ECOLOGICAL HERITAGE<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n
Himalayas are Sacred, Divine & Lifeline Crown of the world. An intrinsic part of\u00a0 our \u2019Crowned Glory\u2019 are Mountain people,\u00a0 as off-shoots of diverse Himalayan Ecosystems. Nature and mountain people are interdependent as ecosystems, and live in sync in a symbiotic relationship.<\/b> Himalayan Ecosystems include both living things (plants, animals and organisms) and non-living elements of the environment (weather, water, soil, climate, atmosphere, etc.) interacting reciprocally. We often define living things as the biotic part of ecosystems, while the nonliving part is called the abiotic one.\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n
From this approach evolves the concept of Ecosystem Services; to respect Natural Resources as services by Nature contributing to human welfare being (spiritual & physical) & basic necessities (goods, materials), from the point of view of conservation of ecosystems & environment stewardship , ecological equity, harmony & co-existence.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n
\u00a0<\/span>In this context, Ecosystem Services & Environment, is a program to bring together HUM Partners for the following objectives;<\/span><\/h6>\n
