The '''Himalayan Alpine Dynamics Research Initiative''' ('''HIMADRI''') involves a set of pristine sites set aside and [[biomonitoring|monitored]] to observe the migration of [[plant]] species due to [[climate change]].  "Established in 2013, the program has taken care of gap in Indian Himalaya monitoring.

==History==
The idea to monitor alpine plant communities was first discussed in 1996 during a [[workshop]] in [[Kathmandu]].  Scientists began running experiments in alpine habitats to determine what a good sample method might be.  In 2001, GLORIA-Europe was launched.  This initial project, with 18 sites in 13 different [[Europe]]an nations, was a way to test out the idea before going worldwide.  Since the spring of 2004, GLORIA has been expanding into other regions of the world. However, Indian Himalaya remained a gap which is being filled through HIMADRI network.
