Ethnobotanical Uses of Plants among the Bhotiya Tribal Communities of Niti Valley in Central Himalaya, India
A study of the medicinal plants and knowledge of diseases was conducted in Bhotiya tribal communities in the Niti valley of Alaknanda catchment in Central Himalaya. Indigenous knowledge of local traditional healers about plants used for medicinal purposes was collected through questionnaire and interviews. Eighty-six plant species were identified as being used for treatment of 37 common ailments. The methods and application of uses of these plant…

Patterns and Implications of Land Use/Cover Change
Land use/cover changes during the period 1963–1993 and their ecological and socioeconomic implications in Pranmati Watershed in the Indian Himalaya were analyzed on the basis of information extracted from archival records, satellite data, participatory discussions, and field measurement. Agricultural land use was practiced on 14.2% of the watershed area in 1963 compared with 18.5% in 1993. More than 50% of the agricultural expansion occurred in c…

Promoting ecotourism in the buffer zone areas of Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve
The fascination for mountains, breathtaking natural beauty, rich cultural diversity, socioeconomic traditions, history and lifestyles attract mountaineers, trekkers, naturalists ascetics, explorers and cultural tourists from all over the world to the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve (NDBR) and adjoining areas. Expedition/mountaineering and tourism, as a livelihood option for the people living in the buffer zone areas of NDBR, was important, next to a…

Rehabilitation of degraded community lands for sustainable development in Himalaya
An approach to the rehabilitation of degraded community lands built on people's perceptions and traditional knowledge was developed, implemented on a small scale (6 ha plot), and evaluated in terms of economic and ecological costs and benefits over a period of 5 years in a mid-altitude (1200 m) village of Garhwal Himalaya. Rehabilitation comprised establishment of water harvesting tanks, organic management of soil, agroforestry (native multipurpo…
Soil erosion due to settled upland farming in the Himalaya
A common concept is that upland agriculture undertaken by local communities is a major factor causing large-scale soil erosion and other environmental problems in the Himalaya. Attempts to measure soil loss from farm fields are limited. This study was undertaken to measure the rate of soil loss from fields sown with crops during the rainy season and to examine the factors determining the erosion rates in the Pranmati watershed which is characteri…
Traditional crop diversity for sustainable development of Central Himalayan agroecosystems
A rich diversity of traditional crops occurs generally in the Himalaya and more particularly in Central Himalaya. Over forty species of food grains are grown in traditional agroecosystems of Central Himalaya, which have been managed by the local farming communities since time immemorial. These traditional crop varieties have evolved over centuries and are well adapted to the particular area. A number of edaphic, topographic and climatic factors a…
Minor forest products' management
Problems and prospects of minor forest resource uses and management in three remote high elevation villages in the Indian Central Himalaya were studied. Of the 45 species constituting the minor forest product resource base, medicinal plants (14 species), wild edibles (ten species) and bamboos (four species) were important both for local use and for the rural economy. A range of tree species had fodder and organic manure value. The management prac…
