The cashmere crisis in the himalayan ice desert
I think there may be some confusion here!
There is no such thing as a "cashmere crisis" in the Himalayan ice desert. Cashmere is a type of fine wool obtained from the soft undercoat of the cashmere goat, which is native to the Himalayan region. However, the Himalayas are not an "ice desert" - they are a mountain range with a diverse range of ecosystems, including forests, grasslands, and glaciers.
The Himalayas are home to many endangered species, including the snow leopard, the Himalayan brown bear, and the red panda. The region is also prone to natural disasters such as landslides, avalanches, and earthquakes.
If you're referring to a specific issue or crisis related to cashmere production or trade, I'd be happy to help you explore that further. Alternatively, if you have any other questions or topics you'd like to discuss, feel free to ask!
