A Swirling Offering
Climate change impacts on social-ecological systems —such as useful plant harvest— can be elucidated through local perceptions and ecological monitoring. To better understand how these two approaches may show convergent or divergent perspectives on a shared system, we conducted semi-structured interviews on climate change impacts on useful plants in the alpine region of Central Bhutan, contextualized with results from ecological monitoring at the…
Medicinal plants and their use by an ethnic minority Jirel in Dolakha district, Central Nepal
Background: Plants are important source of traditional medicine and are used widely in the primary healthcare of indigenous peoples and local communities. Despite a considerable number of ethnobotanical studies in Nepal, there are still several regions to be explored and scientifically document the traditional uses of medicinal plants. This study was conducted in one of such areas in the Dolakha district of central Nepal with the indigenous Jirel…
Traditional socio-cultural utilization and harvesting practices of an alpine medicinal herb, Neopicrorhiza scrophulariiflora in Khumbu Valley, Nepal
Background: This study aimed to document the traditional knowledge of people in the Khumbu Valley within Sagarmatha National Park and Buffer Zone in Nepal regarding the utilization and harvesting practices of the Himalayan medicinal plant Neopicrorhiza scrophulariiflora, which is under threat due to over-harvesting. Methods: The study used focus group discussions and key informant interviews to gather ethnobotanical knowledge from residents of se…
Pushing Climate Change Science to the Roof of the World
Ethno-medicinal survey of plants used by Magar (Kham) community, Rolpa district, Western Nepal
Background: Medicinal plants (MP) are the primary source of health care in developing countries like Nepal. Specially, indigenous people depend on MP species for their basic livelihood. In this study, we aimed to document MP species and assess their indigenous use among Magar (Kham) community in Western Nepal.Methods: A list of MP species was prepared through empirical ethnobotanical study and their indigenous use was assessed using a set of ques…
Trade and Conservation of Nepalese Medicinal Plants, Fungi, and Lichen
Adapting in the Shadow of Annapurna
Rapid climate change in the Himalaya threatens the traditional livelihoods of remote mountain communities, challenges traditional systems of knowledge, and stresses existing socio-ecological systems. Through semi-structured interviews, participatory photography, and repeat photography focused on climate change and its impacts on traditional livelihoods, we aim to shed light on some of the socio-cultural implications of climate related change in M…
Nepalese traditional medicine and symptoms related to Parkinson׳s disease and other disorders
Himalayan Alpine Vegetation, Climate Change and Mitigation
The Himalaya are experiencing the most drastic global climate change outside of the poles, with predicted temperature increases of 5–6°C, rainfall increases of 20–30%, and rapid melting of permanent snows and glaciers. We have established a 1500 km trans-Himalayan transect across Nepal, Bhutan, and the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (TAP), China to document the effects of climate change on alpine plants and peoples. Data show that Himalayan alpine…
