The Indian Army and the Ladakh Forest Department have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to protect wildlife in the region.
The agreement aims to strengthen conservation efforts in Ladakh’s fragile ecosystem, which is home to rare and endangered species.
Officials said the collaboration will focus on safeguarding habitats, preventing poaching, and promoting sustainable coexistence between local communities and wildlife.
The Indian Army will support the Forest Department in monitoring sensitive areas, while also raising awareness among troops and civilians about the importance of biodiversity.
The MoU reflects a broader commitment to environmental protection and sustainable development in Ladakh, where climate change and human activity pose growing challenges.
