A Glimpse of Vegetation and Threatened Medicinal Plant Diversity of Govind Wildlife Sanctuary, Garhwal Himalaya
Govind Wild Life Sanctuary (GWLS), situated in Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand, India, supports enormous plant diversity including several threatened plants of high medicinal value. Despite of legal protection this protected area is facing severe threat due to anthropogenic pressure, which in turn produces adverse natural pressure.
