Yarsagumba is in crisis due to climate change

By Hari Krishna Aidi,Mugu, June 30: The impact of climate change has a direct bearing on the high-altitude pastures in the Himalayan region. The valuable herbs like yarsagumba found in Nepal's Himalayan areas are beginning to disappear due to the global temperature rise. Local Palju Lama said that the precious herb yarsagumba, found in the northern part of Mugum Karmarong Rural Municipality in Mugu, is starting to disappear as snowfall in the Himalayan regions has decreased in recent years.
