WWF-India Network report has revealed that Leh and Kargil regions of Jammu
and Kashmir were poorly studied in terms of biodiversity and potential impacts
of climate change on the wetlands and local population in the area. The regions
are threatened by unsustainable tourism, overgrazing, unsustainable resource
extraction and increase in infrastructure. Ladakh, the report reads, is a
breeding ground of the black-necked crane (Grus nigricollis)—“a vulnerable
species—also found in China and Bhutan.”
