What HMNDP stands for, and what this domain was before
The HMNDP acronym originally referred to the High-level Meeting on National Drought Policy, a 2013 United Nations conference convened jointly by the FAO, WMO, and UNCCD. The hmndp.org domain hosted the conference website at that time. We acquired the lapsed domain and restored the legitimate 2013 conference content at its original URLs as a public archive, distinct from our editorial product.
The conference archive lives at /node/233/, /node/308/, /node/332/, and other original Drupal-era URLs. The archive is preserved for academic and reference purposes. HMNDP Landscaping is not affiliated with the United Nations, FAO, WMO, UNCCD, or any of the original HMNDP conference organizers.
