Climate change is a major threat as far as birds are concerned. The impact is visible in the shifting distribution of sensitive species. The avian population is an important indicator of the ecological balance. The impacts of climate change in the Himalayas are real. Increasing temperatures, melting glaciers, erratic and unpredictable weather conditions and changing rainfall patterns, are impacting the habitat of birds in the Himalayan region.
The book “Himalayan Birds on Stamps” focuses on how different philatelic materials issued by Himalayan countries India, Nepal, Bhutan, China and Pakistan, can narrate the story of different species of Himalayan Birds. Different available philatelic materials like stamps, stamp blocks, FDC, Miniature Sheets, Maxim Cards, Postcards etc. are included
