    Sacred Grove of Devi Satkanya at Lebong in Darjeeling Himalaya (India): a Traditional Way of Biodiversity Conservation Since Time Immemorial

    Available online at www.worldscientificnews.com WSN 90 (2017) 51-61 EISSN 2392-2192 Sacred Grove of Devi Satkanya at Lebong in Darjeeling Himalaya (India): A Traditional Way of Biodiversity Conservation Since Time Immemorial Subhasis Panda Angiosperm Taxonomy & Ecology Laboratory, Botany Department, Maulana Azad College, 8, Rafi Ahmed Kidwai Road, Kolkata-700013, University of Calcutta, Calcutta, India E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT Devi Satkanya Sacred Grove is located behind a mistic town called Lebong as a pristine forest patch, about 8 km from Darjeeling Town. Geographically, the grove is located between 27°03.436’N Lat. and 88°16.592’E Long. at an altitude of about 1823 m. Total area of the grove is approx. 5770 square metre (sq.m.). In Darjeeling, most of the Sacred Groves have ‘deity’---rocky idols of Devi Durga and Lord Shiva, often reside inside small rocky caves called ‘cave temple’. Devi Satkanya Sacred Grove possesses a great heritage of diverse gene pool of many forest species having socio- religious attachment and possessing medicinal values viz., Garcinia cowa DC., Prunus cerasoides D.Don, Michelia cathcartii Hook.f. & Thomson (Chanp), Ficus nemoralis Wall. etc. Devi Satkanya SG is ecologically and genetically very important. It harbours a good number of Endangered ethnomedicinal plants like Swertia chirayita (Roxb. ex Fleming) H. Karst. and animals like Himalayan Salamander (Tylototriton verrucosus Anderson). As a result of extensive field visits in different seasons to Devi Satkanya SG from June 2014 to October 2016, new and first hand data on threatened plants and animals, ethnomedicinal plants and traditional and magical way of biodiversity conservation by the local Nepalese since time immemorial were documented.

  • Chapter 6 Forest Communities & Cprs in the Hill Region

    Chapter 6 Forest Communities & Cprs in the Hill Region

    Chapter 6 Forest Communities & CPRs in the Hill Region 6.1 Introduction The region to be studied lies within the Eastern Himalaya which is a biodiversity hotspot little explored as yet by Government scientific agencies like the Botanical Survey of India [BSI] and the Zoological Survey of India [ZSI]. This makes it an important conservation zone, with an approximate area of 15000 sq. km. of forests having already been committed to designated Protected Areas. However imposition of statutory control over regional forests has been accompanied by large scale diversion of forest lands to plantations, agriculture and urban settlement. Economic development has also been accompanied by high levels of immigration which have brought forests in the region under extreme pressure, threatening their very survival. Study of the status of property rights and the patterns of use of CPRs, woodfuels and other forest resources is thus expected to throw light on the interdependence of human communities, economic development and natural resources in a region of the Himalaya where significant forests still survive. By documenting forest access and CPR-use by the communities that live on the very edge of subsistence at the forest fringe~ we make an attempt to meaningfully contribute towards the operationalisation of sustainable development through the means of self-governing social control systems. The present chapter and the next are based on the case-studies undertaken in the two northern districts of Darjeeling and Jalpaiguri in West Bengal respectively. 6.1.1 Geographical Description and Position of the Darjeeling district. Darjeeling is a small district that lies between 26°31' and 27°13' North latitude and between 87° 59' and 88° 53' East longitude in the extreme north of the state of West Bengal in India.

(USA) Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X Gorkha Identity and Separate Statehood Movement By Dr. Anil Kumar Sarkar ABN Seal College, India Introduction- The present Darjeeling District was formed in 1866 where Kalimpong was transformed to the Darjeeling District. It is to be noted that during Bhutanese regime Kalimpong was within the Western Duars. After the Anglo-Bhutanese war 1866 Kalimpong was transferred to Darjeeling District and the western Duars was transferred to Jalpaiguri District of the undivided Bengal. Hence the Darjeeling District was formed with the ceded territories of Sikkim and Bhutan. From the very beginning both Darjeeling and Western Duars were treated excluded area. The population of the Darjeeling was Composed of Lepchas, Nepalis, and Bhotias etc. Mech- Rajvamsis are found in the Terai plain. Presently, Nepalese are the majority group of population. With the introduction of the plantation economy and developed agricultural system, the British administration encouraged Nepalese to Settle in Darjeeling District. It appears from the census Report of 1901 that 61% population of Darjeeling belonged to Nepali community.
