Mapping the Future of the Indian Himalayas
Mountains, Minds & Missions
The Himalayan Conclave 2025, held in Almora from November 13 to 15, has brought together leading scientists, policymakers, and academicians to chart a sustainable roadmap for the Indian Himalayan Region (IHR). At its core is the vision of “Indian Himalayan Region-2047,” aiming to balance ecological conservation, scientific development, and socio-economic growth. Key themes emerging from the conclave include mountain agriculture using scientific techniques, community-driven ecotourism, and green technology adoption.
Through this infographic, you can visualize how conservation and development are being linked in the Himalayas: projected climate risk zones, proposed scientific institutions, local livelihood models (like eco-tourism), and timelines for policy implementations. It’s a powerful visual story about how science-led governance can protect fragile mountain ecosystems while uplifting local communities.
