The promotion and preservation activities include built, cultural and natural heritage, art and crafts skills, folk traditions, community-based management of cultural and natural resources and language and literature. Another important aim is to encourage scientific research and documentation of the impact of climate change on these mountain cultures. This knowledge, we believe, will propel the development of sustainable solutions to mitigate its degradation. The HCHF programs are carried out in Ladakh and other regions of the Himalayas.
