Through his on-going FLOWERS FIT FOR A DALAI LAMA and FLOWERS FIT FOR A MAHARAJAH Plant Conservation Projects, Chris has been undertaking appraisals as to the effectiveness of government, NGO and local initiatives in the Himalaya. It is abundantly clear that a fresh approach is required to genuinely help save 'RARE and ENDANGERED' species and habitats. See Plant Conservation Projects Section.
