Abstract

In the  present study  resource depletion and environmental management of the Kiarda Dun have been highlighted  to  work  out  the     resource   management   in  this  region   which  is  being  degraded   by overgrazing,   deforestation,   over  lopping,  unscientific  blasting,  over   mining  over  ploughing,   Such activities  have  activated the  natural  'geo- catastrophic processes like  land  sliding,   mud  flowing, soil creeping, gulling and slumping and are responsible for depletion of resources in the Kiardadun.  Further, unplanned   extension  and  non-coordination of  various development  agencies,   along   with   a  poor ecological perception has caused  the evolution of various environmental problems in the Kiardadun.
