19. Environmental Problems
Wildlife
Losing land to deforestation
and irrigation; over hunting
(tourists & farmers…why?)
Reserves are being created, stricter laws, and financial incentives for cooperation

Elephant orphanage in Sri Lanka

20. Environmental Problems
Ganges R.
Water

access to clean water
Worse in Pak. & Bang.!

Name 4 effects of deforestation in S. Asia…
Chipko movement (70s):
Teaches impt. of trees
Provides seedlings for
reforestation
Pushes govn’t action

22. Environmental Problems
Silt Erosion
Coastal areas/deltas face severe flooding displace 2 billion tons of silt each year
People constantly moving homes
