The present case study is prepared by the Van Gujjar Tribal Yuva Sanghatan (Hereinafter, Sanghatan) to highlight the measures undertaken by the Van Gujjar pastoralists engaging in breed conservation of the indigenous Gojri buffalo and protecting its pastoral landscape. The Sanghatan has chosen Kunaon Chaur, a grassland within Gohri range, Pauri Garhwal district, as a model site to throw light on how they utilize common property resources and contribute towards sustainable pasture land development. The recognition for the work of the Sanghatan in this landscape will encourage it to develop similar practices in other regions with Van Gujjars and the Gojri breed therein. The Sanghatan hopes its efforts on facilitating claims under the Forest Rights Act, 2006 and sustained conservation initiatives will bring positive reward in the near future.
