About this title

Review:

The EcoTravel Guide features this book in their online magazine, March 2014. "Crucially, this book brings to light a number of regional challenges, such as the proposed Siachen Peace Park between India and Pakistan in the mountains of northern Kashmir in the western Himalayas, which lies in an area of disputed territory and often hostile climatic conditions. Such parks have a major role to play in fostering international collaboration and improving cross-border political relations."
