Impact of Conservation and Development on the Vicinity of Nanda Devi National Park in the North India

A study on the vicinity of Nanda Devi National Park, India, reveals significant gender-specific differences in the impact of displacement due to conservation and development efforts. Despite early recommendations for pre-notification impact assessments, none were conducted before the area was declared a national park. The research also highlights a lack of systematic linkage between compensatory schemes and the grievances of affected communities, underscoring critical gaps in policy implementation.
