Local experiences and observations of climate change in the Dho-Tarap Valley of Upper Dolpa, Nepal
Highland Cattle Herding in East Nepal Himalaya
Caring for standing crops in the Himalayas
In the Himalayas, human beings have developed several behaviors and practices in the process of adaptation to the harsh environment. The theme of the paper is to explore the notion of care through the local practices of caring for standing crops. The paper is based on the more than nine-month-long ethnographic study in the Nhāson Valley of Nepal. The findings reveal that caring for standing crops is not just rooted in technical rationality impose…
Rain as a Singular Object with Multiple Ontologies among the Gurung in the Nhāson Valley
Rain, a droplet of water that comes from the sky, appears as a singular object with multiple ontologies among Gurung, an indigenous people of Nepal dwelling in the mountain region. This paper offers an ethnographic analysis of the relationships between society and the environment through the names of rains among the Gurung based on the nine months of fieldwork between 2012 and 2018. In the article, Gurung's nomenclature for rains strongly raises …
Farmers Reading Nature’s Clues to Figure Out Impending Weather
Traditional ways of reading nature’s clues to figure out impending weather are widely practiced in many rural societies in the world. They have been, however, often discounted by a western science-based meteorological forecasting system, although they are important sociocultural tools for mitigating climatic risks. This paper concerns two thematic issues: traditional knowledge about reading nature’s clues to figure out impending weather; and the …
Pond Becomes a Lake
Climate change is disturbing the existing functional relations between socio-ecological systems in the Himalayan region of Nepal. In this paper, I look at the disturbance posed by climate change to the social and ecological dimensions, referencing the Himalayan herders as eye-witnesses. I focus on two thematic areas, that is, the challenges faced by the mountain herders in the context of climate change and their coping strategies. This paper is a…
The rhythms of life in the Himalaya
The paper explores the linkage between ecological and social systems of the Gurung people in the Nhāson Valley of Nepal, accounting for the interconnectedness of social life and seasons. The main themes of the paper are the local people's understanding and experience of seasons, and the ways in which their social life moves according to those seasons. The paper is based on 9 months of ethnographic fieldwork undertaken from 2012 to 2018 in Nhāson,…
Herding in Crisis in the Himalaya
This paper focuses on the change and transformation of herding over the last seven decades to the Nhāson Valley of Manang based on an ethnographic study in 2018. The findings reveal that herding as a traditional source of living for the mountain dwellers, has gradually been transformed due to the linkage to wider political and economic processes, namely, the changes in open-border policy between China and Nepal, the intervention of state programs…
Eyewitness Accounts on Climate Variability and the Responses
People with different socio-cultural arrangements havedifferent experiences and responses to climatic variability. The place specific experiences and responses at community level still remain a little explored issue in the discourse of climate change research. This paper deals with local experiences of climatic variability which have been monitoring by locals in their lifetime, on the one hand, and, on the other, explore their responses or coping…
Cultural Understanding of Non-timber Forest Products among the Babuban Community People of Eastern Nepal
This paper presents a short analysis of human-nature relationship among the Bahuban community people of eastern Nepal based on the use of non-timber forest products (NTFPs1). The paper basically describes perceptions and understanding of different categories of people towards NTFPs based on symbolic meaning and use-value of these products in their lives. In addition, the paper also shortly discusses indigenous practices for NTFPs management in th…
