Period:2017-2018
CBED has worked on a study “Bio-Resource Assessment and Value Chain Analysis of ABS Potential Species/Products In Selected Districts of Garhwal Region, Uttarakhand” with the support of GIZ Uttarakhand has an enormous wealth of bio-resource owing to a high degree ofecological and climatic diversity. Registering the existing status of bio-resources, theircollection procedure, trade and associated value chain is essential for their conservation.Keeping these considerations in mind the present study was conducted in Haridwar,Uttarkashi and Pauri districts of Uttarakhand. While Haridwar occurs in plains ofUttarakhand, the other two districts are mountainous.The objectives of the study were an assessment of flora and fauna and their rarity,diversity, fragmentation, habitat condition, resilience and threats. Also, inventorization oftraditional knowledge of extraction/harvesting uses and dependency on bio-resources /NTFPs / medicinal plants of the locals.
The methodology adopted for achieving the objectives included discussions with theconcerned authorities for selection of villages, questionnaires based survey of the householdsand PRA (Participatory Rural Appraisal) for the mapping of available bio-resources.Approaches i.e. BCG (Boston Consultancy Group) and species selection index wereadopted for identifying the species with ABS potential in the three districts. BCG matrix isthe selection criterion for the species having high availability and high price while speciesselection index focuses on the criterion like market availability, storage facility, price etc.14 species from all the three districts which could be targeted for ABS mechanism wereidentified. These are Terminalia chebula, T. bellirica, Aegle marmelos, Mallotusphilippensisand Ocimumgratissimum from Haridwar, Parmelia spp., Moss Ghaans, Bryophyllumpinnatum, Zanthoxylum armatum, Bombax ceiba and Dioscoreabulbiferafrom Pauri andOcimumgratissimum, Parmeliaspp. and Rhododendron sp. from Uttarkashi. These species
are collected by the forest department/agencies like JilaBheshaj Sangh and UFDC with thehelp of villagers. And traded through the legalised mechanism (Herbal Mandi’s).Collection of bio-resource is a culture amongst the forest communities ofUttarakhand. More involvement of locals could only be achieved if proper incentives wouldbe given to them. Also, Construction of Biodiversity Management Committees and People’sBiodiversity Register can prove to be a beneficial approach for the conservation of bioresources
