How sad it would be to find the wild Bactrian camel as permanently extinct species in the close to future simply because this rare and special animal is critically in danger. This two humped camel is the native animal of the deserts of Mongolia and China. According to an estimate, presently there are only significantly less than 1,000 wild Bactrian camels in the globe. The wild Bactrian camel is biologically recognized as “Camelus bactrianus” and most of the surviving wild Bactrian camels dwell in the remote and deserted places of the Chinese nuclear test variety.
The wild Bactrian camel
The wild Bactrian camel has a special quality that it can survive by drinking even a saltwater slush. The other species of camel are not able to adopt this top quality. This wonderful feature has been developed in the wild Bactrian camel as a result of living in extreme desert situations for thousands of years and hence an immune technique is developed in their bodies which could prove resistant to particular kinds of illness. In China the wild Bactrian camel are located in the Gobi desert variety which has intense climatic circumstances. In this region there is no fresh water only the saline variety which bubbles up to the surface from underground springs and on which the wild Bactrian camel survives. No other living creature, not even the domestic camel, can drink it.

There are some breeding and protection programmes by the Mongolian and the Chinese authorities and a modest captive population of the wild Bactrian camel is also kept in Mongolia and China. The wild Bactrian camel is normally targeted by hunters looking for food, sport, or merely to defend their personal domestic animals which compete with the camels for grazing space. In October 2002, the estimated 800 remaining in the wild in northwest China and Mongolia were classified as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Wild Turkey ( Meleagris gallopavo) is a large aboriginal bird specie from North America which is famously identified for its exclusive physique. The Native American Wild Turkeys apparently resemble just like the domesticated Turkey which is in fact the off spring of Wild Turkey.Originally Wild Turkey had numerous species which are extinct by now and their traces can be fond from virtually 23 millions ago. Meleagris ocellata is also another specie of Wild Turkey which belongs to the forests of the Yucatán Peninsula.

The typical vocalization of Wild Turkey are of a variety of kinds which vary from their mood and seasons.
Wild Turkey is an agile and clever bird which can fly and move quite speedily assessing the danger. The Wild Turkeys don’t fly too significantly above the land and they can fly for 400 to 500 meters. In the Spring season the male Wild Turkey gobbles in a very delightful manner to attract her female and his gobbling can be listened from a mile. Throughout the breeding season the female can lay up to 15 buff colored eggs and she incubates the eggs for 25-31 days. The chicks or poults leave the nest shortly following hatching. Essentially the Wild Turkeys becoming the omnivore can eat acorns, nuts, seeds, fruits, insects, buds fern fronds and salamanders.The Wild Turkey has so significantly significance in the Native American culture.

Several ritual dances have been inspired by the movements of The Native American Wild Turkey.
It was the “Land of Wild Roses” ahead of it became the highest battlefield of the world. It was the Armageddon of storms but the human megalomania created it the combat zone between two possible nations of the planet. We believe that Pakistanis or Indians feel pride that this frozen pool exists in their region but not certain whether or not they like this to be the bone of contention among them. By now, it would have grow to be a necropolis of hundreds of soldiers. What if we make it a real Peace Park?
Siachen Glacier: The Land of Wild Roses ( Image: Pawel Kopczynski )
In the eastern Karakoram Variety, just adjacent to the Line of Manage, the second biggest glacier outdoors the Polar Regions lies with all of its glory and esteem. This is known as Siachen Glacier, the land of wild roses which is a word from Balti language. Sia indicates “roses” whilst Chen denotes “something in abundance”. This name was connected to this no man’s land for its reduce basin to be the botanic garden of exotic flowers and thorny shrubs which grow on the rocky outcrops. The military presence was out of query before 1980’s as it was only the property of majestic peaks and glacial masses far from the human inhabitation. It lies appropriate in the middle of the Saltoro Ridge which originates in the north from the Sia Kangri peak on the China border in the Karakoram Variety. Due to its comprehensive glacial geography sometimes it is also referred as the “Third Pole” and it separates the Eurasian Plate from the Indian Subcontinent. Siachen Glacier is nearly 75 Km long but the complete of Siachen Glacier system like its tributary ice bergs cover an region about 700 kmtwo (270 sq mi). Siachen Glacier is also the water supply of the Nubra River of Ladakh which falls into the Shyok River. Shyok in the end drains into the wonderful Indus River.

Siachen Glacier was technically under the manage of Pakistan as most of the mountaineering expedition permits have been granted by the Government of Pakistan. This region was far from the military presence but on 13th April, 1984 the Operation Meghdoot was launched by the Kumaoun Regiment of the Indian Army and occupied the leading area of the Siachen Glacier. As a outcome of which Pakistan also responded with the fast deployment of her Army but meanwhile the control of the Sia La and Bilfond La passes were taken by the Indian troops. Gyong La pass remained beneath the manage of Pakistan but given that then it has turn out to be the mountain warfare in between these two nations. However all the access to the neighboring high Mountain Peaks is blocked by the Pakistan Army and entire the expeditions pass by means of the approval of the Pakistani Government.

“The Land of Wild Roses” is now the highest battlefield of the planet and no permanent demarcation of the Line of Control has resulted into a extended dispute in between these two nations. Presently, the scenario is that neither Pakistan Army can go up to the glacier nor the Indian troops can come down. According to the statistics, each armies have spent trillions and suffered from the 6,000 personal causalities of the soldiers. Key causalities are the outcome of the extreme climate circumstances. The climate of this region is fully inhospitable and avalanche-prone terrains have claimed more lives than the gunfire.
A significant catastrophe occurred on 10th of April, 2012, when the Military Camp of Pakistan was destroyed by the hit of a monstrous avalanche and a lot more than 130 Pakistani soldiers have been buried more than there. Both sides are apparently agreed to vacate this area from their respective troops but virtually they are reluctant to take the first step. There is no true justification to militarize the Siachen Glacier and this is incredibly much better to restore the Siachen Glacier in its preposition. The enormous and useless costs which have occurred in all of this military exercising are criticized by the philanthropists of the both sides.
Yet another major concern is the ecological disturbance of this location as the glaciers are melting on a rapid rate. Each of the Governments must think about that their bloodthirsty campaign is putting the population of the both countries beneath threat of catastrophic floods and droughts .The atmosphere is being polluted and the enormous area is degraded. On the other side the Global Warming has also significantly lowered the Siachen Glacier over recent decades. This location was the habitat of Snow Leopards and Snow Bears but now their dens are becoming eliminated due to habitat destruction and war. The Indian Government has installed a long Oil pipeline on its side along the Siachen Glacier and both of the armies are continuously making use of chemicals to melt and reduce via the perfect glacial ice to build their bunkers, helipads and airfields.
The men and women of each of these excellent nations truly want to establish the Siachen Glacier, the land of wild roses as a genuine Peace Park. This region can be converted into an atmosphere friendly national park. Both of the countries have adequate land to home their folks and now this is the time to move forward and neglect the previous. Otherwise our upcoming generations will only find this as a past natural wonder in their geographical literature.
