In the case of Abbottabad, this effort was T stymied right from the start by the glaring absence of reliable statistics for various sectors. No formal impact assessment studies were available and no independent critical analysis of development initiatives appeared to have been undertaken. The lack of baseline indicators to serve as a foundation for remedial proposals required that such a study be conducted. The State of the Environment and Development (SoED) was developed in response to this need, so that the most recent available data on various sectors could be brought together in a single volume. The SoED examines the current status of key sectors that have a direct bearing on development in the district. It takes stock of initiatives completed or in the pipelines and critically examines lessons provided by these efforts. This document is based on the findings of individual sector papers that were commissioned and finalised after broad interaction with stakeholders. By compiling and condensing these studies, the SoED serves as a snapshot of the district. The wealth of statistical information here is intended to provide a platform for informed decision making. It is our hope that this document serves as a benchmark study, to be updated at regular intervals, so that the process of systematic data gathering set in motion here can become an integral part of all future planning. vi Abbottabad State of the Environment and Development READER»S GUIDE he structural framework for the SoED and its companion pub- lication, the Abbottabad Strategy for Sustainable Develop- ment (ASSD), was developed simultaneously so that each T document, while standing alone, would also reflect the con- tent of the other. The SoED lays the groundwork for an integrated development vision for Abbottabad, examining in depth the current status of key sectors. This volume is designed for sector specialists and those seeking a deeper understanding of the on-ground realities under- pinning the strategic development vision outlined in the ASSD. The SoED begins with an overview of the district, covering physical geog- raphy, climate and land use patterns, as well as demographic and socio- economic indicators. Broader themes that impact human development, including poverty, unemployment, society and culture, are examined along with current institutional arrangements. The strategy formulation process is described, outlining the public consultation exercises held to identify issues that were relevant to the people of Abbottabad. The heart of this document consists of a detailed analysis of 18 core areas, which are discussed in individual chapters. Besides compiling statistical data, these chapters aim to assess the contribution of major players and examine the lessons that have been learned from previous development initiatives. The concluding chapter takes a step back from sectoral analyses to examine broader themes that have a wide-ranging impact on development efforts in all sectors. These cross-cutting themes are highlighted to ensure that they are kept in mind while planning remedial measures targeted at specific sectors. Abbottabad State of the Environment and Development vii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY bbottabad district is home to an estimated 928,000 individuals, with the vast majority living in rural areas. Although just 18.6% of the district’s A residents currently make their home in the cities, deepening poverty is leading to increasing urbanisation. Spread over 178,401 ha of predominantly mountainous terrain, population density in the district is high, at 466 persons per km2. Forests cover an area of 39,395 ha, or a little over 20% of the district, accounting for 5.4% of the total forest resources of the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP). The majority of Abbottabad’s forested area is today so severely denuded that only 29% of forests support a density greater than 50%. Meanwhile, the gap between use and regenerative capacity continues to widen. Overall, some 48% of land in the district is under agriculture and land use intensity is high. Agriculture is the mainstay of the district’s economy but the sector operates at a subsis- tence level. Of the 63,000 ha under cultivation, only 11% is irrigated. The remaining 56,000 ha of farmland depends exclusively on rain. As a result, per-hectare yields are low, and local demand for cereal crops such as maize and wheat viii Abbottabad State of the Environment and Development Executive Summary

  • Diversity and Abundance of Medicinal Plants Among Different Forest-Use Types of the Pakistani Himalaya
    DIVERSITY AND ABUNDANCE OF MEDICINAL PLANTS AMONG DIFFERENT FOREST-USE TYPES OF THE PAKISTANI HIMALAYA Muhammad Adnan (Born in Charsadda, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan) A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Academic Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) of the Faculty of Forest Sciences and Forest Ecology of the Georg-August-University of Göttingen Supervisor Prof. Dr. Dirk Hölscher Göttingen, November 2011 Reviewers Prof. Dr. Dirk Hölscher Prof. Dr. Christian Ammer Examiners Prof. Dr. Dirk Hölscher Prof. Dr. Christian Ammer Prof. Dr. Erwin Bergmeier ii SUMMARY Medicinal plants collected in the Himalayan forests are receiving increasing attention at the international level for a number of reasons and they play an important role in securing rural livelihoods. However, these forests have been heavily transformed over the years by logging, grazing and agriculture. This thesis examines the extent to which the diversity and abundance of medicinal plants are affected between forest-use types as a result of such transformations. In northwestern Pakistan we studied old-growth forest, degraded forests (forests degraded by logging, derived woodland, agroforest and degraded sites) and restored forests (re-growth forests and reforestation sites). An approximate map was initially established covering an area of 90 km2 of the studied forest-use types and fifteen and five plots were allocated to five and two forest-use types respectively at altitudes ranging from 2,200 m to 2,400 m asl. The abundance and diversity of medicinal plants were then assessed therein. Of the fifty-nine medicinal plant species (herbs and ferns) studied, old-growth forest contained the highest number thereof with fifty-five species, followed by re-growth forest with forty-nine species and finally, forest degraded by logging with only forty species.

    Pak. J. Bot., 45(SI): 253-261, January 2013. PHYTOTHERAPY AMONG THE RURAL WOMEN OF DISTRICT ABBOTABAD GHULAM MUJTABA SHAH*, ZAFAR JAMAL AND MANZOOR HUSSAIN Department of Botany Govt. Postgraduate College Abbottabad *Corresponding author’s e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The present communication highlights the scope of ethnomedicinal plants for women’s health care in Abbottabad district, Northern Pakistan. Participatory Action Research (PAR) and field visits were planned to elicit information on the uses of various medicinal plants by women. Field trips were undertaken covering different rural and tribal populated areas of the district to document ethnomedicinal plants used by women for the treatment of various diseases. The women chieftains were accorded a significant role in discussions since they possess more cognizances about the utility of local herbal products in curing various diseases. The study revealed that 67 plant species belonging to 65 genera and 47 families are used in women’s folk medicinal system. The medicinal plants are mostly used to cure amenorrhoea, skin allergies, and leucorrhoea, as abortifacient, post delivery pain, dandruff, eczema, tonic after delivery and for breast milk secretion. All these herbal medicines belong to 65.67% herbaceous ground flora, 8.95% shrubs, 22.38% trees and 2,98% climbers. Resins, exudates, leaves, shoots, fruits, seeds, bark, tubers and roots are the plants components which are utilized as medicinal ingredients. Plant components are used fresh, dried or both. Further research in needed to isolate the compounds responsible for the observed biological activity. Introduction been done in this field by many researchers (Chaudhri, 1959; Farooq, 1990; Haq & Hussain, 1993; Hussain & Plants have been used in various traditional medicinal Khaliq, 1996; Shinwari & khan, 1999; Gilani et al., 2001; systems for the treatment of human ailments.
