The forest resources in the Himalayan region are under continuous threat of climate change, increase of human and domestic population and predator-prey conflicts as well as the management dimension. Under a rural landscape where the resource collection is a priority to day to day activities of women community, the pressure of management the sustainable resources is high, which ignites the need of in-depth research in aspect of forest resource management.
