Himalayan Environment and Life Protection (H.E.L.P.) is a not-for-profit organization working to protect the environment and to mitigate and adapt to climate change in the Himalayas.
We support communities and individuals to flourish, working toward reducing all forms of life's suffering and increasing welfare. In 2023, our team under Tergar Charity Nepal was awarded UNDP's prestigious Equator Prize.
More about us →What we do
Our work spans the ecosystem and the people who depend on it — because in the Himalayas, the two cannot be separated.
Restoring forests, watersheds, and fragile alpine ecosystems that sustain millions downstream.
Helping mountain communities anticipate, absorb, and recover from a rapidly changing climate.
Reducing suffering and increasing welfare through livelihoods, education, and local leadership.
Safeguarding the wildlife and habitats that make the Himalayas one of Earth’s great living systems.
