Arunachal Pradesh:

Arunalchal Pradesh, the northeastern state of India borders the states of Assam and Nagaland to the south and shares international borders with Burma to the east, Bhutan in the west and the People’s Republic of China in the north. Majority of its part is claimed by China as part of South Tibet.

China’s proposal to build dams on the Brahmaputra’s Tibetan stretch is threatening to kill the tributaries of one of the biggest rivers of South Asia. The river drastically loses its height when it enters India, creating several waterfalls and rapids, making the white waters ideal for rafting. This effort’s of China to generate more hydroelectricity is sure taking the charge away from India’s adventure tourism.

1: Depending on which specialist you ask there's anything between 50 and 100 species of lemur in Madagascar. But yes, more are being discovered while at the same time all of them are to some degree threatened with extinction - some, like the Silky Sifaka, with maybe as few as 300 left, are very close to wiped out. But there ARE organisations fighting to protect such species, working in partnership with the people of the island. The Malagasy people themselves are amongst the most impoverished, vulnerable and neglected people on the planet. Small organisations like Azafady, Feedback Madagascar, Blue Ventures, ALT and the many local NGOs supported by charity Money for Madagascar are doing all they can, working with local communities to help people support themselves as well as protect their local environment and wildlife, for the sake of present and future generations.
