Eastern Himalayas


Where are the Eastern Himalayas? Well let me tell you it stretches from “Nepal,Tibet,Bhutan,Northeast india and northern Myanmar”.” It’s contains 9 out of the 10 highest peaks in the world including Mount Everest”. These mountains are referred and the third pole in the world. They are one of the most major rivers for Asia and help regulate the planets climate. For centuries people made a unique culture that weaves nature and the people like fabric. This place is the birthplace of the great gut tam Buddha and is full of sacred natural sites and secret valleys that show the ancient history of Hinduism.


The Himalayas faces many challenges the government pressures people to save the natural heritage born in the Himalayas. They also strain forests for their cost and price for the timber that it produces. In a secret special region that is still undiscovered an acre of timber is worth up to 1,800 dollars as of May 2018.One of the other concerns is poaching there are very rare animals in that region like the snow leopard and the white tiger.


“The eastern Himalayas has the most dense population of bengal tigers in the world”. “Which live alongside of one of the greatest population of Asian elephants”. They also live along the one horned rhinos. The mountains provide refuge for red pandas, Golden jaguars and and snow leopard’s. This is the only known habitat that bengal tigers and snow leopards share habitat together. This is also a very dangerous place for elephants and rhinos because of their worth in the black market. Everyday 100 elephants are killed because of poachers and slaughter for their skin and tusks.


Smaller animals are slaughtered everyday for fish and meat and skin. The poachers use nets and poison to contaminate rivers for all the meat that they can get. People estimate that there are 15 poaching hotspots from Tibet to china's enormous region. Deer are a major worth in these places for their antlers a deer antler can be as costly as $150 to $200. Red pandas are lightly poachers buy they still suffer the red pandas they are worth $250,000 dollars to rent per year.


Now let me tell you how you can protect the eastern himalayas! First give the car a break and other things that use gas. Ride your bike to places or walk it is good for you and it helps you be more fit. Seconds of all stop buying things that have leather in them. This leather is made from animals first they are killed and skinned for their money.


So now you know some reason to protect the environment . Don’t buy things that contain ivory people break elephant tusks. For ivory and they are worth a lot in the black market. Last of all, don’t pollute it can cause lung cancer. It also melts ice because the earth gets warmer. This is also known as global warming if all the ice melts in the world the sea level will raise by 47 meters SO DON’T POLLUTE!!!!!!!
