The GRAZIER project, implemented under The Himalaya Initiative’s AMP Himalaya (Action for Mountains and Peoples Himalaya, Khangchendzonga Landscape), is dedicated to supporting vulnerable pastoralist communities in Ladakh, with a special focus on women and youth, to foster sustainable development guided by diverse local priorities. 

By gathering and integrating diverse knowledge, promoting innovation and experimentation and supporting mechanisms for sharing learnings and un-learnings, the initiative aspires to encourage dynamic and adaptive perspectives on pastoralism and its relationship with rangeland health and biodiversity. It is a collaborative project between ATREE, Achi Association India, the French National Institute of Sustainable Development (IRD) and the University of Massachusetts Amherst, implemented as part of the Forest, Governance and Livelihoods Programme under CED.
