Nature-Culture Mapping in the Trans-Himalayas
Tso Moriri-Korzok (Ladakh-India) located in the Ladakh Trans-Himalayas is a unique bio-diverse wetland 4650m above sea-level (asl). It is locally protected and an international Ramsar site. The Changpa nomadic pastoralists who have inhabited this landscape for several centuries display a complex yet eloquent interface with nature that is evident in their way of life. However the region is highly vulnerable due to climate change geopolitical conflicts and irregular policies affecting both ecosystems and breaking the socio-cultural fabric of the Changpa nomads. The project proposed aims to spatially map the Changpa land-use their movement and the wetland ecosystem. Documenting cultural historical environmental and other practical data that showcase interdependencies interactions and overlaps between nature and cultural systems. The mapping project could support future landscape management and conservation plans. ; departmental bulletin paper
