CLIMATE CHANGE: TWO MUSTANG VILLAGES DESERTED- NEPAL



With rapidly increasing temperatures, sources of water have dried up in Samjung and Ghey villages of the Mustang district, western Nepal, compelling people to find a more habitable place down in the south. Weather pattern in the area ranges from extreme drought to extreme rainfall increasing the risk to flash floods and landslide. Another indicator of the changing climate has been the migration of animals and wild life to the upper mountains from the lower regions and thriving apple plantations in areas up to 3000 meters.
