Objective: The objective of the US$ 72M “Securing Livelihoods, Conservation, Sustainable Use and Restoration of High Range Himalayan Ecosystems (SECURE) Himalayas” project is to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems in the Himalayas, particularly in the transboundary Kailash Sacred Landscape region and in the states of Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Sikkim. The project aims to achieve this through the implementation of a range of interventions, including community-based conservation and livelihood initiatives, promotion of sustainable tourism, improved natural resource management practices, and the development of a regional knowledge-sharing network. The project also seeks to promote regional cooperation and collaboration among the countries and communities in the Kailash Sacred Landscape.
