The SECURE Himalaya Project



SECURE Himalaya
The project aims to augment Government of India’s efforts for conservation of the snow leopard and its habitat by developing and implementing a landscape-based approach for high-altitude Himalayan ecosystems, and address key issues of habitat degradation, threatened livelihoods and illegal trade in wildlife. Significantly, the project draws upon and strengthens the MoEF&CC’s landscape based conservation approach, the Project Snow Leopard (PSL).
It also contributes to the Global Snow Leopard Ecosystem Protection
Program (GSLEP), a joint initiative of 12 range country governments,
international agencies, civil society, and the private sector.
