A Glimpse of Vegetation and Threatened Medicinal Plant Diversity of Govind Wildlife Sanctuary, Garhwal Himalaya

Govind Wild Life Sanctuary (GWLS), situated in Uttarkashi  district of Uttarakhand, India, supports enormous plant diversity  including several threatened plants of high medicinal value.
