  • Collection and Conservation of Major Medicinal Pants of Darjeeling and Sikkim Himalayas
    Indian Journal of Traditional Knowledge Vol. 6(2), April 2007, pp. 352-357 Collection and conservation of major medicinal pants of Darjeeling and Sikkim Himalayas S Hussain & DK Hore* NBPGR Regional Station, Umroi Road, Umiam 793 103, Meghalaya E-mail: [email protected] Received 23 June 2005; revised 25 September 2006 The paper deals with use of certain indigenous medicinal plants among the local people of the Sikkim Himalaya (Eastern Himalaya), which includes the entire state of Sikkim and adjoining Darjeeling Hill district of West Bengal. The study highlighted the use of 28 plant species belonging to 26 genera and 19 families as herbal medicine in the treatment of various ailments. Considering the growing demand for raw materials of medicinal plants by the pharmaceutical companies and their depleting resource base, due to unscientific gathering from the wild, it is of utmost necessity to take up ex-situ cultivation and conservation of these medicinal plant species. Plant name, local name, family, along with their parts used, ethnobotanical application with active principles and conservation strategies are discussed. Keywords: Conservation, Ethnomedicine, Medicinal plants, Darjeeling, Sikkim Himalayas, Lepcha, Bhutia, Limbus IPC Int.

LIST OF SAR EQUIPMENTS.............................................................. Pg. 91 - 92 1 INTRODUCTION Nature offers every thing to man. It sustains his life. Man enjoys the beauties of nature and lives on them. But he also becomes a victim of the fury of nature. Natural calamities like famines and floods take a heavy toll of human life and property. Man seems to have little chance in fighting against natural forces. The topography of the district of Darjeeling is such that among the four sub-divisions, three sub-divisions are located in the hills where disasters like landslides, landslip, road blockade are often occurred during monsoon. On the other side, in the Siliguri Sub-Division which lies in the plain there is possibility of flood due to soil erosion/ embankment and flash flood. As district of Darjeeling falls under Seismic Zone IV the probability of earthquake cannot be denied. Flood/ cyclone/ landslide often trouble men. Heavy rains results in rivers and banks overflowing causing damage on a large scale. Unrelenting rains cause human loss. In a hilly region like Darjeeling district poor people do not have well constructed houses especially in rural areas. Because of incessant rains houses collapse and kill people. Rivers and streams overflow inundating large areas. Roads and footpaths are sub merged under water.

  • Trekking in the Shadow of Kanchenjunga by Liz Cleere
    Trekking in the Shadow of Kanchenjunga By Liz Cleere Translated as "Five Great Treasures of the Snow", Kanchenjunga's sacred peaks are said to contain divine texts, gold, grain, gems, and salt. As a mark of respect, when the first climbers attempted to conquer it in the mid twentieth century they stopped short of the summit. Sadly, modern day mountaineers no longer honour that ancient tradition. Wilting in the pre-monsoon heat of Kerala, Jamie and I discuss ways of keeping cool and decide, just like the British Raj before us, it is time to head north. “I've wanted to see the Himalaya since we arrived in India," says Jamie. Thirty-six hours later we're drinking tea in Darjeeling. At 6710ft, 'The Queen of Hills' clings to the side of a steep valley, its narrow roads almost vertical in places. Our room is on the top floor of a five story house, and the nightly trek up to bed is good training for what is to come. Norbu and Sangay Dekeva's traditional home is snug and welcoming, its floors and walls decorated with photos and flags. Sweet masala tea is handed round in the wood panelled lounge, amid comfy sofas and a central wood burning stove. The view from our corner room offers the first panoramic view of the Himalaya: one window faces two kilometres down the valley; the other faces north west, across town to the Kanchenjunga massif. India's highest mountain (the third highest peak in the world) plays hide and seek with its admirers, sometimes appearing through the clouds at dawn or hanging in the sky at night.

    International Letters of Natural Sciences Online: 2015-01-27 ISSN: 2300-9675, Vol. 33, pp 51-72 doi:10.18052/www.scipress.com/ILNS.33.51 2015 SciPress Ltd, Switzerland Socio-environmental survey of an ecologically important hamlet of Darjeeling district, West Bengal, India S. Bhattacharya*, G. Ghosh, T. Banerjee, S. Goswami, P. Das Department of Environmental Studies, Rabindra Bharati University, Kolkata, India * E-mail address: [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT Forest cover in hills is essential to maintain environmental, economic and ecological balances. North Bengal accounts for 3,086 sq km (26 %) of the 11,876 sq km area of classified forests in the state, and for nearly 5,000 sq km (40 %) of all land under tree cover. Upper Chatakpur is one of the emerging ecotourism spots of north Bengal, located at an altitude of 7887 feet in Darjeeling district. It is a 180 years old ethnic village with 19 houses and a population of about 89, and at an altitude of 7887 ft. It is about 8 km. from Sonada (26° 57' N, 88° 16' E), 22 km. from Darjeeling (26° 2' N, 88° 15' E) and 72 km. from Siliguri (26° 42' N, 88° 25' E).
