Climate change means more than just change in temperatures. In The Eastern Himalayas it impacts all aspects of the life. The Eastern Himalayas, is a fragile ecosystems whose poor and marginalized people and the variety of sensitive ecosystems and species face the most prevailing challenge towards adapting to a changing climate. Unpredictable rainfall, changing the character of the seasons, and an increasing likelihood or severity of extreme events such as flood and dry spells, is set to throw the lives of millions of people into a self consuming vortex of poverty and destruction of natural resources. This challenge could be met through a process of conservation action with a wider vision of pulling together traditional knowledge, contemporary approaches and new policy innovations at a regional scale.
