Maintaining the health of biodiversity and ecosystem services is becoming an increasingly important concern for the global community. The biodiversity-rich Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region provides a myriad of ecosystem services but is experiencing rapid biodiversity loss and habitat degradation under the influence of climate change and other drivers of change. Biodiversity and ecosystem services often transcend geopolitical boundaries, and biodiversity management requires efforts that span larger landscapes. Globally, a landscape approach to management is recognized for its ability to reconcile objectives of biodiversity conservation and sustainable development. In order to institutionalize the landscape approach to enhance ecological integrity and sociocultural resilience in the region, the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development, with its partners in 8 countries, pioneered transboundary landscape (TBL) conservation and development initiatives between 2007 and 2019. This article reviews processes, outputs, and outcomes of the 4 TBLs designated and operationalized in the HKH region and distills key learning from an in-depth external evaluation of the Kailash Sacred Landscape initiative. The article draws the inference that transboundary cooperation as a collaborative process is both dynamic and evolutionary. Evidence, collaborations, inclusive partnerships, ownership, cross-border learning, joint policy influencing, and systemic thinking are key ingredients for any transboundary cooperation. TBLs have the potential to galvanize regional cooperation processes that help individual countries collectively address biodiversity conservation and development-related milestones, targets, and impacts.

印度兴都库什喜马拉雅山地区的生物多样性保护和管理:跨界景观是否有前途?

维护生物多样性和生态系统服务的健康正在成为国际社会日益关注的重要问题。拥有丰富生物多样性的兴都库什喜马拉雅山(HKH)地区提供了无数的生态系统服务,但在气候变化和其他变化驱动因素的影响下,生物多样性迅速丧失,栖息地退化。生物多样性和生态系统服务通常超越地缘政治界限,而生物多样性管理需要跨越更大景观的努力。在全球范围内,景观管理方法具有协调生物多样性保护和可持续发展目标的能力。为了使景观方法制度化,以增强该地区的生态完整性和社会文化适应力,国际山区综合开发中心及其在8个国家/地区的合作伙伴在2007年至2019年之间率先提出了跨界景观保护和开发计划。本文回顾了在HKH地区指定和实施的4个TBL的过程,输出和成果并从对卡拉什圣地景观计划的深入外部评估中汲取了重要的学习经验。本文推断出跨界合作作为一个协作过程既是动态的又是进化的。证据,合作,包容性伙伴关系,所有权,跨境学习,联合政策影响和系统思考是任何跨界合作的关键要素。
