The Cold Desert Biosphere Reserve in Himachal Pradesh has been officially added to the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves, making it India’s 13th site in this prestigious global list. Located in the Western Himalayas and spanning over 7,770 sq. km across the Lahaul-Spiti region, this high-altitude cold desert is known for its rugged landscapes, rare alpine grasses, medicinal herbs, and unique flora like Willow-leaved sea-buckthorn, Himalayan birch, and Persian juniper. The reserve is home to endangered wildlife including the snow leopard, Himalayan ibex, and other high-altitude species. It also covers protected areas such as Pin Valley National Park and Kibber Wildlife Sanctuary, while supporting around 12,000 local residents. This recognition by UNESCO highlights the ecological significance of the Cold Desert Biosphere, its biodiversity, and its role in conserving Himalayan ecosystems.
