The Bhotiyas have grazed their sheep in the Bugyals and the Valley of Flowers in Uttarakhand for generations. However, increasing concerns around the degradation of these spaces has led to restrictions being imposed on the movement of traditional communities there. As the threat of climate change rises, the need for concerted and inclusive climate action becomes critical. Jitendra Singh, TERI-EJN fellow, reports how leveraging the traditional knowledge of local communities like the Bhotiyas, rather than alienating them from these landscapes, can help conserve the rich biodiversity of the Bugyals. |
