medicines Review Himalayan Aromatic Medicinal Plants: A Review of their Ethnopharmacology, Volatile Phytochemistry, and Biological Activities Rakesh K. Joshi 1, Prabodh Satyal 2 and Wiliam N. Setzer 2,* 1 Department of Education, Government of Uttrakhand, Nainital 263001, India; [email protected] 2 Department of Chemistry, University of Alabama in Huntsville, Huntsville, AL 35899, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-256-824-6519; Fax: +1-256-824-6349 Academic Editor: Lutfun Nahar Received: 24 December 2015; Accepted: 3 February 2016; Published: 19 February 2016 Abstract: Aromatic plants have played key roles in the lives of tribal peoples living in the Himalaya by providing products for both food and medicine. This review presents a summary of aromatic medicinal plants from the Indian Himalaya, Nepal, and Bhutan, focusing on plant species for which volatile compositions have been described. The review summarizes 116 aromatic plant species distributed over 26 families. Keywords: Jammu and Kashmir; Himachal Pradesh; Uttarakhand; Nepal; Sikkim; Bhutan; essential oils 1. Introduction The Himalya Center of Plant Diversity [1] is a narrow band of biodiversity lying on the southern margin of the Himalayas, the world’s highest mountain range with elevations exceeding 8000 m. The plant diversity of this region is defined by the monsoonal rains, up to 10,000 mm rainfall, concentrated in the summer, altitudinal zonation, consisting of tropical lowland rainforests, 100–1200 m asl, up to alpine meadows, 4800–5500 m asl. Hara and co-workers have estimated there to be around 6000 species of higher plants in Nepal, including 303 species endemic to Nepal and 1957 species restricted to the Himalayan range [2–4].

Executive Summary Revision: R1
Project : Environmental Studies for Vishnugad – Pipalkoti Hydro-electric Project Page: i Document : 2008026/EC Date: Sep 2009 Archaeological Survey Report/ Executive Summary Revision: R1 ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.0 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The Vishnugad Pipalkoti Hydroelectric Project (VPHEP) is a run-of-the river hydro power project proposed on River Alaknanda in district Chamoli in Uttarakhand. Archaeologically and culturally, the entire area from the foothills to the higher Himalayan mountain upto the source of Alaknanda is considered as the land highly sacrosanct. Moreover, because of its religious significance due to the great Himalayan shrines, it has remained culturally and historically inseparable from the rest of India The archaeological researches in India since independence have brought forth a rich data of our cultural heritage. The extensive explorations and assiduous excavations undertaken throughout the country have succeeded in unearthing a plethora of new evidences. In the same way, regional studies in archaeology have also contributed in discovering India’s past in no lesser terms. However, the region of the Garhwal- Himalaya has comparatively been less studied. Pre-History: The prehistory past of the Garhwal-Himalaya is not known with certainty. The reasons are two fold, firstly, topographically it was a most difficult region and secondly, the extreme climatic cycles made it more inhospitable for the early man. Further more, the recurrence of the tectonic fluctuations resulting physiographic changes along with frequent landslides all around in the valleys and mountains disturbed the entire sequence everywhere an obliterated totally all evidence of the past. Paleolithic Tools: Exploration for Stone Age artifacts were conducted at Srinagar and Dang in the Alaknanda Valley as for back as 1977, when a few flacks resembling the pebble tools were picked up from terrace 1(at village Dang).

An Annotated Checklist of the Birds of Banj Oak–Chir Pine Forests in Kumaon, Uttarakhand
SHAHABUDDIN ET AL.: Birds of Kumaon 29 An annotated checklist of the birds of banj oak–chir pine forests in Kumaon, Uttarakhand Ghazala Shahabuddin, Rajkamal Goswami & Munish Gupta Shahabuddin, G., Goswami, R., & Gupta, M., 2017. An annotated checklist of the birds of banj oak–chir pine forests in Kumaon, Uttarakhand. Indian BIRDS 13 (2): 29–36. Ghazala Shahabuddin, Centre for Ecology, Development and Research, 201/1, Vasant Vihar, Dehradun, Uttarakhand 248006, India. E-mail: [email protected] [Corresponding author]. Rajkamal Goswami, Centre for Ecology, Development and Research, 201/1, Vasant Vihar, Dehradun 248006, Uttarakhand, India. Munish Gupta, Indian Institute of Forest Management, Shastri Nagar, Bhopal 462003, Madhya Pradesh, India. Manuscript received on 13 October 2016. Abstract The banj oak Quercus leucotrichophora-chir pine Pinus roxburghii forest zone (1500–2200 m asl) of the Western Himalaya is a biodiversity-rich habitat that has undergone considerable modification and conversion over the last 20 years. Yet, there is little systematic information on its avifauna, particularly in the context of the observed impacts of global warming, land use change, forest modification, and fragmentation. In this study, we inventory the birds of this forest association based on intensive field studies carried out at 42 sites (in six geographical clusters) inthe Nainital, and Almora Districts of Uttarakhand, along with collecting data on abundance status, breeding, habitat preferences, and endemism status. We recorded a total of 136 species over four years of study across these sites. Based on our observations, 104 species (76%) are likely to be breeding. The large number of broad-leaved forest specialists (35), primarily forest species that are relatively adaptable (69), and Himalayan endemics (51) recorded during the study indicates the high conservation value of this forest association.

Abstract In June 2013 multiple disaster involving flash flood and landslides struck many parts of Uttarakhand state. This caused massive devastation in the state on 16 and 17 June, 2013. In the present paper, attempt was made to analysis the landslide incidences and damages in Chamoli district. A total of 220 landslides were observed in the area. About 92% of slide occurred on northerly (48 percent) and southerly (43 percent) facing slopes. These may be subject to freeze-thaw and drier cycles. Heavy rainfall and low shear strength of the rocks have played a major role in facilitating these slides.

GOVERNMENT of INDIA MINISTRY of EARTH SCIENCES LOK SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION No
GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF EARTH SCIENCES LOK SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION No. 1803 TO BE ANSWERED ON WEDNESDAY, July 27, 2016 VULNERABILITY TO LANDSLIDE 1803. SHRI R. PARTHIPAN: SHRI LAKHAN LAL SAHU: Will the Minister of EARTH SCIENCES be pleased to state: (a) whether large parts of the country's land mass are vulnerable to landslide and land erosion; (b) if so, the details thereof; (c) whether any study has been conducted by the Government/NonGovernment agency in this regard; (d) if so, the details thereof; and (e) whether the Government has taken any precautionary measures and if so, the details thereof? ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE FOR MINISTRY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AND MINISTRY OF EARTH SCIENCES (SHRI Y. S. CHOWDARY) (a-b) Yes Madam. Landslides are a common geomorphic hazards in Himalayan states which is generally triggered by heavy rainfall almost every year and also often by major earthquakes in this active Himalayan Fold-Thrust-Belt. Available landslide susceptibility and inventory maps along important pilgrimage routes, road-corridors, river basins and site-specific large scale (1:2000 or larger) landslide maps have already revealed that within these Himalayan states, parts of many mountainous tracts and locations are highly vulnerable and susceptible to landslides. The highly unstable zones studied by Geological Survey of India (GSI) in various zones are given in Annexure-I. (c-d) Yes Madam. GSI has launched a project to create a landslide compendium for north western Himalayas. The project started on 1 April, 2014. The details of project outcome are given below. The compendium includes all major landslide studies carried out by GSI till 2013 in the North West (NW) Himalayas in the States of Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir.
