Abstract Kishtwar High Altitude National Park (KHANP), located in the northwestern Himalaya of Jammu & Kashmir, India, is a repository of unique biodiversity and a critical habitat for several threatened species such as the Snow Leopard (Panthera uncia) , Himalayan Brown Bear (Ursus arctos isabellinus), Musk Deer (Moschus sp.) , Kashmir stag or Hangul (Cervus elaphus) and Markhor (Capra falconeri). Despite its ecological significance, KHANP faces multiple conservation challenges including anthropogenic pressures, habitat degradation, poaching, climate change, and weak institutional mechanisms. This paper presents an overview of biodiversity conservation challenges in KHANP and highlights adaptive management strategies aimed at reconciling conservation with community needs. Emphasis is laid on community participation, habitat management, policy reforms, research-based monitoring, and climate adaptation measures to ensure long-term ecological sustainability. By highlighting both the threats and the opportunities, this work aims to contribute to the growing body of literature on Himalayan conservation and to support policymakers, researchers, and practitioners in designing effective strategies for the long-term preservation of KHANP’s unique biodiversity.
