The Kashmir valley, often referred to as Paradise on Earth, is famous for its beautiful mountainous landscape; in recent years though, Kashmir has see rapid environmental degradation. These changes have taken place due to various reasons such as deforestation, melting glaciers, and the depletion of snow cover. This has lead to problems such as shrinking water supply, shrinking water bodies and wetlands, soil degradation, etc. Further, J&K also faces problems such as under utilization of funds, technology inadequacy, lack of education and awareness on environmental problems and lack of government support.
