Abstract
The Hindu Kush–Karakoram–Himalayan (HKKH) Partnership Project involves implementation of various applied research and development activities that require integration of diverse data and information as well as interpretation of various forms of information and knowledge, such as system dynamics models, simulation results, historical databases, and technical reports. In order to bring these together and promote interdisciplinary collaboration, communication, and dissemination of information among concerned stakeholders and general public users, an Integrated Web Portal (IWP) with a customized Content Management System (CMS) was developed as part of the HKKH project. Several features that were incorporated as modules are discussed here.

The Hindu Kush–Karakoram– Himalayan (HKKH) Partnership Project aims to consolidate institutional capacity for systemic planning and management of protected area ecosystems over three national parks in the Hindu Kush–Karakoram–Himalayan region (Amatya et al 2010, in this issue)
The Integrated Web Portal (IWP) embeds a customized version of interactive online mapping of all project areas; Sagarmatha National Park and Buffer Zone (SNPBZ) in Nepal, Central Karakoram National Park (CKNP) in Pakistan, and Qomolongma National Nature Preserve (QNNP) can be accessed by clicking the respective links in the ‘‘Online Map’’ section of the IWP (Figure 3B)
