The Indian Himalaya continues to face increasing anthropogenic stressors despite numerous conservation actions. Further, climate change has the potential to negatively affect this biodiversity rich region. To counteract the changing climatic variables, targeted education programmes could act as a strategy and assist in protecting the floral/faunal species requiring urgent intervention, and benefit communities and ecosystems at large.
