Mountain-specific program development:
Mountains are the places where dramatic changes in altitude, climate, soil,l, and vegetation take place over a very short distance. It lies above 2500 masl.
Reason for specific program development
• Mountains support about one-quarter of the planet’s biodiversity and have nearly half of the world’s biodiversity hotspots (Singh, 2011).
• Providing habitat for unique species and Indigenous peoples of distinct cultures
• Mountain systems provide niche habitats for many rare and/or endangered endemic species these include the blue sheep, snow leopard, ibex, musk deer of the Central Himalaya, red shee birds, and fish found nowhere .
