Abstract

The project Vanishing Treasures aims at protecting mountain flagship species key to ecosystem functioning and improving the communication between climate research and biodiversity conservation practitioners to ensure that the conservation sector appropriately responds to recommendations for adaptive action.
Target species and areas of the project are the mountain gorilla in the Virunga Mountains (Uganda, Rwanda), the snow leopard in the Central Asian Mountains (Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan) and the royal bengal tiger in Hindu-Kush Himalayas (Bhutan).
Within the project BOKU-Met will develope an ensemble of bias-corrected, high-resolution regional climate change scenarios for the target areas in Hindu-Kush Himalayas (Bhutan).
