        abstract = {Women in Uttarakhand have played a significant role in environmental conservation, drawing from their deep connection with nature and the socio-economic context of the region. Women in Uttarakhand are integral to environmental conservation efforts through their leadership in grassroots movements, sustainable resource management, and the preservation of traditional knowledge. Their contributions are vital to maintaining the ecological balance and promoting sustainable development in the region. Women in Uttarakhand are increasingly involved in climate change advocacy, raising awareness about the impacts of climate change on their communities. They participate in various initiatives and campaigns to protect their environment from the adverse effects of global warming, such as glacial melting, erratic rainfall, and landslides. Traditional festivals and rituals in Uttarakhand often involve practices that honor and protect the environment. Women play a central role in these cultural activities, passing down knowledge and traditions that emphasize the importance of living in harmony with nature.},
