Impact on Indian Himalaya:
I. Geological/Environmental impacts:
(i) irregular anomaly
(ii) anomalous phenomenon
II. Area impact on [illegible]
(i) make agriculture difficult
(ii) Loss of traditional agricultural practices
(iii) biodiversity loss => impact animal herds
(iv) Irregular.
Mitigation steps to mitigate impacts:
(i) Proper EIA for development projects
(ii) Dealing with floods
(iii) Dealing with landslide:
(iv) Increase protected areas => <5% of area under protection
Most importantly, an one himalaya approach by including Nepal, Bhutan, China & even Pakistan is an idea long at dawn.
Conclusion
An integrated one himalaya approach by including Nepal, Bhutan, China & even Pakistan is an idea long at dawn.
