Harmony in nature: Understanding the cultural and ecological aspects of plant use in Ladakh
Background Traditional knowledge (TK) in Ladakh encapsulates a repository of experimental wisdom cultivated over millennia. Despite this cultural wealth, dwindling interest among the younger generations in the region's age-old practices underscores the urgency to document TK. The current study investigates the diverse usage of plants in Surru, Wakha and Lower Indus valleys of Western Ladakh exploring the influence of socioeconomic and ecological …
Perception of medical health care practitioners and health care consumers towards traditional health care systems in western Ladakh, India
Background: This study focussed on the perception of Medical Health Care Professionals (MHCPs) and Local Health Care Consumers (LHCCs) on traditional health-care systems (THCS) and collaboration of both traditional and modern health-care system in western Ladakh, India. Methods: The study area was based on the distribution of three different socio-cultural groups in three valleys (Lower Indus, Suru and Wakha Chu) in western Ladakh. A detailed fie…
A hierarchy of landscape-habitat-plant physiognomic classes in the Indian Trans-Himalaya
Globally, a number of leading countries have adopted biogeographic based protected area planning to conserve their natural resources. India, a mega-diverse country also has conceded with a massive exercise to prepare a biogeography based conservation planning. Undoubtedly, initiating such conservation planning at national or regional level requires a holistic understanding about the landscapes and its habitat features for their long-term manageme…
Prevailing traditional health care services in Western Ladakh, Indian Trans-Himalaya
Background: There has been a spurt in revival of Traditional Health Care Services (THCS) in different parts of the world due to increasing awareness about their importance and the initiatives taken by the local governments. Ladakh, located in the Indian Trans-Himalaya represents an ethno-cultural landscape with well-established history of use of traditional medicines in healing of different ailments. However, several THCS so far remained informal…
Conservation linkages of threatened medicinal plants used in traditional health care system in Pin Valley National Park, Himachal Pradesh, India
Background: The Amchi system ‘Sowa-Rigpa’ served as the cornerstone of local healthcare system for many years, but now is on the verge of extinction. Therefore, to maintain the long-term survival of this system, it is necessary to document utilization of medicinal plants, treatments performed, status of plants, their habitats and factors influencing the decline of this system. Methods: A systematic field survey was performed from May 2019 to Janu…
River birds as potential indicators of local- and catchment-scale influences on Himalayan river ecosystems
Rivers are affected by changes in catchment land-use and other modifications to their channel, floodplains and riparian zones. Such changes can affect biodiversity downstream, and specialist river birds might indicate the effects across multiple scales and through different ecological pathways. The risks of catchment-scale effects on rivers are especially acute in the Himalayan mountains, where the world’s greatest diversity of river birds occupi…
