Mountain Development ICIMOD
The International Centre for Inte-
grated Mountain Development (ICIMOD)
in Kathmandu, Nepal, has been an im-
portant stakeholder and partner organi-
zation for ICRTS since its inception. It
has done a series of studies on the
promotion of seabuckthorn development
in the Hindu Kush-Himalayas. This in-
cludes the production of documents,
video films, exhibitions, and seminars.
ICIMOD's activities have impressed de-
cision-makers and planners in numer-
ous countries. ICRTS is keen to con-
tinue co-operation and exchange with
ICIMOD and to utilize ICIMOD's global
mandate for mountain development to
further impress upon its clients the im-
portance of seabuckthorn for this eco-
system. In a new development, ICIMOD
has agreed to our proposition and ex-
pressed its intention to join ICRTS as a
member. It is hoped that this new, more
formalized framework for co-operation
will open up new roads for more and
intensified efforts in seabuckthorn re-
search and development.
