| Abstract: | ABSTRACT Eco-friendly activities are being given priority globally to conserve resources for future generations. The Kumaun Region of Uttarakhand is a sensitive district for biodiversity. Nainital is globally known for its lakes. There are different types of vegetation and forests in the mountainous and lowland areas. In India, women have been helpful to protect the environment since ancient times. Women have always been in the forefront to keep the entire ecological balanced because most of the activities of women depend on natural resources. They are usually dependent on available natural resources for food, fuel, and shelter. Therefore, it can be particularly vulnerable to environmental hazards and changes. Women workload is focused on the management of natural resources, biodiversity, and ecological systems. Therefore, their experiences and perspectives are essential for the formulation and work of sustainable livelihood and development policies for a healthy planet for the future generations. The income generating activities are conducted by the local women in a manner conducive to environmental protection. Income generations are done by manufacturing eco-friendly products. Agriculture in the hilly region is highly interdependent with forestry and animal husbandry and women are considered the backbone of agriculture in Uttarakhand. The Tharu tribe and the Gujjar tribe live in the terai region of Kumaun. Eco-friendly and eco-tourism activities have emerged as an alternative source of income which not only provides sustainable alternative livelihood for the local women but also helps in preserving the environment and culture of the area through local community participation. The main objective of this research is to study income generating activities conducted by women without harming biodiversity and how women preserve, transform, and transfer these activities from generation to generation to sustain livelihood. For this research primary and secondary data have been used. This research has been done in 02 districts of Uttarakhand Nainital and Udham Singh Nagar. For this, 200 women respondents have been selected by a simple random sampling. Under this, only those income generation activities, which are necessary for environmental protection, such as eco-tourism, eco-friendly products, home gardens vegetation cultivation etc. have been included. Generating income while preserving the environment is the best thing one can offer to humanity and the present catastrophic climate condition. The outcomes of this research will be beneficial for further research. |
