Biodiversity and ecosystem services are central to sustaining life on Earth. They play an important role in achieving the three dimensionsof sustainable development - Economic, Social and Environmental. In fact, biodiversity conservation and sustainable development aretwo inter-related branches focusing on social progress, economic growth and environmental protection on one side, and ecosystemconservation on the other. Importantly, biodiversity conservation in developing countries has its own set of challenges. Not only are therenatural issues, such as climate change and climate variability effects, but many local communities rely on the natural resources theyharvest and hunt in these areas. In these situations, it is especially important to ensure the management plans and technologies areconsiderate of community needs and capacities, and are endorsed by the affected communities.IIPMB in collaboration with Gol-GEF-UNDP India High Range Mountain Landscape Project is attempting to preserve, conserve andmanage biodiversity by mainstreaming the same into the plans and practices of various production sectors in the unique High RangeMountain Landscape (HRML) of Southern Western Ghats, Kerala.
