Where the Bears Still Roam: Stories from the Mountains of Kargil | Nature Speaks | Episode 9
Nestled between the Line of Control and the mighty Himalayas, Kargil’s Drass Valley is the last refuge of the endangered Himalayan Brown Bear in India. These bears are not only genetically unique but also vital to the fragile mountain ecosystem. Yet, rising human-wildlife conflict and climate shifts threaten their survival.
In this episode, we journey through the high-altitude landscapes of Ladakh with WWF-India’s field experts, exploring how science and community come together to protect these magnificent creatures. From innovative conflict mitigation tools to ecological research, the episode uncovers the efforts reshaping coexistence.
You will also hear from the “Brown Bear Brothers” — local youth who have transformed fear into stewardship, becoming champions for their homeland’s wildlife.
Join us as we explore what it truly means to live alongside bears — guided by compassion, collaboration, and hope for a shared future.
