Better conservation decisions begin with better information.”
Here, Dr. Yash Veer Bhatnagar, Country Representative – India at the International Union for Conservation of Nature, highlights how the Mountains to Mangroves Atlas can support smarter conservation planning.
From identifying habitats for species like the red panda to understanding how freshwater flows and silt loads affect mangrove ecosystems, the Atlas brings together critical layers of data that can guide restoration and biodiversity protection.
When combined with strong field research, this kind of information can help address complex challenges, from species conservation to human–wildlife conflict, with greater clarity.
