KAMAL BAWA | SANDESH KADUR Foreword George Schaller | Peter Raven Life on earth is unique, beautiful, and precious. Life in the Himalaya is as rich, spectacular and fragile as the mountains themselves. Himalaya—Mountains of Life is a unique photo documentary of this life in the world’s tallest mountains. This book takes us on a journey through the diverse landscapes and introduces us to the ethnic diversity that mirrors these landscapes, and the various plant and animal communities that occur in these mountains. This book is published by the Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment and marketed by Felis Creations ISBN : 978-1-61584-512-5
