This unchecked exploitation threatens to irrevocably alter the delicate balance of the region’s flora and fauna. The rich biodiversity, a hallmark of this Himalayan area, is at severe risk.
Experts warn of long-term consequences, including soil erosion, water contamination, and the displacement of unique species. The potential for irreversible damage to this vital ecosystem is alarming.
