Resumen de Studies on the impact of local folk on forests of Garhwal Himalaya. 1: Energy from biomass
People in the Himalayas have been using fuelwood as the only source of energy for generations. Increasing population and declining forest resources have led to strict environmental laws in the area. The human impact on forests of the region was studied. The present biomass consumption of approximate 442 kg person−1 yr−1 along with cowdung are contributing factors for the present state of forest deforestation in the region.
