Foreword
The Himalayan region with distinct ecosystem and climatic conditions is an ideal habitat of numerous unique flora and fauna, which also provides a natural resource base to a large part of the Indian subcontinent since the time immemorial. Recognition as one of the global biodiversity hotspots and predominance of diverse agricultural forms in the region reflect the prevalence of rich diversity all across the Himalayan ecosystem. But nowadays, the climate change (CC), faced worldwide, has become a major global concern. And, the Indian Himalayan region (IHR) is also not unperturbed by CC impacts. In fact, it has become highly vulnerable to the globally changing climate. These CC impacts are reflected in terms of general consequences such as unpredictable or erratic rainfall patterns, drying up of local springs and streams, species migrating to different elev
