Temporal change detection in two watershed areas of Kumaon region and its impact on livelihood of forest fringe communities [1]

Additional image:: 

Landscape changes were measured in two watersheds of western Himalayas over a period of 17 years using satellite images. Whereas the total forest cover was found to have been altered, there was substantial shift
among different elements which could be attributed to the increasing populations that live off these watersheds. We have also estimated the livelihood contributions of these watersheds to the dependent populations.
