Abstract

Unpredictable extreme weather, climate events and natural disasters have the potential to upset the normal life processes of plants, animals and human being. Central Himalayan Region (CHR) is known for its biological richness as well as vulnerability to natural disasters. Focus areas of natural disaster studies are damage to human lives, live stock and property. Plant genetic resources hardly get place in natural disaster management. Keeping the glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) during June 2013 in Kedarnath region of the Uttarakhand province of India in view, the present study was conducted with the aim of assessing the damage to livelihood and plant genetic resources and find out possible solution to conserve the available genetic diversity and minimize the damage to livelihood.
