We are obliged to postpone the Conference on Communities, Ecology and Exchanges in the Himalayas to an indefinite date. Earlier we postponed the conference to October 28-30, 2020 due to the global pandemic outbreak. Since there is a surge in the Covid-19 cases around the world, it is prudent to consider the health and safety of the speakers, and decided to indefinitely postpone the conference. However, we are committed in engaging on the Himalayan studies virtually.
