Be the first of September 10, 2012 (Hong Kong) your friends. With just one month to go before the inauguration of Cashmere World (27 - 29 September in Hong Kong Follow @fibre2fashion Follow Convention and Exhibition Centre) there is real interest for the Indian participation this year - not only at the exhibition itself but also at the Cashmere World conferences. Like 0 Tweet 0 Share This year there will be a group of five exhibitors from India. These companies are EZMA, Pashma, Old Village, 0 RSS Geentanjali and Ahujasons. What is sure to intrigue and interest the professional buyers who will visit Cashmere World are the specific weaving arts and pashmina from India. Here is a unique opportunity to see garments that reflect the cashmere culture so characteristic of Indian designs yet are very much in line with the latest fashion trends. India's cashmere goat herds are located in the foothills of the Himalayas, mainly in Ladakh but their numbers are limited to around 175,000, according to information given to Cashmere World by Dr. Riaz Shah, Professor cum Chief Scientist at the Sher-E University, Jammu & Kashmir, India in the exclusive interview he gave to Cashmere World. Dr. Shah will be participating in the Cashmere World conference on the subject of the cloning of the tiny pashmina goat Noori on September 29th at 10am in Room S427, Level 4 of the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). The implications for the long term future and development of the cashmere industry based on this Indian scientific breakthrough are enormous. The presence of Dr. Shah at the Cashmere World conference is thanks to the sponsorship of his trip to Hong Kong by Team-Lee Fashion Knitters Ltd of Hong Kong and Robert Wan. Mr. Wan has dedicated his life to pearls and the exquisite jewelry that can be created from them. His company offers a collection of jewelry crafted from cultured Tahitian pearls in exclusive Wan designs such as necklaces and chokers to suit a woman's mood. Mr. Wan decided to support the cashmere industry out of a sense of social responsibility as it produces luxury products similar to his pearls. He hopes to contribute to the improvement of the lives of the herders who toil all year round in hard winter conditions to propagate the best quality cashmere from the goats they tend. The other sponsor of Dr. Shah's trip is Team-Lee Fashion Knitters, a specialist knitting company based in Hong Kong that creates all types of garments such as cardigans, sweater and pullovers. The motivation for the generous sponsorship by Team-Lee is also out of a sense of social responsibility to support the cashmere industry - especially the herders who, as mentioned above, lead hard lives in sub zero conditions. Dr. Shah's presentation is but one of the many interesting topics that will be covered at the Cashmere World Conference.

    SROCC Second Order Draft Government and Expert Review Comments - Chapter 2 Comment Chapter From From To To Comment Chapter Team Response id page line page line 2257 2 0 0 0 0 Excellent comprehensive and rich report. I have only few rather technical remarks. A more Taken into account – sentence included in permafrost section general recommendation relates to the new landscapes which are rapidli forming in deglaciating mountain areas and need comprehensive anticipation/modeling/treatment. This is an emerging research field (Haeberli, W. (2017): Integrative modelling and managing new landscapes and environments in de-glaciating mountain ranges: An emerging trans- disciplinary research field. Forestry Research and Engineering: International Journal 1(1). doi:10.15406/freij.2017.01.00005). This could be more strongly emphasized, for instance, in section 2.4 on page 47 an don page 5, line 53. Such new landscapes will be characterized by strong and long-lasting disequilibria, especially concerning slope stability, sediment cascades or eco-systems. One important factor thereby is the strongly different response time of cryosphere components: snow = almost immediate, mountain glaciers = years to decades, mountain permafrost =decades to centuries to even millennia. As an example, in many mountain chains, permafrost inside high peaks will probably continue to exist (far out of thermal equilibrium) when glaciers will have already long disappeared.

Received: 29 November 2019; Accepted: 18 January 2020; Published: 28 January 2020 Abstract: Yak (Bos grunniens L.) herding plays an important role in the domestic economy throughout much of the Asian highlands. Yak represents a major mammal species of the rangelands found across the Asian highlands from Russia and Kyrgyzstan in the west to the Hengduan Mountains of China in the east. Yak also has great cultural significance to the people of the Asian highlands and is closely interlinked to the traditions, cultures, and rituals of the herding communities. However, increasing issues like poverty, environmental degradation, and climate change have changed the traditional practices of pastoralism, isolating and fragmenting herders and the pastures they have been using for many years.

Professor, Faculty of Economics, Fukuoka University, JAPAN., 4. Professor, Center for Hands-on Learning Programs, Kwansei Gakuin University, Hyogo Himalaya is known for lofty mountains, and an intermix of glacial and fluvial denudation. Because of high altitude and snow melt streams, the vegetative cover is seen only along the river banks and in the open valleys. Ladakh Himalayas are situated in the North Eastern part of Jammu Kashmir State of Indian Union. In this mountainous region, there are many settlements situated at various altitudes varying from 3500 to 5300 meters, which are deprived of Electric city and motor-able road. These villages have taken origin purely on the natural guidance of geomorphology, the altitude and the availability of water. The main objective of this paper is to highlight the significance of the geomorphology in the origin of the settlements as early as 500 years ago. Secondly, an overall analysis of terrain and the land use pattern are focused to reveal the agriculture, housing and water resource management. Thirdly, this paper highlights the role of geomorphology based land use, occupation and livelihood(Including Tourism) as an indicators of long lasted Sustainability.
