Our project in Indian-administered Kashmir impeded by the Indian government !

The Foundation Board is sad and appalled to communicate that a project approved in 2020 (described here) has been de facto impeded by the Indian government, which has instructed the relevant Bank to reject our financial deposit with no explicit reason. The local needs and willingness to act remain, but powerful forces seem to care little for biodiversity conservation and to resent community empowerment in Indian-administered Kashmir.
