Rejuvenating ecosystem services through reclaiming degraded land for sustainable societal development: Implications for conservation and human wellbeing
Protected cultivation as an option of livelihood in mountain region of central Himalaya, India
Protected farming is an alternative new technique for seasonal and off-seasonal vegetable cultivation, particularly in high-altitude region, and can be successfully employed for niche areas of agriculture. Experimentation on vegetable crops under protected conditions was carried out to see the feasibility of their farming at different altitudes in the central Himalayan region. For evaluating the suitable conditions required for the cultivation of…
Ecological assessment and energy budget of fodder consumption in Govind Wildlife Sanctuary, India
This study was aimed at understanding the fodder utilization pattern, energy budget, and problems related to fodder biomass harvesting in six villages located along an altitudinal gradient (1200–3000 m.a.s.l.) in Govind Wildlife Sanctuary (GWS). Forests provided 68% of total fodder used compared to 32% from agriculture. The highest average fodder consumption was observed in the village Osla (38.8 ± 3.7 kg/household/day) in subalpine region and th…
Determination of Nutritional and Energy Value of Viburnum mullaha Buch.-Ham. Ex D. Don (Indian Cranberry)
Nutritional and energy value of an underutilized wild edible Viburnum mullaha was determined. Vitamin analysis confirmed that the fruit contains high amounts of vitamin C (122.27 mg/100 g), vitamin B2 (0.14 mg/g), and vitamin E (13.47 mg/g). Macronutrient profile revealed that Viburnum mullaha is a rich source of carbohydrates (18.4 g/100 g), proteins (11.3 g/100 g), and lipids (18.4 g/100 g). It was calculated that 100 g of fruit berries can pro…
The livestock production system in a village ecosystem in the Rawain Valley, Uttarakhand, Central Himalaya
Animals in the Himalayan region are reared basically to supplement the family income and sustain crop production, and constitute an important component of the rural economy of the region. Given the ecological importance of the livestock production system in terms of intrinsic values as a life support system for local people and a contribution towards sustainable agriculture through its role in the maintenance of soil fertility, the present study …
Managing natural resources with eco-friendly technologies for sustainable rural development: A case of Garhwal Himalaya
Traditional Central Himalaya societies face a range of socio-economic and environmental problems. The potential of science and technology has not yet been adequately and appropriately harnessed to overcome the development constraints posed by the fragile Himalayan environment. Thus there is a need for large-scale establishment of technology resource centers. The Garhwal Unit of GB Pant Institute of Himalayan Environment and Development establishe…
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…
Traditional agriculture in transition: A case of Har-ki Doon Valley (Govind Pashu Vihar Sanctuary and National Park) in Central Himalaya
Traditional crop diversity and landraces in agricultural land use in Himalaya have great significant for long-term sustainability of agroecosystems, together with conservation and management of the surrounding landscape. Traditional crop varieties and races, which evolved over time through trial and error, not only provide basic nutritional requirements, but also food security. Loss of crop biodiversity has taken place over recent years, principa…
