Appeal for increasing
partnership
We
appeal to all the lovers of the Himalayas, the communities living
there, people living outside and those who believe in the urgency
of arresting the degradation of these sacred mountains. If the
vision for restoring the Himalayas to their pristine glory is
to turn to reality and the objectives envisaged in this report
realised, every-one must lend a hand by way of voluntary work,
or mobilisation of resources or both.
It
is vital that the Himalayas be preserved, not only for the present
and future generations of Indians but for mankind as a whole.
There
are innumerable projects and programmes which need your support.
All friends of the Himalayas interested in responding to the appeal
are requested to contact:
