Sustaining Himalayas

As history repeats itself, we continue to notice that there are many geographic factors that effect regions across the world. A few of the most noticeable are monsoons and deserts. Over time these factors have altered the relationships between certain regions and benefitted our development in society. However, they can be extremely demoralizing as well. Not only is nature disrupted but the way in which people live on a daily basis. We are forced to make changes and adapt to the overwhelming geographic factors.

Picture yourself climbing the tallest mountain in the world, Mt. Everest. Many people have successfully scaled this mountain, but others have tried and failed. Mt. Everest has been called a Himalayan Wonder because of its geography and weather extremes (Urmann). By exploring the geography, the people who have tried to climb it, and the supplies you will need, one can see how brave the many people who tried to climb it have been.

will need to address the effects of the changing climate on society and the ecosystems and pursue

The Dangers of Mount Everest and How to Be Safe When Encountering the Dangers By: Prisha Patel

On May 10th 1996, the most catastrophic storm on Mount Everest took place. On this day a group of mountain climbers would reach the summit of Mount Everest, but five would not make it back down. The climbers reached the summit early afternoon that day but were not expected a fatal storm to hit. The storm strangled many on the top of the mountain and killed 5, including one of the most respected high-altitude guides in the world, Rob Hall.

Ring ring, you answer the phone the women with a sincere voice informs you that your loved one’s body has been found on the top of Mount Everest.

Mount Everest is a very interesting mountain, with it’s bizarre features and deadly dangers it makes for an interesting ascent for many climbers.

Mount Everest is one of the tallest mountains in the world. It is part of the Himalayan Mountains. They were formed in the last few million years. After the supercontinent of Laurasia broke up millions of years ago, India moved slowly north towards Asia and then crashed into it. The seabed between the two plates(the earth's crust is divided into large areas of land called plates) was crumbled and pushed up on the northern rim of India to form mountains. These two plates of the earth's crust are still moving, so the Himalayas are being pushed up higher. The highest mountain on the planet, Mount Everest is growing two inches taller each year. Satellite technology says the mountain is currently 29,107

The modern conservation movement, with a reliance on a purely scientific paradigm, has proved unsuccessful. The rate of biodiversity loss, unsustainable consumerism, and ecosystem destruction has not slowed down, and only 7% of global land surface has been saved. This is despite the wealth of information provided by western scientists how environmental degradation is harmful for the health of individuals, communities, our species, and our planet. “The environmental crisis is more than a matter of information, knowledge, and skills.”10 In order to form more effective, long-term policies and shift apathetic attitudes, scientific data and additionally TEK (Traditional

Evidence of Climate Change is being felt around the world. The most vulnerable areas are the least developed, which lack public instruments and infrastructure to adapt to the extreme effects of climate. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is vital to slow the progress of climate change, however, adapting to the consequences of this intensified climate crisis by the human being itself is key. Some countries understand it, others just cannot do too much about it. New evidence shows that Climate Change has affected many sectors in Asia. Crop yields in several countries have declined, due in part to increased temperature and external weather events. The retreat of glaciers and permafrost in Asia in recent years has no precedent and is a consequence

In the current management system in Nepal, community forestry (CF) is one of the effective mechanisms to reduce deforestation and increase greenery in the country, but there is uncertainty to what extent CF supports biodiversity conservation (Acharya, 2003). Community forestry has contributed to improving and diversifying livelihoods by mobilizing locally available natural forest. As per the Forest Act (1993), community forest user groups (CFUGs) retain 100% of revenues generated and 25% are used in forest development
