Our Model
SHIBH is designed as one connected system — where science creates value, circularity retains it, conservation protects the resource base, and communities share in what is created.
The Integrated Model
Medicinal plants and underutilized biomass from the Solukhumbu landscape.
Consent-based, conservation-aware collection and cultivation.
Botanical and, in future, genomic verification of species and material.
Research-scale extraction and analytical characterization.
Standardized extracts alongside biomass feedstock for circular use.
Natural products, plus biochar and soil amendments from biomass.
Restoration that strengthens the resource base itself.
Value and knowledge retained close to origin.
The Thesis in Four Lines
creates value — through authentication, characterization, and standardization.
retains value — by turning residues and biomass into useful materials.
protects the resource base — the biodiversity everything depends on.
participates in value created — through income and scientific capacity.
