Abstract
The Himalaya mountain range is predicted to experience negative impacts of climate change which will affect its unique biodiversity and the livelihoods of residents, including downstream residents. The chapter explores the trends of the region’s forests using a forest transition lens. Countries and regions of countries that constitute Himalaya have experienced forest transition, including in Himalaya territories. But how this is affecting forest conditions and forest ecosystem services provision is still debated. Recognizing forest transition, including in Himalaya may help to guide policies and interventions that aim to restore ecosystem functionality and ecosystem services. It can also help reduce or revert negative impacts of past and current trends on the wellbeing and livelihoods of Himalaya or extra Himalaya residents.
