| Abstract | This document gives a brief background on the greater Mt. Everest region and the history of joint activities between Nepal and the Tibet Autonomous Region (China) related to this area. Several villages in the area are also described, together with the aspirations of the villagers. The document discusses the situation and progress made on four key transboundary issues: (1) illegal poaching and trade in endangered species; (2) cross- border spread of forest fires; (3) cross-border spread of livestock disease; and (4) improving local livelihoods. Problems and possible solutions are then discussed. |
