Project details

Project title: Transboundary Biodiversity Management in Kangchenjunga Landscape
Personnel: Nakul Chettri
Funding: The MacArthur Foundation
Study area descriptions/descriptor: The Kangchenjunga Landscape encompasses the southern stretch of landscape surrounding Mt Kangchenjunga (8,586m), which spreads over diverse ecological zones in eastern Nepal, Darjeeling and Sikkim in India, and western Bhutan. On the northern side, a small part of the northern slope extends into the Tibet Autonomous Region of China.

Spatial coverage

General spatial coverage: The Neora Valley National Park is bordered in the east by west Bhutan and comprises of a relatively inaccessible patch of late successional forest that includes subtropical mixed broadleaf forest, lower temperate evergreen forest, upper temperate mixed broadleaf forest and Rhododendron forest. Human pressure within the national park is limited, however adjacent areas support plantation of tea and Cinchona (a tree used to produce quinine). It is the least explored protected areas in the region and is believed to have the richest biodiversity.
