Ecological Costs of Raging Fire in Japan


They say nearly 70% of Nepal's Bardiya National Park has been consumed by fire in the past few days, causing huge losses to wild-life.

The park had been deemed a success story for elephant conservation, as well as being a refuge for endangered species such as tigers and rhinos.

Officials said a lack of resources allowed the fires to spread rapidly.

"We have not been able to assess the loss immediately because the fire is still raging at some places," the park's chief conservation officer Tika Ram Adhikari told BBC News.

"But given our past experiences, our estimate is that around 40% of small mammals, 60% of insects and significant number of birds have been lost in the fire."

  1. Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favourite justification appeared to be on the net the easiest factor to keep in mind of.
    I say to you, I certainly get annoyed whilst other folks think
    about issues that they just don't recognise about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top
    and outlined out the entire thing without having side-effects , folks can take a
    signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
