The Musk Deer (Moschus moschiferus) was once well distributed along the Himalayan region at altitude of 2700 to 4700 m. The indiscriminate killing of the deer for musk (Kasturi), which has great demand in indigenous medicine and perfumery had threatened its extinction. The destruction of habitat, climatic changes had also been contributed to their thinning number. Captive breeding of the musk deer has produced some encouraging results by which it can be led back from the brink of extinction. But it is simply not possible to sustain a long term captive breeding programme for such specialized animal. The habitat ecology, traditionally used poaching practices, causes of depletion, extraction of musk and its conservation strategy have been discussed in this study.

Panax pseudoginseng is an sman perennial herb of family Araliaceae, popularly known as 'Ginseng' is an important medicinal plant used for various diseases. Its tuberous ischolar_mains are the chief source of Chinese Miraculous drug "Sanchi". It is scarcely found in temperate regions of Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal and China. It is an endangered species and verge to extinction. But its cultivation has not been taken up till now. Recently it has been collected for the first time by authors from the temperate to alpine region of District Pithoragarh, U.P. It can be cultivated by seedlings raised from seed or from wilding. It is a good Source of income for the people living in the interior hills and needs conservation in natural habitat.- Effect of Fertiliser Application on the Growth and Yield of plantago Ovata forsk

The paper records a Study of the effect of fertiliser applications on freshly prepared terraces in hill soil of pine deforested areas on the growth, development and yield of Plantago ovata Forsk. Results of trials with doses of 112, 280, 504 and 785 kg per hectare of ammonium-sulphate and 125, 249, 374, 498, 622 and 747 kg per hectare of super-phosphate have been presented. Trials suggest that:-(a) The doses of 280 kg ammonium-sulphate and 498 kg super-phosphate result in highest increase in seed yields per bed, viz., 38% and 89% respectively as compared to the control (187 Quintal of F.Y.M. per hectare). (b) The seed yield per hectare on calculated basic with 280 kg per hectare dose of ammonium- sulphate is 896 kg per hectare as compared to control (280 kg/ hectare). Similarly with 498 kg per hectare dose of super-phosphate the yield is 420 kg per hectare as compared to control (309 kg per hectare). (c) Application of ammonium- sulphate in the doses 504 and 785 delayed the maturity by 1 and 2 weeks respectively, while super phosphate doses @ 125, 249 to 498, 622 and 747 kg per hectare hastened the maturity by 1, 2, 3 and 5 weeks respectively. (d) Physical characters of seed remain practically unaltered in the crops from different treatments as compared to control and seed conform to pharmacopocial standards. (e) Plantago ovata crops can be grown in hill. Economically with proper manuring and application of fertilisers.- A Short Note on Cultivation of Plantago ovata Forsk. in Sandy Soil in Kumaon Hills
