Willows of Indian Himalayan Region
• Tree species of willow
• Hardy
• Survive subzero temperature
• Extreme wind conditions

Monumental trees of Willow
• growing in rural back drop of the region
• 9.15 m GBH : Chok-Than village (Ladakh)
• 10.25m GBH : Puyan village, Kargil
Needs conservation measures on trees and genetic characterization for development

Improvement of Willows in the Region Depends upon:
• Forms
• Natural hybridization
• Agro-forestry
• Workable properties for utilization
• Value addition
![Page 9: Livelihood Studies on Willow Dependent Communities of ......Livelihood Studies on Willow Dependent Communities of Indian Trans Himalayan Region with Emphasis on Sustainable Management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071516/61394ed2a4cdb41a985b9e55/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Traditional Approach and Method
• Development of the resource
• Conscious and sub-conscious selection
- planting
- utilization to small scale
• For gains through marketing
•Aesthetics and design

Willow Bioresource providing a Sustainable Livelihood to the Communities
# Economic # Social # Environmental

Need and Priorities
• Integrated , Interdisciplinary approach
• Participation of communities in plantation works
• Transfer of technology and modification of innovations
• Capacity building on upgrading the skills for value addition
![Page 28: Livelihood Studies on Willow Dependent Communities of ......Livelihood Studies on Willow Dependent Communities of Indian Trans Himalayan Region with Emphasis on Sustainable Management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071516/61394ed2a4cdb41a985b9e55/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• Safe guarding the property rights on indigenous traditional knowledge (ITK)
• Linking economic derivation of the Indications with traits, Access & Benefit Sharing (ABS) and accreditation
• Market sustainability (trends, products for higher income generation) from local to global levels
