Abstract Under global warming and climate change, the vulnerable piece of land is India’s Eastern Himalayan region (EHR), where millions’ livelihood activities are at risk. Quantifying degree change-induced vulnerability over highly climate-sensitive mountain zone challenging because inadequacy meteorological data. Therefore, what alternative should mitigate scientific data for mitigation adaptation policy to change in EHR? The study's main objective assess perception kiwifruit growers under EHR impact on its cultivation. Perceived were used accurate decision-support information creation. Descriptive statistics trend analysis analyzed Study shows that indigenous mountain/farming communities following shifting cultivation diversifying their traditional agriculture (apple cultivation) Kiwifruit as an option change. They have a clear patterns trends relatively inadequate agriculture. It can be concluded using perceived map scenarios unique approach avoid inadequacy. study has revealed indigenous/mountain people clearly perceive engaging other stakeholders postulate comprehensive strategy befitting strategy. may appropriate depicting elsewhere. results will help make strategies Himalayan, plane regions.

Climate change has emerged as one of the major threats to biodiversity and Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) is facing challenges due a higher rate elevation dependent warming erratic rainfall. The rich bounty ecosystem services provided by this ‘water tower’ ‘Third Pole’ are under risk. Though there scattered sectoral knowledge available, comprehensive understanding on climate its impact lacking in HKH. To fill gap, systematic literature review using search, appraisal, synthesis, analysis (SALSA) was undertaken look at temporal spatial trends research focusing impacts services. increasing trend evolution from multidisciplinarity approach with focus suggested strong influence regional priority global discourse. There clear pattern biophysical environmental focused early phase 1990s societal concerns highlighting vulnerability, adaptation, mitigation measures later phases. also revealed an multidisciplinary, networking bringing innovative tools linking biodiversity. However, showed greater Tibetan plateau alpine decreasing interest forest ecosystems, very negligible wetlands. Studies assessments but relatively low rate.

The Western Himalaya faces significant ecological challenges, including deforestation, biodiversity loss, and unsustainable development, prompting extensive restoration efforts. These scattered practices, ranging from large‐scale afforestation to more nuanced strategies, remain under‐assessed. Therefore, we undertook a systematic review following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta‐Analyses guidelines, identifying dominant research themes various trends in practices detect knowledge gaps propose future priorities. We analyzed 100 peer‐reviewed gray literature articles January 1990 February 2024. Most interventions were reported Uttarakhand (53.7%, n = 183), followed by Himachal Pradesh (27.9%), Ladakh (10.3%), Jammu Kashmir (8.2%). Afforestation was the practice (34.3%, 117), concentrated Ladakh, while forest (17.6%, 60) ( 56). Research centered on “Restoration Techniques” (37.5%) “Stakeholder Engagement” (22.7%), “Policy & Governance” “Climate Change Mitigation Adaptation” under‐represented. Restoration goals primarily targeted “Ecosystem Functioning Services” (32%) “Biodiversity Enhancement” (22%) but largely ignored “Disaster Resilience” “Water Management.” Nearly half of species planted non‐native (47.6%), with median four per site, monitoring inconsistently reported, raising concerns about long‐term outcomes. Natural regeneration notably understudied, tokenistic tree‐planting drives rampant, particularly Trans‐Himalayas. suggest that ecology its application Himalayan ecosystems should be prioritized, together collaboration practitioners adoption consistent address landscape's unique challenges.

This chapter provides an overview of the Himalayas in Anthropocene era, which is characterized by significant human impacts on environment. The Himalayas, one world's most ecologically sensitive and biodiverse regions, are facing various environmental challenges, including climate change, deforestation, land-use change. reviews scientific literature effects activities Himalayan region, ecosystems, water resources, biodiversity. also discusses importance as a global hotspot for biodiversity conservation challenges protecting this unique fragile ecosystem face growing demands. identifies five key themes that characterize Himalayas: (1) (2) change forest degradation, (3) resources hydrology, (4) conservation, (5) wellbeing. These reflect interconnected complex nature Himalayas' need integrated holistic approaches to address them. emphasizes interdisciplinary research collaboration among scientists, policymakers, local communities develop effective strategies mitigating region. In conclusion, era highlights these challenges. critical region wellbeing, it essential balance needs with sustainability. underscores addressing region's
