Pastoral resilience under threat
Pastoralism is central to mountain livelihoods in the Kashmir Himalayas, historically sustained through transhumant mobility and a rich body of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK). This system is now threatened by three interacting pressures: climate change, the upward spread of invasive plant species, and the erosion of TEK. Rising temperatures, altered precipitation, and shifting snowmelt are reshaping pasture phenology, shortening migration…
Glacial and periglacial geomorphology of the Drang Drung, Haskira, and Pensilungpa glaciers, Trans-Himalayan Ladakh, India
Glacial geomorphological mapping is vital for understanding the role of glaciers in shaping landscapes, as well as glacier response to climate change. We present a glacial geomorphological map of the Drang Drung, Haskira, and Pensilungpa glaciers in Trans-Himalayan Ladakh, India. Mapping was conducted using a combination of high-resolution satellite imagery (Pléiades, SPOT, Planet) supplemented with Google Earth Pro and a 2 m resolution Pléiades …
Representations of an Ebola ‘outbreak’ through Story Technologies
Background Attempts to understand biosocial phenomena using scientific methods are often presented as value-neutral and objective; however, when used to reduce the complexity of open systems such as epidemics, these forms of inquiry necessarily entail normative considerations and are therefore fashioned by political worldviews (ideologies). From the standpoint of poststructural theory, the character of these representations is at most limited and…

Systematic review of wetland ecosystem services valuation in India
Contentious Reconstructions
The process of state failure, war, conflict resolution, and state reconfiguration in Sierra Leone between 1990 and 2002 was not a linear narrative but a complex, and sometimes indecipherable, script. Historical contingency and expediency were as important as the claims, ideas, plans, and policies of all of the different actors in the script. Over its duration, scholars provided varying interpretations of the Sierra Leone war that raised issues of…
Twenty Years Later
Twenty Years Later:Rethinking the Sierra Leonean Civil War and Beyond Ismail Rashid and Zubairu Wai In March 1991, war broke out in the West African state of Sierra Leone, and it quickly became one of the seemingly intractable African conflicts in the immediate post-Cold War era. The Revolutionary United Front (RUF), which initiated the war, claimed that it was a quest for national liberation, democratic empowerment, and the construction of an eg…
Decolonization and Popular Contestation in Sierra Leone
Between 1955 and 1956, peasants in the northern region of Sierra Leone, following the steps of workers in Freetown, launched an insurrection to protest colonial taxation and the exploitative practices of their paramount chiefs and local ruling elite. The insurrection, which started as a protest against the paramount chief of Port Loko, Alkali Modu, soon engulfed all of the districts in the northern region and parts of the southern region. Through…
Metabarcoding of root-associated ectomycorrhizal fungi of Himalayan pindrow fir through morphotyping and Next Generation Sequencing
Abies pindrow (Royle ex D.Don) Royle (Himalayan pindrow fir) is an imperative conifer native to Kashmir Himalaya, where its mono-dominant forests provide vital ecosystem services, besides being dwelling to endangered flora and fauna. However, in the past few decades, these forests have relentlessly undergone unprecedented deforestation and degradation, and consequently, biodiversity and biotic interactions are jeopardized in these ecosystems. Ect…
Human-driven disturbances change the vegetation characteristics of temperate forest stands
Globally, biodiversity-rich forest ecosystems are facing higher risk of climate and land-use changes. Therefore, understanding the role of anthropogenic factors in affecting forest community composition and vegetation patterns assume urgent research priority and are prerequisites for conservation and sustainable management of forest ecosystems. We used a systematic random sampling method to obtain data on floristic diversity within four forest co…

Mapping groundwater potential zones using remote sensing and GIS approach in Jammu Himalaya, Jammu and Kashmir
The Paradoxes of History and Memory in Post-Colonial Sierra Leone
This anthology reflects the complex processes in the production of historical knowledge and memory about Sierra Leone and its diaspora since the 1960s. The processes, while emblematic of experiences in other parts of Africa, contain their own distinctive features. The fragments of these memories are etched in the psyche, bodies, and practices of Africans in Africa and other global landscapes; and, on the other hand, are embedded in the various di…

Islamist militancy in Sierra Leone
This article examines the contemporary Islamic trends in post-conflict Sierra Leone (through 2009) against the background of international concerns that the country might become a haven for religiously-inspired violence. It argues that there is some evidence that prolonged economic impoverishment and foreign religious influences, especially from Saudi Arabia and Iran, have led to a reinvigoration of Islam in post-war Sierra Leone. Though this rei…
Epidemics and Resistance in Colonial Sierra Leone during the First World War
Regional and global disease epidemics, which followed in the wake of the First World War, became the crucial tipping point in the balance between resistance and accommodation that had been established between the British colonial administration and newly colonized people of the Sierra Leone Protectorate. From 1915 to 1919, a smallpox epidemic and the global influenza epidemic overwhelmed the inhabitants of the northern region of Sierra Leone, sev…
