Managing Ecosystem Services for Enhancing Climate Change Adaptation in the Hindu Kush Himalayas - Impact of Global Changes on Mountains: Responses and Adaptation - page 223

livelihoods have been clearly realized and the functional responses of
existing protected areas to climate change and the effectiveness of protected
area through policy analysis considering the contemporary challenges from
climatic change and provision for adaptation and coping strategies were
felt necessary.
