Community participation has been a key focus, fostering local stewardship, sustainable resource use, and replicating restoration practices on private lands. The site is also a knowledge dissemination hub for school students, teachers, and the local community. To date, we have conducted about 62 conservation education workshops, engaging over 5331 stakeholders and students, and building their capacity on restoration and diverse conservation issues in the Himalaya. The ‘Surya-Kunj’ model demonstrates that integrating ecological principles with community involvement can yield a self-sustaining, biodiversity-rich site, offering a replicable framework for Himalayan landscape restoration.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fcosc.2025.1615630 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fcosc.2025.1615630 <![CDATA[An approach to ecological balance and indigenous knowledge of Alternanthera philoxeroides (Mart.)
