Solutions by WWF
WWF recognised the urgent need to protect these fragile and unique high altitude wetlands in the Himalayas, and has been striving for the sustainable management of these wetlands through policy-formulation for better management practices, monitoring climate impacts, reducing the impacts of tourism and other anthropogenic activities and furthering demonstrations of community-based wetland management practices.
