International trade is prohibited by the Wildlife Protection Act in India.[citation needed] Snow Leopard Foundation (SLF) in Pakistan conducts research on the current status of Himalayan brown bears in the Pamir Range in Gilgit-Baltistan, a promising habitat for the bears and a wildlife corridor connecting bear populations in Pakistan to central Asia.
The project also intends to investigate the conflicts humans have with the bears, while promoting tolerance for bears in the region through environmental education. SLF received funding from the Prince Bernhard Nature Fund and Alertis.Unlike other brown bear subspecies, which are found in good numbers,[6] the Himalayan brown bear is highly endangered.
They are poached for their fur and claws for ornamental purposes and internal organs for use in medicines. They are killed by shepherds to protect their livestock and their home is destroyed by human encroachment. In Himachal, their home is the Kugti and Tundah wildlife sanctuaries and the tribal Chamba region. The tree bearing the state flower of Himachal, buransh, is the favourite habitat of the bear. Due to the high value of the buransh tree, it is commercially cut causing further destruction to the brown bear's home.
The populations in Pakistan are slow reproducing, small, and declining because of habitat loss, fragmentation, poaching, and bear-baiting. In India, brown bears are present in 23 protected areas in the northern states of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttaranchal, but only in two of these the bears are regarded as fairly common. There are about 150- 200 bears in total.
This is not a Pre wedding Shoot. This is a Post wedding Shoot. Nisha and Deepak came to Delhi a day before the shoot and were ready for the shoot right in time next morning. They were game for any thing and I believe they were the first couple who were without any expectations. That takes off the load from my shoulders.
The most interesting part was that Nisha could not help but smile at all point of time. I always thought smiles makes the pictures look unnatural , as if you are posing for the camera. I cringed. But in course of the shoot I accepted the fact that she is "The Smiling Girl", and she look good when she smiles. Now I feel , she is good at smiling and the pictures arent so bad. What do you say?
