The natural environment encompasses all living and non-living things that occur naturally, and includes complete ecological systems without human intervention as well as universal resources like air and water. It can be distinguished by components like ecosystems and natural resources. Many animal species are becoming extinct at unprecedented rates due to habitat loss and other threats. Several endangered species in Asia are described such as the Kashmir stag with a population of only 160, the golden langur found in India and Bhutan, the red panda found in the Himalayas, and the snow leopard a large cat found in Central and South Asia that is endangered. Conservation efforts aim to protect these and other threatened wildlife.

2. The natural environment encompasses all living and non-living things
occurring naturally on Earth or some region thereof. It is an
environment that encompasses the interaction of all living species. The
concept of the natural environment can be distinguished by
components:
Complete ecological units that function as natural systems without
massive human intervention, including
all vegetation, microorganisms, soil, rocks, atmosphere, and natural
phenomena that occur within their boundaries.
Universal natural resources and physical phenomena that lack clear-cut
boundaries, such as air, water, and climate, as well
as energy, radiation, electric charge, and magnetism, not originating
from human activity.

4. Animals Destruction
Animal species are becoming extinct faster than at any
time since the dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago at
the end of the Cretaceous period. As of 1990, 12 per
cent of mammals and 11 per cent of birds worldwide
were classified as endangered or threatened. In
the United States alone, 540 species are endangered,
and another 150 are on the threatened list.

7. The Kashmir Stag
The Kashmir stag (Cervus elaphus
hanglu), also called hangul, is
a subspecies of Red Deer native
to India, especially in Jammu and
Kashmir where it is the state animal.
Kashmir Stag is listed as critically
endangered by IUCN as population is
counted 160 mature individuals in
2008 censu

9. These deer once numbered from about 5,000 animals in the beginning of
the 20th century. Unfortunately, they were threatened, due to habitat
destruction, over-grazing by domestic livestock, and poaching. This
dwindled to as low as 150 animals it is the only surviving race of the
Red Deer family of Europe in the sub-continent. The animal is battling
for its survival in its last bastion: they are now scattered within 141
km² of the Dachigam National Park located on foothills of Zabarwan
range on the outskirts of Srinagar. Known for its magnificent antlers
with 11 to 16 points, hangul was once distributed widely in the
mountains of Kashmir. During 1940's, their number was believed to be
about 3,000-5,000. As per the latest census in 2008, only around 160
exist.

11. Gee's golden langur or simply the golden langur, is
an Old World monkey found in a small region
of western Assam, India and in the neighboring
foothills of the Black Mountains of Bhutan. It is one
of the most endangered primate species of India. Long
considered sacred by many Himalayan people

Golden langur
Golden langurs have long been
considered sacred by Himalayan
peoples. However, they only came
to the attention of scientists as a
distinct species in the 1950s so
little is known about their
behaviour. Named after their
gorgeously coloured coats, golden
langurs spend most of the day in
the forest tree tops, rarely
descending to the ground. These
secretive leaf-eating monkeys are
one of India's most endangered
primates. They are also found in
the foothills of Bhutan's Black
Mountains.
Scientific name:Trachypithecus gee
Common names : Gee's golden
langur , Golden leaf monkey

14. Red panda

16. Conservation
The red panda is protected in all range countries, and hunting is illegal.
Beyond this, conservation efforts are highly variable between countries
•China has 35 protected areas covering about 42.4% of red panda
habitat.
•India has 20 protected areas with known or possible red panda
populations in Sikkim,Arunachal Pradesh and West Bengal such
as Khangchendzonga National Park,Namdapha National Park and
singalila National Park, and a coordinated conservation policy for the
red panda.
•Bhutan has five protected areas that support red panda populations.
•Burma has 26 protected areas, of which at least one hosts red panda
• populations.

21. The Asian black bear
The Asian black bear also known as the moon bearor
white- chested bear , is a medium-sized specie of bear,
largely adapted for Arboreal life, seen across much of
the Himalayas and the northern parts of the
Indian Subcontinent . The species is morphologically very
similar to some prehistoric bears, and is thought by some
scientists to be the ancestor of other extant bear species .
Though largely herbivorous Asian black bears can be very
aggressive toward humans, and have frequently attacked
people without provocation. The species was described
by Rudyard Kipling as "the most bizarre of the ursine
species.
