The Himalayas, one of the world’s richest biodiversity zones is warming faster than other parts of the globe. In West Bengal, the Sunderbans area has been hit hard by heatwaves. The rise in temperature in the forest region is harmful for the flora and the fauna. One may experience rapid climate and associated changes in various eco-regions. It will affect wildlife in Sunderbans and Gorumara forest. Much of the recent discussions on climate change in the Himalayas have been dominated by the extent of glacial melting.
