  The aim of the present study was to understand fuelwood consumption pattern of the villager at different altitudes in Takoli Gad Watershed. Three different altitudes i.e., 500-800 m (lower altitude) 800-1100 m (middle altitude), 1100-1500 m (upper altitude) were selected. At each altitude three villages were selected i.e., Dangchaura, Pali, Sauru (500-800 m), Takoli Tolu Amoli (800-1100 m) and Maikhandi Riscoti Kwili (1100-1500 m). Each selected village was further categorized based on family size into small, medium and large to observe impact of family size on fuelwood consumption. The results indicate that fuelwood consumption among family size (irrespective villages) ranged from 430.70 to 643.61 kg/capita/year (lower altitude), 486.66 to 689.90 kg/capita/year (middle altitude), 406.57 to 675.25 kg/ capita/year (upper altitude). The consumption of fuelwood increased with increasing .. View More»
