Question

The Northern mountains of India are rich source of forest and water resources. What are the negative effects of uncontrolled exploitations of these resources of Himalayas by man. Suggest some rectifying measures also.

Answer 1

Answer:

Biodiversity will be affected on a large scale if there is uncontrolled exploitation of water and forest resources. Animals will lose their natural habitat and climatic changes will occur after a few years. So use of natural resources of the mountains should be done with care, so that the ecology is not seriously disturbed. Only a very limited amount of water and forest reserves should be used. Trees can be freshly planted to replace the forests being exploited.
