Conservation and Cultivation of Medicinal Plants for Sustainable Development in Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve, Uttarakhand, India... 

The Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve (NDBR) in the western Himalaya is one such diverse ecosystem and harbors a wide range of MAPs (Hajra and Balodi, 1995 Samant et al., 1996). MAPs are an essential part of traditional health care systems of the Bhotiya transhumance community of the Garhwal Himalaya inhabiting the northern most mountainous border areas of Chamoli and Uttarkashi districts of Uttarakhand state. 

The study was conducted in Dhauli Ganga catchment of Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve (NDBR), which is located in Chamoli district of Uttarakhand (30°17 to 30°41 N latitude and 79°40 to 80°05 E longitude) (Figure 1).
