Their very verticality and exposure to the sun and prevailing wind directions produce a range of different habitats whose composition may vary dramatically with minor variations in altitude. These differences can be obvious in the tropics or sub-tropics – such as the presence of palm trees at lower altitudes and glaciers at higher ones – or more subtle, such by Thomas Schaaf, UNESCO as the shifts in insect species as one moves up a mountain slope. Anthropogenically induced erosion (e.g. over-grazing) and natural hazards (floods, avalanches, glacial lake outbursts, seismic activities) testify to the fragility of mountain environments. And yet the fragility and in particular the diversity of mountains make them most valuable from the point of view of biodiversity conservation. Relict species from former climatic periods and rare and endangered species find refuge in relatively inaccessible areas that benefit from low levels of disturbance by humans. Preface However, biodiversity conservation is at risk when economic development, social development and environmental protection are practised in a disaggregated manner. It should not be by the Rio+20 conference to be held in Brazil in 2012 (twenty overlooked that mountains also provide homes to people and years after the Earth Summit) will be ‘green economy in the their distinct cultures.

    Origins Interviewer I’m going to ask you a little bit about West Point as we begin. So—and some of this is just merely what they call tagging to be able to—the camera’s running now—to be able to allow the transcriber to set this in a certain—according to certain search mechanisms. So, what class at West Point were you? Andrew Bacevich 1969. Interviewer 1. And you were—you come from where? Where did you grow up? Andrew Bacevich Indiana. Interviewer Indiana, so did I. Andrew Bacevich Oh, really? Where? Interviewer Yeah, Indianapolis, where we— Andrew Bacevich Okay, upstate, Calumet region, around Hammond and Highland and places like that. Interviewer And can you tell me just in general terms the various assignments that you had during your career, particularly your career in the military, but even going up to your academic career, just so we list off, and then we’ll get back to it. Andrew Bacevich Sure. I served as a commissioned officer for 23 years, short tour— after school, short tour at Fort Riley, deployed to Vietnam in the summer of 1970. Stayed there until the summer of 1971. In Vietnam, I served first with the 2nd Squadron, 1st Cavalry, and then the 1st Squadron, 10th Cavalry. When I came home, I was assigned to the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment at Fort Bliss. The regiment moved—excuse me, at Fort Lewis, Washington, the regiment moved to Fort Bliss, and I moved with it. That’s where I commanded K Troop, 3rd Squadron, 3rd Cavalry.

Therefore, it is essential to disruption of community structure (Novasek and identify suitable conservation priorities in biodiversity Cleland, 2001). As a result of the anthropogenic rich areas. For this myriads of conservational pressure, the plant extinction rate has reached approaches are being implemented in various ecosystems across the globe.

At present, the rapid loss of species is specific studies in the Indian Himalayas for assessing estimated to be between 1,000–10,000 times the ‘threatened species’.

According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, without obtaining the positive conclusion of the state environmental assessment for project documentation the corresponding construction cannot be started. Project documentation on construction of the gas pipeline “Altai” did not arrive to the state environmental assessment of federal level. The order of the Russian Federation Government of August 13, 2013 No. 1416-r become invalid. The Government of Altai Republic has no plans for construction and reconstruction of linear constructions and other capital construction projects in borders of the object of the world heritage. The object of the world heritage continues to work on recommendations of UNESCO 2012 mission. In the territory of the World Heritage, the main violations of special protection order are connected with illegal stay in the territories of the reserves. Monitoring researches of a snow leopard and argali groups are conducted, field researches on identification of a reindeer summer habitats, works on the project "The organization of long-term monitoring system of climate changes and ecosystems of the reserve "Altaisky" are continued in the territory of the World Heritage. The increase of a tourist stream at the territory of the World Heritage is noted. In territories of national parks and natural parks of regional value, informative tourism is dated to the developed ecological routes.

Equally important is the sustained supply of electricity for the metro areas and various industrial purposes. The Himalayas, which have high hydropower potential and a rich bio diversity, are the focus of both the hydropower and conservation sectors.

    Rajaji National Park

    Rajaji National Park drishtiias.com/printpdf/rajaji-national-park Why in News Recently, a clash took place between Van Gujjars and the Uttarakhand forest officials in the Rajaji National Park. Key Points Location: Haridwar (Uttarakhand), along the foothills of the Shivalik range, spans 820 square kilometres. Background: Three sanctuaries in the Uttarakhand i.e. Rajaji, Motichur and Chila were amalgamated into a large protected area and named Rajaji National Park in the year 1983 after the famous freedom fighter C. Rajgopalachari; popularly known as “Rajaji”. Features: This area is the North Western Limit of habitat of Asian elephants. Forest types include sal forests, riverine forests, broad–leaved mixed forests, scrubland and grassy. It possesses as many as 23 species of mammals and 315 bird species such as elephants, tigers, leopards, deers and ghorals, etc. It was declared a Tiger Reserve in 2015. It is home to the Van Gujjars in the winters. Van Gujjars: It is one of the few forest-dwelling nomadic communities in the country. Usually, they migrate to the bugyals (grasslands) located in the upper Himalayas with their buffaloes and return only at the end of monsoons to their makeshift huts, deras, in the foothills. They inhabit the foothills of Himalayan states like Himachal Pradesh, Uttrakhand. They traditionally practice buffalo husbandry; a family owns up to 25 heads of buffaloes. They rely on buffaloes for milk, which gets them a good price in Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh markets. 1/2 Other Protected Areas in Uttarakhand: Jim Corbett National Park (first National Park of India). Valley of Flowers National Park and Nanda Devi National Park which together are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
