Abstract: Chilgoza pine (Pinus gerardiana Wall.) has a restricted distribution in India, though it is an important ecological and economic species in the Himalaya. This species is restricted in dry temperate region of North-Western Himalaya but lack of regeneration has threatened species existence in the Himalaya. Because, large numbers of biotic and abiotic factors have affected P. gerardiana in these forests; hence, there is a crucial need to review ecological status of species in the region. One of the important site factor is the collection of cone/seed by local villagers from most of the trees, while few trees those grows in remote areas and steep slopes, which cannot be harvested, only provide seeds for the regeneration. Young trees are scarce or entirely lacking, the mature trees predominate in its natural zone.
