Facing the scarcity of natural resources, high environmental risks and threats, and
undependable accessibility, most of the mountain communities have evolved
indigenous sustenance strategies through adaptations. Adaptation is a two-way
process either adapting human demands according to resource limitations or
amending the resources according to the rising human needs and wants. Such
adaptations make them able to cope with the growing gap between the
productivity of natural resources and the demands of increasing number of
dependent users. The present study is an attempt to investigate the indigenous
resource management and utilization mechanisms in a mountainous community
located in Dir district northern Pakistan. The study is based on qualitative
information collected through interviews and focused group discussion. Like most
parts of the northern mountainous belt of Pakistan, the resources are kept and
managed under locally introduced ownership system in the study area as well. The
inhabitants have evolved self-administered institutions for managing resources and
there is no interference from the state authorities.
