Human Activity Forces Himalayan Monal to Change Calls and Habitat

Two studies by Uttarakhand researchers reveal that growing human activity, infrastructure development, tourism, and climate change in the Himalayas are pushing the Himalayan monal to higher elevations and causing it to alter its vocal calls due to noise pollution. The bird, Uttarakhand's state bird and Nepal's national bird, faces habitat pressure in a sensitive ecological zone, signaling broader environmental stress in the northwestern Himalayas.
