Program Goals and Objectives The goals of the Asia High Mountains Project are to galvanize greater understanding and action at local, national, and regional levels across the snow leopard range states to conserve this iconic and endangered species, and to connect snow leopard conservation to a broader set of environmental, economic, and social issues with consequences for Asia’s future sustainable development, namely local livelihoods, water and food security, and climate change adaptation. Short term objectives under this project include enhancing community participation in conservation, improving local natural resource management, conserving the snow leopard and its habitat in priority sites, improving enforcement of wildlife trade laws in snow leopard range areas, and facilitating discussions on snow leopard conservation and climate change among the range countries. Primary long term objectives under this project are to increase the resiliency of communities in snow leopard range areas to climate change impacts and to launch an alliance for protection of Asia’s high mountain landscapes. The approach to achieving Asia High Mountains Project objectives is five-part and involves striving to 1) strengthen capacity of local natural resource management organizations, 2) increase community and ecosystem resiliency to climate change impacts, 3) enhance community engagement in conservation, 4) conserve the snow leopard and its habitat in priority demonstration sites in AHM Project countries and 5) provide support for the 12- nation GSLEP Program. Mid-way through AHM Project Year 5, excellent progress has been made in all five areas. Specific AHM Project objectives are as follows: Objective 1: Promote climate-smart management of snow leopard habitat for sustainable development in Asia’s high mountain landscapes and communities Sub-objective 1.1: Strengthen local natural resource institution’s governance and capacity. Sub-objective 1.2: Increase community resiliency to climate change impacts. Sub-objective 1.3: Enhance community engagement in conservation. Sub-objective 1.4: Conserve the snow leopard and its habitat in priority sites. Objective 2: Improve transnational collaboration on climate-smart snow leopard conservation in Asia’s high mountain landscapes and communities 4 Sub-objective 2.1: Building cooperation through the Climate Summit for a Living Himalayas and its regional “Framework of Cooperation” for protection of Asia’s high mountain landscapes and snow leopard conservation. Sub-objective 2.2: Facilitate discussions on climate change and snow leopard conservation among the range countries. Sub-objective 2.3: Update range-wide information on snow leopard trafficking and provide trafficking information to enforcement efforts at the national and regional network levels. Sub-objective 2.4: Building momentum through a range-wide network for snow leopard conservation. Sub-objective 2.5: Support implementation of the Global Snow Leopard and Ecosystem Protection Program (GSLEP). 2. Project Highlights October 1, 2016-March 31, 2017 During this reporting period, good progress continued to be made toward achieving WWF Asia High Mountains (AHM) Project and Global Snow Leopard and Ecosystem Protection Program (GSLEP) goals and objectives. Some AHM Project highlights for this reporting period include: • In Bhutan, 30 staff members (3 Women) of Wangchuck Centennial National Park (WCNP) were trained on SMART (Spatial Monitoring And Reporting Tools) Patrolling techniques for protected areas and development and management of a SMART Patrol database for WCNP. Through this process, it is anticipated that efforts to combat wildlife crime and other illegal activities in WCNP will be enhanced. • In India, WWF completed the last three in a series of six snow leopard sign, camera trap, and prey species surveys conducted in North Sikkim between August and December 2016. These three surveys were conducted from September 30- December 10, 2016 along fixed transects and counted 85 Tibetan argali and 70 blue sheep while camera trapping seven snow leopard individuals. • In the Kyrgyz Republic, WWF completed a draft integrated watershed management plan for the Chon Kyzyl Suu River basin. The plan sets forth a list of action for improving land use practices in the basin, particularly with respect to improving water quality. These include recommendations calling for improved management of pastures, forests, and agricultural lands in the basin. 5 • In Mongolia, WWF scaled up its successful AHM Year 4 wildlife trap collection campaign at Jargalant Khairkhan Mountain in Khovd Aimag (Province) to a province- wide campaign in Khovd. This involved training 58 rangers and volunteers to participate in this campaign, who then traveled by horse back in remote mountain areas of their home regions and collected 438 steel jaw traps set by locals to catch marmots and other wildlife, greatly reducing the large threat from traps to endangered snow leopards and other wild animals in Khovd. • In Nepal, WWF and government partners made great progress in completing a draft climate-smart snow leopard landscape management plan for the Eastern Nepal Global Snow Leopard and Ecosystem Protection Program (GSLEP) priority landscape, which stretches from Kangchenjunga in the east to Langtang National Park north of Kathmandu. During this reporting period an initial draft plan was completed and presented at two stakeholder workshops for comment. Feedback on the landscape management plan gathered at these workshops is currently being incorporated into the plan. It is anticipated that the plan and the process for developing it will serve as a model for replication by the other 11 GSLEP members states. • In Pakistan, as one climate adaptation action to mitigate climate change impacts and increase ecosystem resilience in the Laspur Valley, WWF and the Chitral Forest Department distributed 20,000 saplings of local varieties of multi-purpose trees to mark the International Day of Forests. These trees were planted over the following week by students and adults on 13 ha of degraded land in populated areas of Laspur. • In terms of regional activity highlights, the second Global Snow Leopard and Ecosystem Protection Program (GSLEP) steering committee and landscape planning meetings were held from January 17-20, 2017 in Kathmandu, which were attended by representatives of all 12 GSLEP member states. At this event, progress on development of climate-smart snow leopard landscape management plans for GSLEP priority landscapes were presented while the GSLEP steering committee unanimously endorsed plans for holding a GSLEP summit in Bishkek in August 2017 that will be hosted by the president of Kyrgyzstan.

  • Chapter 8 Sikkim
    Chapter 8 Sikkim AC Sinha Sikkim, an Indian State on the Eastern Himalayan ranges, is counted among states with Buddhist followers, which had strong cultural ties with the Tibetan region of the Peoples’ Republic of China. Because of its past feudal history, it was one of the three ‘States’ along with Nepal and Bhutan which were known as ‘the Himalayan Kingdoms’ till 1975, the year of its merger with the Indian Union. It is a small state with 2, 818 sq. m. (7, 096 sq. km.) between 27 deg. 4’ North to 28 deg 7’ North latitude between 80 deg. East 4’ and 88deg. 58’ East longitude. This 113 kilometre long and 64 kilometre wide undulating topography is located above 300 to 7,00 metres above sea level. Its known earliest settlers, the Lepchas, termed it as Neliang, the country of the caverns that gave them shelter. Bhotias, the Tibetan migrants, called it lho’mon, ‘the land of the southern (Himalayan) slop’. As rice plays important part in Buddhist rituals in Tibet, which they used to procure from India, they began calling it ‘Denjong’ (the valley of rice). Folk traditions inform us that it was also the land of mythical ‘Kiratas’ of Indian classics. The people of Kirati origin (Lepcha, Limbu, Rai and possibly Magar) used to marry among themselves in the hoary past. As the saying goes, a newly wedded Limbu bride on her arrival to her groom’s newly constructed house, exclaimed, “Su-khim” -- the new house. This word not only got currency, but also got anglicized into Sikkim (Basnet 1974).
