The Kailash Sacred Landscape Conservation Initiative (KSLCI) aims to initiate and promote transboundary biodiversity and cultural conservation, ecosystem management, sustainable development, and climate change adaptation within the Kailash Sacred Landscape (KSL). This landscape covers remote southwestern portions of the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) of China, and contiguous areas of northwestern Nepal and India. It is the source of four of Asia’s most
important rivers, the Brahmaputra, Indus, Karnali, and Sutlej. At the heart of this landscape lies the sacred Mount Kailash, revered by hundreds of millions of people in Asia and throughout the world.
