Hundreds Of New Species Discovered In Eastern Himalayas

Dear all


Over 350 new species including the world's smallest deer , a "flying frog " and a 100-million years old gecko has been discovered in the eastern Himalayas
A decade of research carried out by scientists in remote mountains , endangered by rising global temperatures bought exiting discoveries .
Historically rugged and large inaccessible landscape of Himalayans made biological surveys in the region extremely difficult as a result many regions are biologically unexplored ........
Eastern Himalayas harbor a staggering 10,000 plant species , 300 mammal species , 977 bird species , 176 reptiles , 105 amphibians and 269 types of freshwater fishes . the region also have highest density of Bengal tigers in the world and latest bastion of charismatic one horned -rhino .
WWF is working to conserve the habitat of endangered species such as snow leopard ,Bengal tigers , Asian elephants , Red pandas , takin and golden langurs etc......
Its paradoxical to find man who needs the environment most id destroying its peace and sanctity ,,,directly r indirectly we are affecting the world around us so why don't we follow certain norms ..which can contribute in curbing Global Warming ...which is affecting Himalayan glaciers and the fauna niche on it ........Himalayan glacier is a small part of the worls if we want to save the worls we have to join hands and strive for a perfect world ....
