“…In New Laiyi, economic perceptions and environmental perceptions were antecedents to sense of community, which is in agreement with the results of several previous studies [53,80]. However, sociocultural perceptions and life satisfaction perceptions did not directly influence residents' sense of community in New Laiyi.…”

“…In the place and community research context, sense of community, sense of place, and place attachment are important factors influencing residents' activities and behaviors. However, only a few studies have assessed the place attachment or sense of community of residents of indigenous communities [60,80], and no study has examined the causal relationships between For the residents of New Laiyi, economic perceptions and environmental perceptions positively and significantly affected sense of community, and sense of community positively and significantly affected the support for sustainable community development. Thus, H1, H3, and H5 were supported.…”

However, only a few studies have assessed the place attachment or sense of community of residents of indigenous communities [60,80], and no study has examined the causal relationships between sense of community and different variables in a relocated indigenous community. Therefore, this study not only finds that sense of community plays an important role in constructing an individual's support for sustainable community development in a relocated indigenous community, but also provides a valuable reference for relocated community development and climate change adaptation among indigenous people, potentially contributing to the literature.…”

This study aims to examine a theoretical model using sustainability perceptions, including environmental; sociocultural; economic; and life satisfaction, sense of community, and support for sustainable community development among the indigenous people of two relocated communities in Taiwan. A total of 747 usable questionnaires were collected and analyzed using structural equation modeling. The analytical results indicated that sense of community is an antecedent of support for sustainable community development in both relocated communities. Life satisfaction perceptions can influence the sense of community in Rinari. Additionally, environmental and economic perceptions are antecedents of the sense of community in New Laiyi. Finally, this study provides theoretical implications to fill the gaps in previous research, and offers valuable insights for promoting residents’ support for sustainable community development in aboriginal communities; thus, this study has significant contributions, theoretically and practically.

“…Effective governance of natural resources and sustainable practices are limited, adding to conservation challenges (Yadav et al, 2019). In addition, climate change is affecting the fragile ecosystems that dominate the area, resulting in receding glaciers, damage to permafrost, and perturbations in ecosystem function and structure (Pandey et al, 2020). Biodiversity loss is exacerbated by the heavy dependence of local human communities on natural resources, unabated and unplanned infrastructure development, overexploitation of medicinal and aromatic plants, and poaching and illegal wildlife trafficking (Sandhu & Sandhu, 2015).…”

In the last decade the tiger Panthera tigris population in the Terai Arc Landscape and Himalayas has increased, while populations in other countries have remained below their conservation targets. Although there has been some research on tiger conservation in the Terai Arc Landscape and the Himalayas, scientists and managers have not catalogued and characterized tiger research in the region, with empirical findings scattered among disparate document types, journals and countries. Without a review of the tiger research in the Terai Arc Landscape and Himalayan region, it is difficult to analyse or change conservation policies, develop adaptation strategies, prioritize research, allocate resources or develop conservation strategies potentially employable elsewhere. We therefore conducted a systematic scoping review to identify focal research areas, the spatial and temporal distribution of study sites, general publication trends, the extent of empirical studies, and gaps in tiger conservation research in this region (which spans Bhutan, India and Nepal). Since 2000, 216 studies have been published on issues associated with tiger conservation in the Terai Arc Landscape and Himalayas, with an increasing number over time. Most empirical studies have focused on tiger habitat, ecology and conflicts in protected areas in the region's foothills. There are research gaps in high-altitude landscapes, social science investigations, conservation economics, and policy and institutional analyses.

“…Some studies reported diversity of crop species and wild edible plants (WEP) managed in Angami homegardens (Singh and Teron, 2015;Singh and Teron, 2017). Pandey et al (2020) studied the socio-cultural and economic importance of jhum cultivation in Mon district of Nagaland. Review of various reports revealed scant information on agrobiodiversity and cultural values of traditional agroforestry systems of Angami Nagas of Nagaland.…”

Nhalie (shifting cultivation) and teizie (home garden) are the major forms of traditional agroforestry practices of Angami Nagas in Kohima district of Nagaland. They are characterized by high socio-cultural significance and prevalence of high degree of agrobiodiversity. The present study aims to assess agrobiodiversity and socio-cultural values of nhalie agroforestry of Angami Nagas in Kohima district of Nagaland, India. This study collected primary data from 60 households across five Angami villages by using methods of group discussion and participatory interview. Teizie and nhalie had higher average cultural ecosystem service values of 7.5 and 7.1, respectively. In term of economic ecosystem services, nhalie cultivation was perceived to be an important agroforestry practice with social use value (SUV) of 52.21. A total of 136 landraces of traditional crops belonging to 36 species were recorded. Two scented rice landraces (kethselha and rüluoo) and one sticky landrace (nhalenya) were reported. High overall Simpson’s Diversity Index value of 0.72 revealed high level of crop species diversity in nhalie agroforestry of Angami Nagas. Rice was the most common crop with the highest genetic diversity (22 landraces) followed by pumpkin, squash, taro, cucumber and maize. Nhalie agroforestry could serve as the major reservoir of traditional crop species and contribute to the conservation of these valuable traditional crop species on-farm. Further, the existing agrobiodiversity managed with the traditional wisdom of Angami Nagas in nhalie agroforestry systems is required to be preserved and disseminated for sustainable use of bioresources.
