Asia Programs

TMI’s programs in Asia started in the mid-1980’s with the “Heart of the Himalaya” initiative for the establishment of two new mountain protected areas: the Makalu-Barun National Park in Nepal, and the Qomolangma (Mt. Everest) Nature Preserve in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, (Tibet). Both were founded on the principles of participatory design and management, and collaboration between park managers and local communities. These pioneering projects were some of the earliest demonstrations of community-based project design that has since become the basis for most of TMI’s programs.
