Title of the Research Project – “Biological Diversity log of Uttarakhand State and its conservation strategies” financial assistance from Uttarakhand Council of Science and Technology (UCOST), Govt. of Uttarakhand (2007-09).
Bio-diversity has numerous values in agriculture, forestry, medicine, food & industry. Conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity is inbuilt in Indian ethos and culture. The conservation of biodiversity requires the development of sound conservation planning and implementation of strong policies, but these measures themselves are inadequate to arrest the rate and magnitude of biodiversity loss. The foundation of sound conservation planning and policy is itself dependent on the existence of data generated through research, monitoring and inventories.
The Uttarakhand state is very rich in biodiversity. Like most Indian hill states it has primarily an agrarian economy. Nevertheless, the past decades have seen an increase in pressure on the state’s natural eco-systems. It is, therefore, high time that the issues, relating to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, like information on flora, fauna, microbes, agro-biodiversity and plants of ethno botanical importance, identification of major threats to biodiversity in the state and proposed conservation strategies are addressed at one place to provide an updated status of Biodiversity of the state.
The report of the project has been submitted listing biodiversity profile of the state including microbes, flora, fauna and fossils. It also deals with the total list of ethno botanical and ethno zoological species, as well as their conservation status. Threats to biodiversity and their conservation strategies have been discussed..
