exinction of few species

2. The natural environment encompasses all living and non-living things
occurring naturally on Earth or some region thereof. It is an
environment that encompasses the interaction of all living species. The
concept of the natural environment can be distinguished by
components:
Complete ecological units that function as natural systems without
massive human intervention, including
all vegetation, microorganisms, soil, rocks, atmosphere, and natural
phenomena that occur within their boundaries.
Universal natural resources and physical phenomena that lack clear-cut
boundaries, such as air, water, and climate, as well
as energy, radiation, electric charge, and magnetism, not originating
from human activity.

3. Our Wildlife
Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems. Deserts,
forests, rain forests, plains, grasslands, and other areas
including the most developed urban sites, all have
distinct forms of wildlife. While the term in popular
culture usually refers to animals that are untouched by
human factors, most scientists agree that wildlife
around the world is impacted by human activities.

4. Animals Destruction
Animal species are becoming extinct faster than at any
time since the dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago at
the end of the Cretaceous period. As of 1990, 12 per cent
of mammals and 11 per cent of birds worldwide were
classified as endangered or threatened. In the United
States alone, 540 species are endangered, and another
150 are on the threatened list.

7. The Kashmir stag (Cervus elaphus
hanglu), also called hangul, is
a subspecies of Red Deer native
to India, especially in Jammu and
Kashmir where it is the state animal.
Kashmir Stag is listed as critically
endangered by IUCN as population is
counted 160 mature individuals in
2008 census.

8. Description
This deer has a light rump patch without including
the tail. Its coat color is brown with a speckling to
the hairs. The inner sides of the buttocks are
grayish white, followed by a line on the inner
sides of the thighs and black on the upper side of
the tail. Each antler consists of five tines. The
beam is strongly curved inward, while the brow
tines are usually close together and above the
burr.

9. Threats And Conservation
These deer once numbered from about 5,000 animals in the
beginning of the 20th century. Unfortunately, they were
threatened, due to habitat destruction, over-grazing by domestic
livestock, and poaching. This dwindled to as low as 150 animals
it is the only surviving race of the Red Deer family of Europe in
the sub-continent. The animal is battling for its survival in its last
bastion: they are now scattered within 141 km² of the Dachigam
National Park located on foothills of Zabarwan range on the
outskirts of Srinagar. Known for its magnificent antlers with 11
to 16 points, hangul was once distributed widely in the mountains
of Kashmir. During 1940's, their number was believed to be about
3,000-5,000. As per the latest census in 2008, only around 160
exist.

11. Gee's golden langur or simply the golden
langur, is an Old World monkey found in a
small region of western Assam, India and in
the neighboring foothills of the Black
Mountains of Bhutan. It is one of the most
endangered primate species of India. Long
considered sacred by many Himalayan
people

12. Golden langurs have long been
considered sacred by Himalayan
peoples. However, they only came to
the attention of scientists as a distinct
species in the 1950s so little is known
about their behaviour. Named after
their gorgeously coloured coats, golden
langurs spend most of the day in the
forest tree tops, rarely descending to
the ground. These secretive leaf-eating
monkeys are one of India's most
endangered primates. They are also
found in the foothills of Bhutan's
Black Mountains.

14. The red panda (Ailurus fulgens, or shining-cat), is a
small arboreal mammal native to the eastern Himalayas and
southwestern China . It is the only extant species of the genus
Ailurus. Slightly larger than a domestic cat, it has reddish-brown
fur, a long, shaggy tail, and a waddling gait due to its shorter
front legs. It feeds mainly on bamboo, but is omnivorous and
may also eat eggs, birds, insects, and small mammals. Although
red pandas are protected by national laws in their range
countries, their numbers in the wild continue to decline mainly
due to habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching, and inbreeding
depression. The red panda is endemic to the temperate forests of
the Himalayas, and ranges from the foothills of
western Nepal to China in the east. It may also live in
southwest Tibet and northern Arunachal Pradesh

15. Worldwide population estimates range
from fewer than 2,500
individuals to between 16,000 and 20,000
individuals. In 1999,
the total population in China was
estimated at between 3,000 and 7,000
individuals. In 2001, the wild population
in India was estimated at
between 5,000 and 6,000
individuals. Estimates for Nepal indicate
only a few hundred individuals. There are
no records from Bhutan or
Burma.

16. Conservation
The red panda is protected in all range countries, and hunting is illegal.
Beyond this, conservation efforts are highly variable between countries
•China has 35 protected areas covering about 42.4% of red panda
habitat.
•India has 20 protected areas with known or possible red panda
populations in Sikkim,Arunachal Pradesh and West Bengal such
as Khangchendzonga National Park,Namdapha National Park and
singalila National Park, and a coordinated conservation policy for the
red panda.
•Bhutan has five protected areas that support red panda populations.
•Burma has 26 protected areas, of which at least one hosts red panda
• populations.

21. The Asian black bear
The Asian black bear also known as the moon bear or
white- chested bear , is a medium-sized specie of bear,
largely adapted for Arboreal life, seen across much of
the Himalayas and the northern parts of the
Indian Subcontinent . The species
is morphologically very similar to some prehistoric
bears, and is thought by some scientists to be the
ancestor of other extant bear species . Though
largely herbivorous Asian black bears can be very
aggressive toward humans, and have frequently
attacked people without provocation. The species was
described by Rudyard Kipling as "the most bizarre of
the ursine species.
