The study used an ethnographic approach to understand pastoralism and livelihood resilience among the Changpa community in the Changthang, a trans-Himalayan region. Findings show various factors challenging the sustainability of pastureland and pastoralism. Those factors include increased rural-urban migration, infrastructural development, increased security concerns at the border, expanding protected areas, and creating restrictions in accessing the border pasture. Climatic changes have resulted in increasing temperatures and drying of pasture. The snow disaster in 2013 left the pastoralists of Korzok with various livelihood vulnerabilities due to the loss of livestock. Despite many adversities, livelihood diversification through tourism, availability of labor work with the Army, government pastoralism revival plan, and increased demand for pashmina helped the Changpa community build resilience. Amid these changes, the study argues for a community resilient practice that underlines coexistence with nature, biodiversity, and climate change adaptation among the Changpas in the Changthang region.
