalaya Initiative" will strengthen CEE's ongoing
environmental education interventions in the Himalayan region, initiate new
programmes based on the local needs and create awareness and support for
sustainable development in the Himalaya.
The primary objective of the
Himalaya Initiative is to facilitate efforts towards improving the quality
of environment and the quality of life in the Himalayan region, through
education and communication. Initially the effort will reach out to
Indian
Himalayan Region (IHR) and, later on, to other parts of Himalaya in the
neighboring countries. It promotes a
better understanding of mountain environment and advocates for the due
importance and recognition mountain areas should get for extending valuable
ecological services, being fragile, and important for the global ecosystem
functioning. It identifies and popularizes appropriate technologies in order
to stop ecosystem degradation. It respects and recognizes the value of
traditional indigenous knowledge and builds upon it with the inputs of
modern science and technology. It establishes links amongst mountain
communities using information and communication technologies for increased
sharing of information, knowledge and resources. |
