🌸🌸GEOGRAPHY OPTIONAL MAINS THROUGH READ OF DAY(ROTD):

Conflict between humans and the enigmatic Himalayan brown bear is increasing across the Himalayas, compounded by the warming of the range and anthropogenic food waste generation.
The Himalayas have witnessed extensive clearing of native forests and grasslands. The human population of the region is still growing rapidly due to which there are increasing pressures for more intensive human land use.

“Furthermore, the Himalaya is also one of the fastest warming regions in the world, with mean annual temperature expected to increase by 1°C–2°C by 2050 and 1.5°C–3°C by the end of 21st century,” write the experts.

All this is having an effect on the Himalayan Brown Bear.
