Pastoral mobility is not random: Debunking some common misconceptions from the Hindu Kush Himalaya
Pastoralism is a perfect example of adaptation to highly variable environments. In the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH), mountain transhumance or agropastoralism is not only a way of life and a source of livelihood but also plays an important role in shaping and maintaining landscapes and biodiversity, particularly in high elevation areas.
The untapped potential of the yak economy
The yak economy is not a relic of the past; it could be the future we've been overlooking. At a remote location in Dolpa District, north-western Nepal, yak herders churn butter from fresh milk by hand, using age-old techniques passed down through generations.
Bhutan explores controlled burning of mountainsides
Wildfires have raged across the mountains of the Hindu Kush Himalaya this year. The Indian state of Uttarakhand lost over 1,500 hectares of forest while Nepal saw hundreds of forest fires in March and over a thousand in April. As frightening and destructive as these fires have been, for over 10,000 years, everywhere from the Central Appalachians and California forests in North America to Australia, local communities have also used fire to manage their forests and rangelands.

Record low snowfall sounds alarm for water security in the Hindu Kush Himalaya
Mountain peaks in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region – usually capped in a white blanket of snow in the winter – remain noticeably bare this year, particularly in the western Himalayas. This winter has been very unusual, with little or no snowfall throughout the region. Farmers are understandably concerned, as low snowfall has a direct and severe impact on agriculture. This is particularly acute for the HKH region which is heavily dependent on agriculture.
