The Himalayas have long been standing as our guardians. Not only are they majestically beautiful but they are also home to over 10,000 varieties of flora, over 900 different species of birds and more than 300 species of mammals. It is nothing short of a paradise for biodiversity. Not only this many remote settlements are dependent on the Himalayas for their livelihood. Did you know that the Himalayas are also considered the ‘Water Tower of Asia’? Yes, the Himalayas contribute to many of the major river systems in the continent providing water to millions and millions of people downstream. Beyond ecological importance, the Himalayas also hold both spiritual and cultural significance for many, which means the ecological well-being of the mountains is directly connected with upholding traditional and cultural values.
Over the years, footfall in the Himalayan region has increased significantly. While tourism in these regions supports the local communities, it also poses numerous threats to the delicate ecological balance. People visit the mountains to get a respite from their monotonous living but oftentimes leave behind a trail of trash behind them, especially plastic trash. Accumulation of such garbage in the mountains poses a serious threat to the mountain ecosystem. As a way of moving forward, we have launched the ‘Heal Himala’ campaign. The goal of this campaign is to free the mountain of disposed trash and bring back its pristinity.
About Heal Himala Campaign
Mountains are not just a source of our livelihood but it is also something that we worship with all our hearts. Degradation of the mountain ecosystem is something that we take very seriously. Our ‘Heal Himala’ initiative is a commitment to protect and preserve the delicate balance of this unique mountain ecosystem, ensuring that future generations can revel in the same breathtaking landscapes and experience the wonders of its rich biodiversity. This campaign is driven by a deep sense of responsibility towards the environment and we want you to be a part of this as well. Whether you visit the mountains regularly or are an occasional visitor, your connection with it makes you an integral part of its ecosystem as well. Recognizing that the Himalayas belong to all and none simultaneously, "Heal Himala" encourages everyone to become stewards of environmental preservation. We invite everyone to embrace their role in ensuring the Himalayas remain a sanctuary for its diverse flora & fauna, its communities and future generations of adventure seekers.
