The Himalayas
Why should we care?
The Himalayan mountains in South Central Asia contain many of the world's tallest peaks, including Mount Everest. They also contain the biggest number of glaciers after the North and South poles. Three of the greatest rivers in the world start from these mountains: the Ganges, the Indus and the Yangtze. A billion people in Asia get water from these rivers.
What's happening?
The biggest danger to the Himalayas is global warming, which is melting the glaciers fast. There is also a huge problem with deforestation in the mountains. Many species of animals such as the tiger, the rhino and the snow leopard are in danger.
