Utilization of fuelwood species by the Bhangalis community of western Himalaya, India
Moving away from transhumance
Transhumance that involves seasonal migration of humans along with their livestock is a means of livelihood and resource management for the Gaddi community of the Himalaya. They have been following it for centuries but now the practice is fast declining. We, therefore, documented the current movement patterns of Gaddis’ and the associated emerging factors that are leading to a decline in transhumance. This was done through semi-structured questio…
Plant-derived utility products
Background Plant-derived utility products (PDPs) play an important role in sustaining humans, especially tribal communities. Despite this, knowledge on PDPs is declining. Methods The present study was therefore carried to document the PDPs used by Bhangalis, a tribal community of western Himalaya, through door-to-door surveys (n=420) and detailed questionnaire recordings (n=240). In addition to taxonomic richness, frequency of species used; use v…
Why they eat, what they eat
BACKGROUND: From time immemorial, wild plants have been used for edible purposes. They still continue to be a major source of nutrition for tribal people. However, unfortunately, their use is now declining. This has implications in food security, narrowing genetic base, and future leads. The present study was, therefore, carried out in Chhota Bhangal region of Western Himalaya to analyze uses of wild edible plants (WEP) and the motivations behind…
