The
higher altitude pasture belt in Ladakh consists of
Chang-Thang and Zangskar regions which are economically
known as povery pockets of Jammu and Kashmir State
and are marked for their precious uneven topography,
inaccessibility, underdevelopment and geographic isolation
from rest of the State. There is an absolute dearth
of scientific information, data and literature of
socio-economic and environmental conditions of the
people of these pasture belts. For Chang-Thang area
this is the first attempt in the history of Ladakh
when a research work on pasturelands is carried out.
This study is intended to cover a vast gap of information
regarding the nature, pattern and extent, their socio-economic
activities related to availability of pasture cover,
mirgration cycle, grazing pattern, ecological problems
and to find out ways how pasture development under
future planning may be possible? It humbly attempts
to present a scientific assessment of the scope of
pasturelands for the livestock development and ways
for reducing the ecological problems. A brief summary
of lessons which have come out after reviewing the
socio-environmental activities of Chang-Thang and
Zangskar regions alongwith recommendations for pasture
development in higher pasturelands of Ladakh has been
added. The findings of this study are based on supporting
reference material and statistical evidences collected
by the author in course of an extensive field survey
of Ladakh during 1981-1993.
