Wild life conservative as well as the scientists have shown the concern to protect smallest ever world record deer and its frazil eco system. Himalaya has very diverse biological and ecological system and all concern should take planned steps to protect.

With the wildlife tourists and mining, and other human activities should be progressed in such a manner that both the delicate eco system of Himalaya and human activities can co exits without harming each other. Save the world record smallest ever deer and its eco system and help the mother Nature.
